I just finished installing my new (to me) Special Ops muffler. I started it up and ...WOW! a little louder than expected. The sound though is just what I wanted. It had the deep thump I expected. My shop is only about 400 Sq Ft so the high volume may be due to the room size. I can't wait to give'r it a rip down the street. It's 10 F right now so it'll have to wait...

I just got one last week and I love it! I don't think it's too loud. It was soooo damned quiet before, it just seems too loud. Wait till you hear the music it makes at speed.....

Is there an advantage to the Spec Ops over the Drummer??

Dan,
What did you do as far as your ECM? Did you get a new key? Any changes?

Yes they do. What do you mean by "over run"?
I can only tell you this so far, There is pronounced increase in torque. Torque is good. I like torque. I have not had a chance to do a top end run yet but I will and will report what I find. Maybe this weekend.

Just my 2cents,
I run the Spec Ops pipe and I really like it the more I run it. I like keeping the stock look, but the loud attitude. I love keeping the jack point and the bash protection when I am playing on the dirt roads.

I did notice this though, the first two weeks I ran it the bike ran just as before but with more Torque felt and the bike rev'd more freely. After two weeks I started to get a hang in the throttle, meaning the throttle wouldn't return to normal idle once I let off it. It would hover around 2k until I came to a complete stop for about 2 seconds. I thought this might be a bad intake seal and did the test, but I found nothing.
I finally took the bike in to have it checked out and the dealer did a TPS reset and all was cured. I have had it on my bike now for a little over 6 months I think and since the TPS reset I have had no issues.

All Love for the Spec Ops pipe.
