As promised here is my video of my newly installed Barker Slip on installed. A few notes: - The sound is more "crackly" then in person. Especially when blipping the throttle in the beginning. I assume its my little sony handcam's fault. - I may be running a little lean because I still have the original 08 flash. I will be getting the newest one soon. I had a ••• tune for the older flash, thats why I never upgraded. Overall, I rode about 25 miles. It has a little gurgle in decel, but not too bad. Again I have not given the ecm a chance to "learn" at all. And I am still running the old flash. Compared to the Jardine, it is a little quieter. This is without the quiet core. I should be receiving it in the next couple days. I will do another video with it installed. It is definitely deeper then the Jardine. If I had to make a analogy I would say the Jardine is more like a indy car sound, while the Barker is more of a Nascar sound. Deeper, but still loud. So here ya go, I will give some more impressions once I am able to ride it some more. Hopefully this weekend. Not sure how to embed it on here, copying the embed link on youtube didnt work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cF3qOd8J8MA (Message edited by jornum1 on March 04, 2010) | ||

Nice, seems pretty loud? Your impressions on a quiet core being necessary for street use? | ||

Excellent - I can't believe how far away you can still hear it! Sounds fantastic - I think mine shipped today  | ||

Thanks for posting this, I think it sounds pretty good. I think I'll wait to hear it with the quiet core before I purchase one... | ||

Sounds pretty good, little bit of popping, but definitely better than a Jardine. Little bit higher pitched than mine, but the diameter is a little smaller I think. Nice spools. You need to do a tank mounted video, loft the front end a few times maybe. Otherwise, very nice! Watch out for wheel spin where you are, I got some of that last night leaving work. I actually got a bit sideways in 3rd gear, the tires were still cold. Did you get a baseline for your stock setup prior to installing this one? | ||

Awesome video, i wish everyone did a video that was this conclusive, cant wait to hear the Quiet core. Sounds Good. | ||

While it is loud, I think my camera throws the perception off a bit. I should have left the clips of cars passing by and how loud they sounded. I did not do a baseline with the stocker. It was raining yesterday, and I coudnt resist installing it as soon as the UPS man dropped it off  . It takes 5 minutes to swap it back, maybe I will throw it back on for quick fly by or two. Oh and I love the spools, they work awesome! I do have a vholdr hd for the on bike riding, but all you hear is wind noise. Is the quiet core necessary for street riding? Well thats subjective. For me, I think it is. I will be using the quiet core for everyday, and removing it for our mountain runs and track days. Thats one of the main reasons I went with this setup. } | ||

jornum how loud is the bike compared to stock and other exhaust? | ||
| Jornum1 |
Jones, I wrote in my first post about the sound compared to the Jardine. That is the only one I have 1st hand knowledge of. It is still much louder then stock, but not over the top. But exhaust note is so subjective, whats loud to me, might not be as loud to you. | ||

Also, I forgot to mention.... The first pass coming back towards the camera was at a stead 5500 rpm in second. The 2nd pass coming back towards the camera was at about 9500 rpm, I believe in 2nd as well. The third pass coming back towards the camera was from cruising to a full acceleration. And a little rev limiter oops I also did a full decel in one of the last passes coming from the left. I tried to go through as much as I could before the residents called the cops! | ||

Thanks, it was a great sound clip i wish more were done in that fashion, so that you could hear the exhaust in different RPM ranges. Very nice job on the sound clip and thanks | ||

My pleasure, maybe I will inspire more people to do it. It took maybe a hour of my time total. Thats with editing and uploading the vid too. If anyone is in the North Jersey area, I would be happy to make a clip of any aftermarket pipes. | ||

Sounds good, good video.  | ||

When I get my D_Adams pipe, we will have to do a side by side | ||
| Jornum1 |
sounds like a plan. The more info we have the better. I know a guy who has a torque hammer as well. | ||

I think it sounds great. It only seemed really loud to me when you get on it good. It seems like you can avoid annoying the neighbors with a little throttle modulation. | ||
| D_adams |
Why wasn't the front end up off the ground or the rear wheel stepping sideways?  | ||
| Jornum1 |
Well like you said I was trying hard not to dump her on camera! So it was a gradual acceleration and held it at that rpm. Knowing my luck I would go down trying to wheelie on film! | ||

I have to dig my bike out of the trailer today so I can get my ehaust installed! |
