I'm curious to see how the D&D sounds on the X1,
Anyone know were i can hear what it sounds like? I'm this close ---> <--- to getting the D&D just want to hear it first. I'm hearing that it's got some badass hp and some loud sound issues, i'd like to find out for myself.

It really doesn't do much for peak HP, but it will give you amazing gains in the midrange with the race ECM (where the X1s and FI S3s need the most help). I love mine, to the point that I'm putting one on Heather's M2, and I'd recommend it to anyone who can deal with the noise.

Speaking of noise, I really like the sound but it will wake the dead. Get on it around 4K and you'll have Harley guys with straight pipes turning their heads. At idle, it just sounds cool, at little loud but it sounds like it means business. (I started the stock M2 last week and my puppy didn't care. When I started mine, he ran head on into the door between the house and garage, pissed everywhere and took off down the street - I'm not making that up.) I don't really know how to describe the sound, so I'll try to put it this way - if you like loud (you have to like it, if you just tolerate loud this is too much), you'll love the sound.

Uwgriz, thanks for the input I'm looking for that low-mid range boost, don't care about high end, I'm not into that high speed i'm a torque junkie and love coming out of those tight corners with the front wheel of the ground.

99buellx1, will do

Halffast, ya i've heard that already I can't tell by that video how loud it really is. I guess I have to hear it Live. By that video, it really doesn't sound that loud to me

The video does it absolutely no justice. I don't know how to describe how loud it is. I guess all I can say is I can be heard from many blocks away. Since you're only in Indy, shoot me an email, maybe we can meet up and you can have a listen.

I guess the question is, when are you looking to buy a pipe?

Uwgriz, I am going to buy a pipe when I hear the D&D for myself just to make sure that it's not so loud that I can't stand it. But I think that it will be fine, I'm sure I will like it.

Kowpow225, Ya I'm Here In Sheridan your about 30min NW of me.
