best pipe for the money for a xb12r | ||

For the money? The Buell race kit. You get the pipe,filter and ecm for 589.46 The 12 race kit comes with the polished ceramic pipe. They look great. Other options, Jardine 261.86 very light weight pipe but has separate brackets for the chin spoiler, I don't care for separate brackets. D+D 536.36, loud! Great pipe and would be my choice Drummer, last one I got from Kevin was 500.00 without exchange. Great pipe that is a reworked stock pipe. With the Jardine,D+D or Drummer you should still get the filter and ECM Filter is 58.46 ECM 188.96 | ||

It is the Buell race filter, higher flow,cleanable,never needs replaced. Of course I sell all of this stuff too! 1-866-747-1651 ask for Dave in the sales dept. I'll be back at work on Tuesday if you want to talk about the choices. | ||

Ride Hard, Daves is talking about the race 'air' filter. It's a K&N air filter made for Buells/HD... Kevin | ||

There is also the issue of the sound of the pipe too...the Drummer tends to be lower in pitch (think Dual Sport SuperTrapp but louder). The others tend to have a drag pipes sound at a slightly higher pitch (think Top Fuell Dragster type raw sound). The other thing to consider is what RPMs you tend to ride in...the Race is better for higher RPMs (I had one for a short while) where I don't ride and the Drummer is better for lower RPMs where I do ride (ended up with a Drummer). I would suggest trying to hook up with someone in your area to get a listen first hand...otherwise you will spend a lot of money and effort trying different ones until you find the one you like. | ||

The Jardine, paid $220.00 and you still have your stock muffler for trips to the dealer. |
