I just got installing Odie's Special OPS pipe on my CityX and couldn't be happier. "Blue" now has a very fierce and wicked exhaust note. Sadly it is raining today but I can't wait to take my little 984 cc Buell for a ride. My wife says this is good for the little bike's ego!

I'll give y'all the seat of the pants performance report tomorrow. Odie, it was a pleasure doing business with you!!!!

I love my Odie pipe. I told Odie that I wanted to be louder than my sons bike. He has a TL 1000R with twin Yosh's on it. We had an exhaust off once I got my pipe. The consensus was that his bike sounded nice and loud but was like Lou Rawls. Mine was louder and sounded like Leroy Brown

oh... seat of the pants performance review...

Bottom end and midrange feels the same, however the bike really comes alive after 4,500 RPM. Once I reach 4,500 RPM there is a sudden boost all the way to redline. Popping a wheelie from first to second is easy now.

There is some popping on decel and I had a lot of fun blipping the throttle after down shifts. The guy I was ridding with told me that it's not obnoxiously loud but for longer trips ear plugs are advisable.

Car alarms don't stand a chance... neither do people on cell phones that you pass.

Again I am very happy with this pipe, for the amount of money that I spent the fun meter went way up. Yes there are prettier pipes out there and perhaps some of them perform better, but I am not going to spend hundreds of dollars more to find out.
