Greetings, Well, I have had the Drummer SS installed for about 4-6 weeks now and here is the report. First of all the build quality is incredible! I work for an OEM. My office is above our AMA road race and motocross shops as well as our off-road race teams. I see unobtainium everyday! This muffler is equal to or better than anything that comes out of those shops! The component quality and attention to detail is a testimony to "pride in craftsmanship". I had a standard Drummer installed for 9 months before installing the SS. No comparison. The SS pulls right off idle. There is no little hesitation requiring feathering of the clutch. Start releasing the clutch and the bike pulls hard right off the line and pulls hard right up to the rev limiter. It's subtle. There is no "hit" at 5000rpm. The thing pulls hard and steady all the way. You get the impression you are not going as fast as you did with the original Drummer but just look at the speedo and you are flying. The lower fairing brackets are also of work of art that fit 100% perfect and they are heavy duty! $625 is a steal! The price point of the SS muffler should be at $925. Kevin, you out did yourself, "you da man"! Thanks for putting your heart and soul into a fantastic product. | ||

Now that the race ECM is getting scarce, what's going to happen with the pipe? | ||

I already have a race ECM. I'm not sure what others are going to do in the future. The aftermarket guys are pretty sharp. There are already "work arounds" available and I trust more are on the way. | ||

Kevin, Words really can't describe how much I like the Drummer. I wanted to make this post a lot sooner but I have been on a bunch of business travel and I have to go out of town again next week. It really cuts in to riding time! Anyway, I wasn't sure if I should install the muffler my bike or put it in my living room to look at! It is a work of art. Hey Buddy, thanks a million for an awesome "toy"! E. J. | ||

It's well known in the Piedmont that your quality is the Gold Standard (pretty.) I'm excited for you that your 'mad skills' are getting the recognition they deserve. Since I've got a semi-normal job these days I need to drop in on you again -- only problem is working on the far south side of Charlotte. G2 |
