Hi I have seen the exhasut shoot out on the web but I was wondering about the Force exhaust for the my buell xb9s? Does anyone have anything to say about them?

thanks Nick

They break. They sound VERY awesome. They are LOUD. They are difficult to tune on a 12.

If it's a 2nd Gen pipe I would get it for a nine. If it's first gen I'd stay far away.

If you're looking at the TI Force system, with sectional header and all, we're using that on our XB12R race bike. Makes very good streetable power, nice and light, and sounds good. Not too loud, not the most quiet system either, but guttural.

No bottom end,
way too loud for me, when riding with my pal with one I could not hear my bike when he was three bike lengths away,
extremely cheap, blew the o2 sensor and nut right off the pipe, seams all leaked, very thin material!

Just my personal experience with the pipe.

The only one I have seen and heard ( not sure of the model) was the loudest muffler I have ever heard. There was one on a 12 at Deals Gap last year and I swear you could hear him coming for miles!!!

Yup, the early ones are mean-loud, and cheap. Have one on my XB9Shark, looks cool, sounds wicked (snarly, crackly, akin to a top-fuel dragster) but had the front chin-mount crack (welded her up) then crack again and fall right off (thank God the sharp edges didn't blow-out my rear tire) and now I see a crack forming in one of the header pipes!!?! All within a couple hundred miles. Shite.

I'm debating getting coated stock headers and still getting some use out of the cool looking bottom 'mega-phone' or cutting all losses, and shelling out major dosh for the Micron Serpent system, which no one has anything bad to say 'bout.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A GOOD PCII(I) FUEL MAP FOR AN XB9 W/ THE EARLY FORCE PIPE, K&N filter, etc.?

Anyone, class?...Bueller?
