Are there any badwebbers with a review for the force system? Any oppinion at all would be helpfull. Noise ,quality of construction , power (orlackof), overall satisfaction of owners. thanks fro your input.

I see u have a 9 no ideal on that, Have one on a 12 using stock header for like 2 years now.. A small flat spot No big deal, Over them revs most of the time anyways... :-) As Loud as there is I guess except for an open Header... Had many Exhaust cans none come close to the Raw Loudness of the Force.... Even A Beson has no comparison...Maybe on top end though...

Lots Of top end power, Heck power every wheres...Construction you best weld up the mounts (front ) ....There ya go abit of feedback for ya... Now all this depends on which Generation of force you are talking about, there has been changes I think..

as in wake the entire neighborhood loud. it is basically a straight pipe for the most part. they are more of a top end pipe. and atleast in stock form i have heard that they crack after a while.

The newer ones have the spring-loaded slip joints which greatly reduce the cracking seen on the older 1-piece headers. (pics from Force website)

OK ,the one i was looking at is the one piece design . And welding a cracked pipe all the time does not sound fun . If hte price is good when i talk to them I may still go for it . but wake the whole neiborhood is no good so most likely i will pass.

did we even start my bike the other day when you were here? dont think we did. well doesnt matter, it has a different exhaust on it since then anyway. now the 9 and the 12 both have drummers.

what are you looking for?

That pipe does look light compared to others.

That's why the early ones broke up, it was too light to take the shake.

I would eventually like to get a better sound ( a little louder ) and power , or at least keep the power i have . I am still a poor college student and cant really spend to much. Just looking, really saw a decent deal, and just doing some asking around. again just lookin around

YEP! (wasn't paying attention) - I was lifting from the Force site without reading - but it does show the difference between the 1-piece (looks similar) and the spring-connected pipes.

The older XB 1-piece pipes are no longer made apparently (good thing too) - they did tend to self-destruct.

The Force pipes are notoriously loud. Not a good thing in my choosing, but some people like that kinda thing in a pipe.

The pic above of the multiple-piece, spring-connected exhaust IS the current production.

My Beson is nasty-loud and even at the racetrack, I'm told that I'll have to put on a quieter pipe... and the Force can be louder still. It's been repaired twice now. I'll probably go with some other pipe the next time it breaks.
