new pipe is in and testing begins. over the next two weeks i'll do runs and test when time permits. the test will be with custom mapping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pkl_e8_Gfm0 (Message edited by xoptimizedrsx on November 13, 2008) | ||

Let's just hope it performs as good as it looks and sounds.  | ||

Is that the pipe in the video? | ||
| Tattoo72 |
Yes. But it is on xopti's bike. He is currently testing it and developing a fuel map for it. It will most likely be seeing some track time and possibly dyno time to find the true potential of this muffler mod. | ||

I like the idea of that pipe, but the 2008 ECM doesn't  | ||

My '08 likes my Special Ops just fine... shouldn't have a problem with this one. I am very keen on hearing the results for this design- seems like solid engineering theory and execution. Keep us posted. | ||
| Bartimus |
redbuell, do you have any decell popping with that pipe on your '08? | ||
| 03worc9r |
I am sure the pipe will do well! | ||

sounds great | ||
| Teddagreek |
Is twin/Dual loop the Idea there... Supposedly give you good top end with out sacrificing the bottom..  | ||
| Redbuelljunkie |
Sure, it pops occasionally on decel, but that's not uncommon even on stock bikes- you just hear it better with the sound chamber removed. Some like the "popping", some don't... it doesn't bother me. The significantly improved sound far outweighs any popping that may occur off-throttle. | ||

Watched video, yep, needs gas. | ||
| Tattoo72 |
The youtube video? What makes you say it needs gas? | ||

I had Opti's bike with this can installed on the track yesterday. It ran good, no decel popping whatsoever. It did feel like it needed more fuel, but I should note the ecm has not been mapped yet. Pipe should do fine for the street. | ||
| Tattoo72 |
Thank you for the positive feedback Paint_shaker. Needing fuel is a good sign. That means the muffler is flowing more than the stock one. More flow means more go! Glad to hear things went good at the track. (Message edited by tattoo72 on November 16, 2008) | ||

Fuel lamp was on. Mileage had just started so you could have run for a little while longer. Just something I noticed. See, I paid attention to your video. (Message edited by Iamarchangel on November 16, 2008) | ||

That's funny. I never noticed that in the video. I'm usually good for picking up on stuff like that. | ||

Voodoo can on an XB9S vs Spec Ops can on an XB12R. Roll on from 3000 RPM in 3rd gear. The 9 will hang with the 12 up to about 5500 RPM. The 12 then begins to ease ahead. Mike is still working on the map though. The Voodoo does have a little bit of a raspy sound to it, but it is definately quieter than the Spec Ops can. | ||

Sounds excellent. Any feedback on the midrange on a 12 with it installed? | ||
| Disposabuell |
nice looking pipe -- dig the end. | ||
| Boltrider |
Pipe sounds good!! | ||
| Tattoo72 |
Thanks. I plan on getting a drive by video soon. So people can get a true interpretation of what it sounds like. |
