Author Message   Gazoobla Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - 03:22 pm:        Will get the bike soon. What should I know about the valve in the 12's exhaust? Is it ok to run a pipe that does not have the valve, like a Jardine? I'm not looking to get more power, but don't want to lose any, and want a good sound. Thanks!

I still think it looks the best.   Sfinton Posted on Wednesday, February 25, 2009 - 08:47 pm:        I had a race pipe on before. Should be noticeably different in sound. Never heard a D&D in real life, just on youtube. I've always had a thing for loud bikes minus the cruiser/chopper part.   Jraice Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 05:31 pm:        Look into voodoo (although I just saw they are going out of business for a little over a month for family issues) or drummer. They have a system where you send them your exhaust and they modify it, and paint it etc... Gives you a good sound, lots more torque and power, less weight and maintains stock mounting setup for the pipe and chin spoiler. I think it was voodoo, drummer may be similar but one of them talked about having a pipe with good sound but not loud enough to get you in trouble with the law and one also had a quiter version of one of their pipes. Thats the route I am thinking I am going to take but I have not gotten a buell yet or done more intensive research. I can say I rev'd a stock XB12 a bit and its like a lawn mower, may be better at higher rev's or while moving but still you bought a pushrod v-twin, get the good sound to come along with it! A few minutes on youtube and you wont want that stock pipe...   Sfinton Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 06:30 pm:        Gazoobla... My bike is in Dayton, OH right now. Coming spring break I'll be doing some work and putting the d&d if you would like to hear. I know its a bit of a drive but I thought I would offer.   Boltrider Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 08:32 pm:        Gazoobla - The Special Ops version is a modified stock pipe that retains the valve. It's another good one to consider.   2008xb12scg Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 09:02 pm:        american sport bike has a exhaust shoot out with dyno runs and sound clips, very informative.   Paint_shaker Posted on Friday, February 27, 2009 - 09:41 pm:        The D&D is LOUD!   Buellmeister57 Posted on Saturday, February 28, 2009 - 08:05 am:        Hawk Performance is who I'll probably go with for my 09 Uly. http://home.windstream.net/hawk63/
