What happened to Rob's response?? Didn't he post a long reply to everyone's questions and say he WOULD send a pipe to Dave for an independent dyno? I'm curious to see a real test of it. Not that it makes too much of a difference. I can't justify a $1200 pipe. That's a lot of oil and tires! Call me cheap.

http://www.hillbillymotors.com/html/hpe_active_exhaust.html

Lets see, based on exchange rates, both are gonna cost about the same by the time I get them here...

Once again, too much choice...

Oh, I used alta vista babelfish for the translation...

Illustrations show partial unpolished pilot lot absorber.

HPE High Performane Exhaust/Tubistyle are considered as one of the renomiertesten exhaust system manufacturers of Italy. For example road and racing plants for Ferrari, Lamborghini or GM Corvette are manufactured there. Far one very high-quality plants among other things for Ducati. HPE offers now world-wide the first accessory exhaust system to those the Active Exhaust flap system developed by Erik Buell uses. Result is a very good torque process and an increased maximum performance. Julius Ilmberger accompanied the development of this plant and to it paid attention it in their total execution also the hard requirements of the running enterprise withstands. Like that the final pipe so led one putting on, also with Slickbereifung on the racing course, impossible is. The plant is manufactured and polished made of high-quality high-grade steel. The standard attachments are used, a mounting plate for the admission of the Motorspilers are present. The original course of the Active Exhaust of system is taken over, changes is not not necessary. The plant had a ABE and does not have to be registered into the registration papers.

All,
It would be great if we would support this site and those who invest their time and patience into maintaining it by refraining from encouraging the disingenuous marketing efforts of non-sponsors here. I know it's sometimes tough to put the wishes of others ahead of our own desires, but I am asking for that in this case based upon what I think is right, what is just, and what best serves the integrity of this board.

I am asking that all further discussion of the exhaust system in question die here and now.

Bubba was there 'proving' why the other mufflers weren't as good as the drummer, weak brackets (even though the customer support was there to deal with that)

I think if you search my posts you'll see that Jardines idea of customer support is skewed at best... I will totally admit that they finally made good, and their brackets are also now rock solid; but I still have a sour taste for how I was treated...

The Drummer boys were the only ones to put their $$$ where their mouth is.

Sorry about the mean face Trench... That was for Jardine, not you. I can't see your e-mail till tomorrow. I still have 24 hours left at work and the Government servers don't let us frequent Yahoo; but I can sit here all day LOL!

No offence taken... CB.

One of the constant 'plusses' of the drummer was the brackets were the Buell OEM brackets, so would last... Like no other manufacturer had the capability... We saw just one D&D failure (from memory) on the board, a coupe of Jardine failures and a Force bracket failure.

The force failure was a big issue... I still don't know if that one was rectified, but if it was it was a LONG time coming.

Over all, the Jardine failures were probably addressed in what they would call a timely fashion, being that to release a fix would have taken R&D time so any result there was bound to take time... Sorry CB, I'm not familiar with your case, so I wonder how they actually treated you bearing in mind the time needed to come up with a fix.

So I guess 'customer support' may have been the wrong term, cos lets face it, you need to feel like they are trying to make you, the customer, feel supported. (no sarcasm, that's how I really think).

Once again, I type too fast, sometimes fater than I think... ; ) It's the result of the last year in a desk job... I'm getting back into a workshop mid next year, though, so expect my posts to get shorter and the typo's to increase as I regress into a knuckle draggin moron who doesn't know his way around a computer enough to walk around the desk...

To spare the long detail...I was ready to go light a bag of burning poop on their doorstep. But in the end, the brackets are now rock solid, my damaged chin fairing was replaced by Jardine, and I still love the pipe. So, in the end I'm very happy and would recommend their product to anybody. I may have just fallen prey to a disgruntled employee which is another thing to consider...
