I've only had my Buell TS3 (S3T, 3TS, whatever) for a month or so but during that time have welded three cracks in the exhaust pipes, reattached (welded)the muffler bracket once, and retightened the nuts on the manifold twice. Is there a better exhaust system than the Vance & Hines I'm currently using?

Thx, REK

YES! Supertrapp is good, D&D, heck.. White Brothers... My Supertrapp on My x-1 has lasted over 10k so far... no problems what so ever w/ the mounting..

Wileyco has lasted on my MaDeuece for about 15K -- great service, too, if needed

also, check out the Knowledge Vault regarding mounting, sequence of fastener tightening, and the like -- it's important to exhaust system lifespans, take it from one who's really good at replaciong exhaust studs!
