I had one and like the sound, not too loud-I switched to force which has since made me deafseemed really well built gave a little more power and looked good. I still snapped a header bolt so make sure you have the updated front support as I didn't...overall I liked it but went a different route. I only had for two years tho...

I've been running a CF Wileyco for about 35K miles -- I like it alot -- no problems whatsoever

nice tone, but I can *****-foot -- oops, can't type that -- kitty-foot? it out the driveway and not rattle the neighbors windwows

i think i decided to go with the 2.5" header and a supertrapp ID muffler instead of the wileyco. it looks like the newer version wileyco is similar to the new ST. im not sure if i like the way the wileyco bolts on to the adapter pipe (kind of like the old ST.)...
anyone have any pros/ cons for one over the other??

this guy has wileycos for a pretty decent price.

Anyone know it the "01-02" version would fit a '99? The Wileyco site has different applications, but the V&H all use the same part #. Anyone know what the difference is?

WileyCo updated the hanger and front end of their cans, the newer one requires the use of the updated Buell exhaust isolator Y-mount and regulator plate associated with it. I"m not sure what their web site says though.

I've got an updated WileyCo exhaust to replace my broken old-style one for the '00 M2 and I got a used Y-mount from someone on the site here, but I haven't had the time to put them on the bike yet so I don't know firsthand how well it'll all fit.

Bomber,
there was no p'footin' the old blown out one in my alley, rattled windows at 5am just a we bit. I always blamed it on the guy down the block saying he coasted down the hill before firing his up to avoid rattling his direct neighbors.
