Does anyone know what pipe would be similar to the race pipe. I don't want anything too loud and I don't want to void the warranty. |

The race pipe is the quietest non stock pipe that I have heard. Any non stock pipe has potential to void your warranty. |

If the added breathing from the exhaust can be traced as the cause for your failure (i.e. burned valve / lean condition), your warranty could be void. If you take the time to get it tuned right, or run a race ECM (available for '07 and earlier bikes), you should be just fine. I run a Drummer on mine, and it is a little boomier than a race can was. Jardine's are LOUD; SpecialOPS are about comparable to the Drummer. There are others out there, but these are the 3 most popular...nice thing about the Drummer and SpecialOPS is (are?), they're modified stock mufflers so you keep your jack points. |

A note about warranties. It is illegal for a manufacturer to void a warranty because you installed aftermarket parts, unless those parts caused the problem. See here for the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. That doesn't mean a dealer won't do it, but if they do, they are just looking for a reason to screw you over, in which case, you have larger issues to solve. I have a good dealer. They have never given me problems about stuff I install on the bike. If you're concerned that yours might, I would find the person at the dealership who makes those decisions, and talk to them about it. Just having that conversation makes you less of a faceless name, and will go a long way toward getting good service from them. |

I just wish that Buell would allow the original supplier to keep making the race pipe and sell them. Best thing I did with my 06 Uly was the race kit. Dennis |

I agree with Dennis 100%, same bike, same kit. Although, now, thanks to another badwebber I have a Drummer SS. Not much louder, like Ratbuell says a bit more boom and presence. |
