Anyone looking to upgrade their exhaust should give Keda a look. The service provided by Dean Adams is not what you expect. He takes the time to help you anyway he can. Had to pass this on. | ||

Plus he doesn't have a day job and has nothing but time! Go ahead, order 5 of them!  | ||
| D_adams |
Ian. Stop it. Really. 5 of them at once? | ||

I've heard nothing but great things! And assuming I don't go bust in Vegas next week, I'll be sending Dean my stock exhaust and hope it comes back as a Muffled Thunder!  (Message edited by joseb on March 23, 2011) | ||

Aw come on Dean. You know you like the extra work load! | ||

The pipe rocks, the service is off the charts and he's a cool dude. And if you put a Keda Design pipe on your Buell you will most definitely get more life out of your front tire! 1st trackday with Keda Design RT-3 on my 1125CR is 3/28 at NJMP thunderbolt. I cant wait to get this thing on the track! (Message edited by 01lightning on March 23, 2011) | ||

I am awaiting my polished RT-2 from Dean, can't wait to rip my D&D off and sell it. | ||
| Father_of_an_era |
Bueller, you are going to love the RT2. This pipe is off the chain!!!! | ||

How does the MT1 sound? My bike already has enough power, I just want a better sound without it being crazy loud. Would that be a good option? | ||
| Froggy |
Bueller, I got the RT1 on my bike, come on over if you want to hear it! Xbniner, the MT1 is only mildly louder than stock, it still has the rattling sewing machine sound but it does sound quite a bit better than stock. It is a good compromise and I will be getting one for my R while leaving the RT1 on my CR. | ||
| Bueller_bjorn |
Hey Froggy, Might have to take you up on the offer the youtube videos don't do it justice. | ||
| Drhodes1970 |
Fed-ex just dropped off my RT-3. What a gorgeous pipe. Wow ! Thanx Dean. Cant wait to get it on. ECM should be here on Monday. | ||
| Pegasusrider |
Just got my RT-3 on. Awesome! Youtube videos definitely don't do it justice. Perfect tone, and loud but not obnoxious, I bought the quiet core in case it was too loud, doubt I'll end up using it. I'm in CT if anyone in the area wants to hear it. | ||
| D_adams |
Sorry I can't get them done faster, I know I like getting stuff sooner than 5 weeks after I order it. Glad you guys like them though, I'm pretty sure they were worth the wait. | ||
| D_adams |
For those of you wondering what's involved, here's a little bit of making some of the exhaust systems. I've left out a lot, measuring, cutting (too boring) stretching the stainless for a slip fit, welding a little, packing the silencer, then a completed unit. | ||
| Betzy |
Nice work Dean, would love to be closer and hang out in your shop and build magic | ||
| Father_of_an_era |
Nice! I would love to see more. Maybe how you roll the cans of each type of exhaust. Cool stuff. | ||
| Rex |
now sound from the pipes | ||
| D_adams |
http://www.youtube.com/user/deanadams1969 Either there or search for keda-design on youtube, there's a few out there. I got a gopro hd for xmas this year, so I'll be doing more videos this spring/summer. I kinda got to thinking about this after the fact, but the audio track I picked _probably_ wasn't the best one I could have used. Yeah, I like the song and the group, but I guess I could have used something that sounded a little less self centered. (Message edited by d_adams on March 28, 2011) | ||

Nice Dean! I like the music too...it might just fit!  Fit's me sometimes! | ||

Hey Dean, You may have posted this already, but have you checked the decibels levels on your pipes? Wondering how they all compare to stock. | ||
| D_adams |
I think Al said it was about 113 @ 4500 rpm from the shootout last year. | ||
| Fatherfrenchy |
Holy sh@#! I just installed my RT-4 with race ecm. Let me tell you that this seriously sounds pissed off! I have to say it is a bit loud but worth it. Dean your pipe is pure whoop ass. Thanks again. I will report back once I have a chance to clock some miles. Very excited...cant believe I waited this long. | ||
| Luisemilio25r |
D_adams: Is that hp increase on the RT4 only? And do you have another finish other than polish? maybe something in black? Thanks! | ||
| D_adams |
Luisemilio25r -- I know it has that increase on the RT-3, that's what it was tuned for. I will be taking mine to the dyno with the RT-4 possibly as early as tomorrow, weather permitting. I expect very similar results as compared to the RT-3 though. I don't have any other finishes available, but I've seen some that were ceramic coated and they didn't look too bad. I don't know anyone local for doing stuff like that, so it's not an option that's available from me. | ||
| Dosmie |
Luisemilio25r, Just a quick look turned these guys up. By the look of it, they should be able to help. Get one un-polished from Dean. http://www.elpasopowdercoating.com/ I am assuming that they are close to you.. | ||
| D_adams |
Sotp dyno says theres an increase in power over what I have had for the last 8 months. Trip to the dyno is planned for after work tonite. |
