I have a APH on mine - and it sounds really ace, even better when going through tunnels or filtering through traffic. Dont know what the DB is but I dont really care. And the other plus's are 1 - other road use's know a bike is coming 2 - the build quality is top draw.

D Adams I have a 1125R 08 do you have a quiet core option or would you rate the KEDA about as loud as the Drummer?

Tmoreno- yes it will fit but take care when fitting mine had a problem with rubbing on the bottom of the engine case, nothing a prybar couldn't handle though. i love the sound of it, and the cloud of dust the tip kicks up.

Pgh_biker Yes, I have an optional insert, without it all but the RT-3 would be about the same as the Drummer or just a tiny bit louder but not a lot.

Dean - Will the RT-1 or RT-2 fit the Buell Bellypan?

I don't know for certain one way or the other. I do not have a pan to test fit on the bike. I haven't had any solid reports back on fitment issues as of yet. The shell measures 7" wide by 3.5" tall and is pretty well centered on the motor, I lined it up on the split in the cases or pretty close to it.

Turbowolf - A guy I follow on Youtube suggested I put a small ding in that area to allow it to fit and not rub the bottom of the engine case. Here is the Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OosENy9f-OE
The link also shows how to repack the barkers exhaust.

D Adams so you are saying the RT3 is the quietest one that you make, or is it the loudest? Does the insert fit it as well?

The RT-3 is the loudest and the insert I make fits all of them. It is also the one that will fit any bellypan since it is the smallest one.

Has anyone stateside bought a APH exhaust ?? They are very popular in the UK across the whole Buell range of bikes. Is it the conversion rate that puts you guys off ??

Deans work with the Keda range looks great aswell, but I don't like how they seem to hang down a bit low, the APH is the only one I've seen that looks like it's actually made for the bike.



Full stainless large oval can with turned outlet.

I have the Saron exhaust and live in California. And I can say yes the exchange rate does suck. I was new to Buell and had no idea there were exhaust here that were cheaper in comparison. If I had known I would have went with something like the Keda for sure. I dont worry about the sound level very much. And the Keda looks awesome

you need a keda pipe, period. They're the best pipe with the best power, and they look very nice. Fit and finish is top notch. I've a RT-3 and RT-2 and loved them both.

I got the Barker and I just put the 1" QC in it and I love it even more it's throaty and gets loud but sneaks right by the sound checks so far

Paul,

I installed my APH about one year ago.
