Trying to get a exhaust as soon as possible where can I get the best price on one? My local dealer told me $440 I would love to be in the 300's

Call HMF, up around Cleveland, they will deal with you from my understanding, go pick it up yourself and save.

He wants an FMF not HMF, I got mine from Rdersdiscount.com for $363 over the winter. If you are a member of the WERA forums they give great discounts to the members.

Yes I am aware of him asking about the FMF, but he is not very far from HMF, and I thought maybe he would be interested in knowing this... Certainly drivable, and dealing with them direct will be beneficial cost wise, as I am told.

HMF/FMF/Jardine are all very similar in design and power output, the HMF was the higher of those 3 at about 134 hp or so. They all use a 2" midpipe if I'm not mistaken.

If you're after power, then you need either a Barker, Drummer or mine. I'll let you guess which one makes the most power of the last 3. Barker will win the "bang for the buck" argument every time though. I can't compete on Tim's level for pricing. The other drawback for mine is that I don't make them nearly as fast as everyone else.

Of course, if $$ isn't an issue, get the factory full system.

D adams money is the issue lol or I would be equipped with a RT4 exhaust!!! 440 on the FMF doesnt sound bad I just have bills that come first. Im trying to work a deal on a used RT3 but it might still be out of the budget

I try...

Sometimes I get it right.

This isn't official or anything, but assuming there are about 8000 of the 1125's out there, I have equipped about 1% of the market. Taking a step back to look at it that way, it's a little scary. Never thought I'd build this many, so I'd like to say "Thanks!" to those of you who bought one and patiently waited.

I have ridden with 1125's with the Jardine, Barkers, Drummer, D&D, HMF, FMF and Torque Hammer installed, I do not remember what tune they were all running, and my stock programmed ECM and stock exhaust performed just as well as all of them in the mountain's and turns.
The true dyno results, other than the drag strip, and a track day.

If you want loud, all of them were loud, except the Torque Hammer, not that bad.

I have a guy locally who has a Keda he wants to sell because he says it's too loud.

I may take him up on it, if he still has it when i have the money.

D_adams, you make the Keda?

Just from that post alone, I may pick up a new one. Honesty is tough to come by in the moto biz
