anyone give me some input on how the NRHS force exhaust is on the XB12R? I'm thinking of switching my buell race exhaust (all dented up). My bike currently has the race ecm,filter,open airbox and the race muffler. any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The pipe won't hold up to stunting. Buy another stock header.

Don't use the header. It's useless on a 12.

The "muffler" is VERY loud. I agree though, if you want a stunt pipe you'll be dissapointed. You'll crush it.

Thanks for the input. I thought the fore exhaust might give me a bit more ground clearance.

It would but its thin aluminum prone to cracking and you don't have to bottom out for it to crack,it just will in time all on its own. If ground clearance is what you want and durability The D&D is going to give you the most clearance. Sounds like though for what your doing with your bike the stock muffler is your cheapest route.... lots of them on Ebay to had cheap.

Will the D&D be fine to use with the race ECM & filter?
