Pretty pricey too. But, when you don't have the facilities or the talent; it really is a bargain...
That said: I shall wait to see how "it" holds up over time/miles. What concerns me is the front mount. It would be a bummer to purchase such a system only to have "it", or the header, crack.
in my opinion, the after market systems sound all more or less the same, since they all have the same shape. the only system i found completely different in sound is the Force for tubers. i have it on my S1 and his conical shape gives it a loud metallic sound, like a Dyna!!! and performance wise, is the only one that gave me a big improvement, i noticed the difference when i switched from V&H with race headers to the complete Force exhaust! the XB systems are all very similar in sound, but i've seen a bad ass system on Trojan Horse, very pricey, but complete of headers that might be a step up of the others. its name is Blaster V and this is the complete system on the bike...
I'm thinking about making one of my own out of the 11148 Magnaflow. Does anyone know how it compares to the Jardine pipe? I already have the Jardine, but I would like to find something with a deeper tone without going all out for a drummer. Money is tight and I want to keep my stocker for if I ever wanted to go back.
Yes a lot of work, as I repackaged the 'bomb' in the original housing. You can hear the different but only the most astute eye can see the can was modded.
