Wow. thats a can of worms to open I like my D&Don my 9r. If you look at the shootout that American Sportbike did you'll see that there arent really any with much of a HP gain on a 12. Now for the many many differences of opinion.... (Message edited by vortec57 on August 14, 2009) | ||

Americansportbike.com they have an exhaust shoot out complete with sound clips, very good info. I imagiune it depends on what you want. I have a Drummer and couldn't be happier, others love the spec-ops... | ||

Okay, here's a few not-quite-as-common exhaust questions then: 1.) Most aftermarket exhausts do away with Buell's servo valve. Doesn't that hinder the bottom end? Seems like Buell went to a lot of trouble to figure that out just to scrap it...? 2.) The stock exhaust serves as a jack point. What do you use when you need to jack it up, if you're needing to work on the swingarm or forks? ~SM | ||

Sword, my Micron has more bottom end than the stock exhaust. While the valve also helps bottom end, it also was to help get around EPA testing. | ||

SM, 1) When I switched out my "S" exhaust with a servo for a Drummer without, I personally did not notice a reduction in the bottom/mid range. With this said; I personally am glad that I do not have a servo to go bad. The exhaust environment is a very hot and dirty environment, not one I consider suitable for longevity. 2 With a Drummer, the jack point is still available. | ||

made my own, sounds pretty good quiet at idle, more mid/top, and sounds like the SE pipes i had on my Nightster. | ||

I love my VooDoo! more power and sounds great! Valve stays intact on the 12. | ||

What about for a 9Sx? Mine has a stutter/flat spot right off idle, and no mods. Also, budget is an issue. | ||
| Froggy |
Did you do a home made breather/catch can yet? TPS reset too. (I think I told you that already?) | ||

Jardine is best for the money, but Micron is SSSSWWWEEEEET! | ||

Frogster- I think you spoke those words of wisdom to some other tadpole. Any suggestions on materials for a catch can or breather? As an import tuner (car scene) I know some "rice boys" just use a cheap K&N style filter clamped to a valve cover as a breather. (Dumb idea, unless you like oil sprayed all over your engine bay) | ||
| Froggy |
Do some searching, there is a handful of threads about doing it. Long story short, some rubber hose, a T fitting, and then various things can be used for a catch can including a 5hr energy drink bottle. Make sure it has a vent with filter.  | ||

Indeed, my wife and I flew out for a Halloween party there a year or two ago. What a great time. Before that my old college roomy got married there. Always wanted to ride from Boulder to Estes on the bike. |
