buellXB is all about hawk performance.
but on here he is less than favorite.
i've heard them in person, and think they sound pretty good. (to me)
they have alot of volume without being raspy, tinny, sounding hollow, or anything bad

either way, jiardine sounds bad (to me) and has a way of falling apart.

I bought one, it was too loud for me. My ears were ringin(helmet on) I drove a round town one day w/out a helmet and it was fine. I am not comfortable riding w/out a helmet, so I traded a badwebber straight up for a stock pipe.

I run a Hawk with a stock air filter and ECM. I love it. Not too noisy. No fueling problems. No loss of low end torque. The only thing I have done to mine is put some reducer rings on the 2 outlet pipes, reducing them from 2" to 1.75". Adds a nice shiny radius lip to it. More bling than anything, but it did change the sound a little. Cant wait to map it in the spring.

ok thanks for the input. i really think im going to go with it. my jardine is making me feel embarrassed and i need something else. the sound is not a big deal to me compared to the performance and from what im hearing there not bad. i read alot that the guy randy will give you all the race maps for free, that are tuned for the pipe.
