not here say, first hand. either your own or a friends that you have seen. many people on here have stated that they have had rivet problems or their can has blown apart as the packing has worn out. i realise not everyone has problems with them, but it seems there is a fair share that have. so i would like anyone that has had those problems to chime in and say what the problem is. i was having a discussion about this problem with some people and now is the time when i need to be able to give some examples since i am told i am only saying these things to promote a different version of my liking. if i am wrong, then i am wrong and will admit that what i thought was fact is not. dont make me do that though, lol.

wow, no one has had any experiances with a jardine? where did they all go... | ||
| Bartimus |
yea, where did they go? I posted, but now it's gone. I've had absolutely no problems with my Jardine on my XB9SX. 15,000 miles, and I just repacked it. Still going strong! | ||

No problems here...10k on a 2004 xb12r. Looks like it did when I got it...except black.  | ||

I have the aluminum Jardine, and I love the sound! No little baffle for me! hehe BUTTTTT!!!! For me the problem has been the "slip fit" does not "fit" so well. I had a little exhaust leak that turn into a bigger one.... so I am contemplating buying the TI-Force full exhaust system. Not sure if that is the greatest idea, and input is always welcome.

Let’s see if I can help, I've had nothing but problems with mine. I only have a couple of hundred miles on it, so the rivets have not backed out yet, but I have been emailing them about another issue. I got the aluminum one for my 9 and the muffler itself is fine, but the L pipe that goes from the muffler to the collector is a piece of crap. I had to grind the hell out of the mounting bracket and bend it, as well as drill out the hole, to get it to mount. Once everything was aligned and mounted, I fired it up and went for a short ride. The performance gains were noticeable and I was very pleased. That is until I also noticed that there was a serious exhaust leak at the point where the L pipe meets the collector. I made sure the pipe was seated as far up as it would go on the collector and varied how tight the clamp was, but none of it worked. I am baffled (I know... a muffler pun) that there is even enough back pressure in the muffler to force the exhaust out of anywhere else. My first email asking for them to send me a new L pipe was completely ignored, but I got a reply from the second one requesting pictures. I took pics of it mounted and detailed shots of it apart showing the inside of the pipe and the discoloration on the collector where the leak is. It has been about two weeks since that email and even though I sent another one yesterday asking what the status was, I have received no reply. So, now that I’m done venting, the point is that the set up was just not designed for the 9 (I checked and that is what your profile says you have) and will take modification to mount. Not only is the mounting bracket not set up for the 9, the quality of the pipe is sub-par. I do seem to be one of the few who has had the exhaust leak problem though. You also can’t jack up your bike from the muffler because it uses a new rear mounting bracket that is about as flimsy as aluminum foil. Plus, I don’t think the pipe itself could take the weight of the bike without being crushed. If I had it to do all over again, I would have spent a little more cash on another pipe that doesn’t require re-packing, and may have mounted without months of aggravation. | ||

So Cereal has the same exhaust leak problem I do... It's annoying isn't it? I've done absolutely everything I can think, and just about everything that has been suggested by other professionals... and I can't get the leak to tone down one bit! Also for those with runability issues after installing an exhaust please remember you need to have your TPS reset after you install that new exhaust! | ||

Hey W...chic. I sent you a PM with the email of the guy at Jardine. Anyone else want it? Shoot me a PM. Maybe if a few of us complain, they may actually do something about it. Kind of like the Firebolt headlights, right? (yes, that was sarcasm) |
