Thanks Ray. Good stuff.

Have you test ridden an XB12 yet? :]

Why does the EPA make the manufactures go through these paces when most individuals replace the pipe when buying a new bike?

I suspect most people don't replace the pipes after buying a new bike. I would bet that even the majority of Harley riders don't upgrade to new pipes. I could be wrong tho.

I would say 4 out of 5 do upgrade.

That's why they call it "The Tax"

Hey, cool! I'm one out of five.(Actually, I'm a whole lot more rare than that) I love quiet. I really like the new exhaust on the XB12. If I get one(XB), the aftermarket will have to find another way to suck the money from my wallet. (like good Hard Bags, or somethin')

Crusty, gotta agree with you on the XB12 exhaust. I dont see why anyone would spend the $$$ to gain almost nothing except more noise. The stock muffler works & allows you to have a bit more fun without attracting the cops.

Stealth mode when pushing the envelope on the road is a good thing. Saves on tickets and bullet holes.

Then again, a Buell without a rumble never fully develops its character. Catch 22...
