So I picked up a used Jardine GP-1 the other day. I was thinking about having it ceramic coated and get the preprogrammed Erik Buell Racing ECM. I will not be running a chin fairing. Should I go with this pipe or go another direction. I like loud, but also want it to look good without the chin | ||

I've got an RT-1 with the Erik Buell Racing Racing ECM and . . well. . feels awesome. There's a lot of guys that knock the Jardine, but its easy to rebuild/repack, lightweight, and I love the sound. | ||

I have an RT-1 with the QMI and a race mapped ECM. It runs great! I know the GP-1 has the longer outlet so idk if you can use (or need) the quite insert. My bike was setting off car alarms before I put it in. Also look at this for getting a little more performace out of the Jardine http://www.buellxb.com/Buell-XB-Forum/Do-It-Yourse lf-Buell-Mods/Jardine-Torque-Fix-Gatorbuell | ||

I actually decided to order a Drummer SS. So that means the Jardine will be for sale. Thanks for the info guys. | ||

Pm me, I know a guy that wants it. | ||

So if I understand this correctly, what is happening is they are making an adapter to allow the QMI insert to seal against the inlet pipe. I ma need to do this on the Jardine that I have sitting at home. Would be nice to drop the noise more but this might be decent enough. The funny thing about that thread is that no one ever took a picture looking down into the inlet. | ||

It is not a QMI, it is a reducer that increases back-pressure in the headers, which returns a lot of low end power and torque. The Jardine is a lot more free flowing than is good for the low RPM Buells. I just did this last night, I welded the reducer onto the end of the S-bend adapter that inserts into the front of the can. I should have taken a picture before I put the pipe back on :/ (Message edited by Blaylock1988 on June 28, 2011) | ||

Best looking pipe on the market...especially if running no chin fairing, hands down.  | ||

I know I cant wait to get it. | ||

Yep I have to agree, Kevin is a master craftsman, the SS drummer is pure artwork. I have owned 2 of them and would not trade them for anything. | ||

OK, I think I understand now. Is there a 304 stainless reducing coupler that I might look for? I don't want to put iron in there because it will rust quickly in contact with the stainless inlet. | ||

That is a very nice looking exhaust, I wish I had the money. The Jardine I have is only temporary until I can get a better exhaust. |
