It is a danmoto carbon GP. it has a few scratches on it but otherwise is in fair condition he said it is a fairly loud cheapo he got on amazon. I said "fairly loud is OK, THANKS!" (not sure what he has now but it sounds GREAT!)
installation is straight forward although the midpipe would not go on my collector. I went and borrowed a pipe expander and finally after lubing, wiggling, and tapping with a rubber mallet and a 2x4 got it on and luckily it was oriented correctly or no way I could turn it without a strap wrench once on. His is an 07 while mine is a 13. could my header be thicker? Anyway it is on.
Well I wondered why he just gave it to me but one does not look a gift horse in the mouth.
IT IS SO LOUD!!!!!!!!!! I rode for an hour last night and came home with a headache. Ordered the baffle from danmoto this morning. They say it will drop the dB by 4. I hope this is enough so I can enjoy my bike again without wearing earplugs.
I called my pal this morning and he laughed and said "Yeah, that is why I gave it to ya" and "told you it might be a bit loud for some"
I left the cat in the collector thank God. I am sure that helps a bit. also do not have a power commander. Bike ran good and sounds great, deep low tone at idle and a howl that would wake the dead up in the RPMs, just too loud. I did not notice too much different in the lower RPM without the exup and really nothing on the top end either. that is fine, this bike is so much faster than my old R6.
Will let y'all know how it goes with the baffle. (Is a Baffle same as a dB killer?)
If this does not work out I will ask him what he has and buy that one down the road.
It's dirty rode in the rain a bit and have not cleaned it.
