I had to hassle with this dude on the phone to finally agree on a price. When I went down to meet him and his wife, I got there and the wife comes up to me and introduced herself. Her "husband" came up to me and was like Heyuhh I'm not really her husban he's in Iraq:no Fist thing I said was "Does he know your're selling it:dunno She said yes so I bought it. Hope homey knew she was selling it! :lol Moral of the story? Get a special power of attorney not a general when you are deploying!

boy having that stealth pipe really made a big difference in appearance. The black scheme is actually perfect for this model R1. I use to have the 2002 Silver and although the silver was nice.. this black really holds up a unique feel. I'll tell you what, this design just like the 04 are aging very gracefully and are just stunning to look at. The little things you do to a bike makes a world of a difference.

Are you pleased with the sound of the stealth exhaust? in all ranges?

How the hell do we vote ?

I don't think you do....I believe the Admins make the selection? :dunno

Are you pleased with the sound of the stealth exhaust? in all ranges? Hell yes:sneaky

nice and clean. everytime i see one of the 03 LEs i miss mine more. i'm going to find another one someday.

Looks :epimp bro!!!

Clean. Looks great!

Very nice indeed.

I too had an 03 flame. IMO one of the best looking stock bikes ever made. Take good care of her.

Looks clean man

looks good

Looks beautiful man.... I love how the stealth system really cleans up the bike....exactly why I did my boz...plus the scream she makes above 4k

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Now that's a good lookin' motorcycle, no doubt. :fact

Love the bike man, makes me wish my '03 was a black one!

Thanks bro.

Ahh that's where it's from. Thanks bro

Does anyone have a link to these stealth exhausts?? I currently have a D&D can and would like to change. How loud would it be compared to the pipe that I have now? I have had exup valve issues so I have wired it open, thus making the D&D even louder! Thanks in advance. Magee

I just switched mine over about 3 weeks ago because I loved the look, and it did look great and sounded killer too. The only problem was I lost a ton of power in all ranges and I could get past that! Put the ol Akra back on.

Not completely true. Dyno results pulled from the MCM (http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100536) thread. My stock are 139.09 and with a k&n filter / V stacks / Ackra slip on I'm getting 143.38. With the MCM / Filter / Stacks I'm getting 145.27 All figure are taken from 11K rpm. All dyno are run on the same machine as but on a different day for the MCM dyno. Stock and Ackra dyno are run on the same day. Thanks Michael

It sounds like not even mapping it will make the power up! I will just keep saving for the full system(hard to find good used ones) Magee

When I get to the Gap this year it will be dyno tuned with my new V stacks and block off plugs. We'll see how much it puts down. Right now I have 136.5 with it.

is the gap even worth it anymore? I saw a vid on u-tube, there was about 17 cops on the way down and they're giving tickets just for streching your legs. I saw another vid of all of the trucks that cross over lanes in blind corners. yikes.

Yes I am sure it's still worth it.

There are tons of other rides to go on and roads to explore. :fact

nice, i like the stealth exhaust.....is it really loud??

Well it isn't quiet lol

Bump for a new old pic :thumbup

same here... awesome bike.. btw is that a MCM pipe??? and i cant seem to figure out wats under the shock? is that a lowering kit installed...? Thanks! No it is a custom made "Stealth Pipe" Not sure what you're talking about under the shock. The bike isn't lowered, WHAT A P.O.S.!!! :lol :lol Just kidding bro!! I loved my 03!! :rock :finger:thumbup Thanks Bri!

That is a verdy, verdy nice bonk you have there sir:thumbup

That is a verdy, verdy nice bonk you have there sir:thumbup Why thanks you!

When I get to the Gap this year it will be dyno tuned with my new V stacks and block off plugs. We'll see how much it puts down. Right now I have 136.5 with it. You're only getting 136.5?? You got stacks? I've got K&N, akropovic slipon, stacks, PCIII tuned and i'm pulling 147.9 EDIT:: just read you didn't have stacks yet... but I can't see stacks giving 11hp really.

Whats up Dave!? Oh you know a little of this a little of that. Keri moved in, and we got the house all situated. I'm still working on living with a nurse... the hours SUCK. Been stressed cause seems like she just dropped off 3 kids and said ok... seeya... but monday she gets off the 2pm-12pm shift and works the 11pm to 7 am shift so I'll see her more! Either way, we are trying to make it this year to the convention. Think maybe just James and I might come Thurs-Sun but we are playing by $$$.. I mean ear!:fact

I'm sure I'm not gaining with my exhaust.

that bike is sick! The flames on there a so nice, simple one color with a nice amount of detail. I've love the way those 03 le's look but when I finnaly bought mine I had to have an 04 or up.

Appreciate it.

clean bike mang; how many miles do you have on her now?? :thumbup

clean bike mang; how many miles do you have on her now?? :thumbup O about 13k With two 6 month deployments and various 1-2 month workups in between.

Oh you know a little of this a little of that. Keri moved in, and we got the house all situated. I'm still working on living with a nurse... nice...too funny...my name is dave with a similar ride and both my parents are nurses and I work in the health care industry...too funny... Just a shout out to a fellow dave with common interests... :)

Really clean... such a nice silhouette. 5 spoke and GP style exhaust, with the black is legit. Right on Brandon!! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/lo1dakota/Bike002.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/lo1dakota/Bike003.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v494/lo1dakota/Bike004.jpg Year: 2003 Model: YZF-R1 Eng size: 999cc Pipes: Stealth Seat: Targa Solo Wheels: Dymag Cast Magnesium Accessories: Scorpio alarm, 520 conversion, hotbodies undertail, PCIII, and BMC race filter And the story: When I went to buy this bike, it was the only 03 LE within almost a 1000 miles (not Jokoing).

So what's the consensus on the exhaust? It looks sweet but do you loose much HP? I have a blue 03 and would love to do a short. I cut my stock pipe in half because i don't like the long pipes on the side. I have never checked to see how much mine puts out after i cut it.

Thanks man. I am reading the thread on the Stealth Pipe right now. So you guys have basically figured out how to create a MCM pipe from scratch a whole lot cheaper? Is anyone in the forum making and selling them? I would be interested instead of blowing all that money on a MCM. Or if someone has a MCM for sale. Dave

Bronchound made mine, but it's stupid easy to make.

Yo Devil where did you get the footpeg to replace the stock one that held the pipe as well?

Responded in your thread.

I cut my stock pipe in half because i don't like the long pipes on the side. I have never checked to see how much mine puts out after i cut it. @ 3 hp gain from stock, slight loss from my Yosh pipe. The MCM is a nice add on. I bought mine pre owned, but I wouldnt have a problem spending the money on one new, with MCM, I think its cool that a small hands on vendor exist, and its not bad product, regardless of whether it can be copied or not.

Like DD said I'm sure it's not a bad product and he can attest as he has one. My only thing is that I'm just not a chrome person. So the stealth was more my speed.

Yeah i agree i like the black as well. Its to bad they dont make one in black. I think i might get one though unless you feel like making me a black one :-). Dave

How did you modify the footpeg? Did you repaint it?

So, I just picked up my 03' LE about a week ago. I had no idea I was buying such an exclusive bike. I LOVE it though. Looks so amazing! Anyway, forgive my ignorance but what is the purpose of the baffle? The previous owner removed his Yosh exhaust, and the bike now only has it's headers and mid pipe. He and I both prefer the sound this way. I'm wondering if the baffle provides some sort of back pressure, whatever little it may be, or if it's just there to reduce sound? I'm bout to head to Walmart and then to autozone to pick up some supplys. I'm gonna get a 45* down pipe, and some high temp matte black paint to paint it up.

Yeah the baffle creates backpressure and muffles the sound...slightly lol

Well, it's been without a baffle/muffler for this long, might as well leave it out anyway.

Hmm, Well, I went up to Autozone and got a couple of tips. I believe the mid pipe on the 03' R1 is 2 1/2'' OD, the biggest turn down I could find was 2 1/4'' ID. But, a 2'' ID turn down fits perfectly inside of the stock mid pipe. I wonder if this would suffice, creating just enough back pressure, less the baffle...? I'm gonna run back to Autozone and return all but the 2'' ID pipe. Then I'll try and find a 2 1/2'' ID pipe at the same time.

Like DD said I'm sure it's not a bad product and he can attest as he has one. My only thing is that I'm just not a chrome person. So the stealth was more my speed. I'm pulling mine and getting refinished, as a matter of fact...

I'm pulling mine and getting refinished, as a matter of fact... Black?

i have to know ..... whats up with the stealth pipe ??? is it just straight piped with no muffler? is there a tiny muffler in there ? does it affect your performance? thanks

There is a baffle and packing inside it.

Sweet bike!:thumbup

Sweet bike!:thumbup Thank you :thumbup

New Pics or :banned: :fact

Very nice. Always have loved that particular paint scheme.

Thank bro

Pics assmonkey!!! :rant

SWEET!....yes the le's rule,but i am biased!...i was using just an open turn down with no baffles,it seems to me the exup provides all the back pressure anyway,right? My friends that i ride with were not amused by how loud it gets but i liked it!Concern about cops made me switch back to the akro,but i cut it down to 1/3 its original length so its not too invasive...:crash

Bike looks great!!! Maybe black rearset's and passenger pegs would be cool too.

Passenger pegs are gone now. But black rearsets are ON my list. I

I like the wheels! What did you have to put along with the exhaust setup for back pressure??? I put just a straight pipe tip on my bike for a couple days till it fell off, but I've heard its bad for the valves, and I've also heard its fine....HMMM...

Search MCM on the forum. You'll see the thread about making them.

Hey Man...best looking 02/03 R1 I've seen yet....that Stealth exhaust looks amazing!! Nice nice work Bro!!! She is a Beauty!!!

Thank you very much :yesnod

Hey Man...best looking 02/03 R1 I've seen yet....that Stealth exhaust looks amazing!! Nice nice work Bro!!! She is a Beauty!!! Ahhhhh, it's half ass. You should see it in person! :lol Hey Brandon. :hellobye

Thank you very much :yesnod Are you able to buy that exhaust some where....if so, where?? Or, did you make it yourself?? I searched google for it, but didn't find too much.

Ahhhhh, it's half ass. You should see it in person! :lol Hey Brandon. :hellobye :lol Thanks Goob! Are you able to buy that exhaust some where....if so, where?? Or, did you make it yourself?? I searched google for it, but didn't find too much. I had it made but I'ts really simple to make yourself.

Hey Devil....Where does one find that Stealth exhaust setup? Urmmm....and is it too loud? reasonable? bah....screw it if it's too loud....it looks hot! Lemme know....Oh and by the way sexy bike brotha from anutha mutha :)

pm me and ill give you all the info

I was either going to go MCM or the hotbodies undertail....i think I will go the MCM way. Looks bad azzzzzz!

:bow Bike looks :boobies :rock Brandon ! :hellobye

Thank Pierre!

My apologies Dev...After doing some digging i found all the info i needed. It's sometimes to easy to get all excited about something, and forget you have a brain. LOL I ordered one online, and it should be here witin 7-10 business days! The one i got has an adjustable baffle in it...Hopefully it will make tuning it simpler. I'm looking into some serious headers for it now.

Right on. Good luck with it! Post pics!!

I miss my 03 R6 SE with that paint job. You have a nice bike Brandon.:fact

Thanks James.

Nice bike - ride carefully everyone:thumbup

Thanks

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTT!!!!!!!! I just asked PBJ84 to make one for my 01'. Can you imagine what that will sound like with my 59mm velocity stacks????

badass bike

very tastefully done, another shining example of how sexy the 02/03 really can be with some well thought out mods :thumbup

Yeah, Brandon's bike is purdy.
