Don't waste your time/money. That thing is old news. I can't remember what the thread was around here, but to sum it up: the thing won't help your power, it is loud as *****... and not in a good way, just too loud, there are no maps for it, it'll melt your boots, and if you really want one, you could probably fabricate one for yourself in a day.

the exhaust slipped on and made the bike look as if it had no exhaust.

 

imnot really trippin about losing a couple of ponies my bike is fast enough ( I have a sprocket on it, and im not racing), and ive actually seen one and it did not sound too loud.

 

www.mcmcustom.com :hellobye It is called the "Mirage" Slip-On, and actually sounds pretty good. I'm not sure about the performance, but I know you have to repack it often...

i ran one on my bike for a while, it doesn't melt your boots or shoes. in fact i never felt the heat from it at all and i wear tennis shoes when i ride. there are no maps for it but it doens't rob power and if you need more power than your r1 already has then i envy your skills. as far as fabbing one, i suppose you could if you had a welder and you were skillfull at fabbing stuff, but i wasn't so i bought the pipe. it is loud, very loud, but not when you're tooling around town, more when you're on it...and then i suppose you could just wear earplugs. it was too loud for me after a while so put the stock exhaust back on. but it does look awesome and it sounds pretty damn good to me. it's really personal preference. i loved the way it looked and sounded, just not when i was practicing wheelies and trying to be quiet and not draw attention to myself.

 

I think it looks really trick. Different for sure.

 

hmm may pose

since the reason i want it is cause when i come down hard from a wheelie the stock pipe slips off, ot very often but just enough to bother me.

 

I actually saw an R1 with one of those at WSIR not too long ago, and thought to myself...hmmm, I've seen that advertised on ebay.....

 

Work on your landings....Damn.

 

I bet it would look tight if it was powder coated. or not so shiney

 

It does look real nice..

 

I think it looks awesome, especially the unobstructed view of the entire swingarm and rear wheel. For those who have seen or heard one, how loud is it?

 

I found the video and sound clips on their site, but I still wanted to hear opinions..

SETITOFF

 

i already replied and said how it is to run the pipe...look furthur up the post. i painted mine black to match the swingarm and frame of my bike. it looks alright but it was a rush job with spray paint. 408reckless, save yourself some money...it's gonna cost 245 or so on the site. i don't run mine anymore and i'm selling my bike, if you want the pipe cheap to try out let me know and we'll work something out.
p.s. work on your wheelies man...they've gotta be worse than mine to be knocking the pipe loose. :crash

 

My landings are clean

Wll my landings are smooth, the time that happens is when morons come up on a wheelie on front of me and bring it down right away. or when i see a cop and i slam it down. The landings arent that bad, i took the pipe apart one time (including headers) and i forgot to put a screw at the end of the headers whic supports the slip on, all that riding caused the inner mesh lining of the slip off to tear and thats why it comes off so easly


Well I saw the price and i think its ridiculous, id rather buy 4 used stock pipes for that price.

 

E-bay always has used pipes. I bought a 2002 take-off, and came good as new. I think I paid $65 including shipping.

 

I remember everyone trashing it several months ago, but doesn't it make the bike look sweet! I couldn't do a mod though that may take my ponies away! Check it out...

 

my friend made one for about 20 bucks, same exact deal as that one.:fact

big rip off another:fact

 

not again

 

Does it looes ponies or not, the site claims an increase in ponies, and shows a Dyno run. Now I realize anything can be printed to show whatever they want, however where is the claim of reduced horsepower coming from?

 

PM GNYHUF he has one and loves it, he says it doesn't lose power.
