Hey people.. Got my new exhaust installed tonight.. 3 words: TOO DAMN NOISY!!
It sounds like a thumper (like an S40 or something)..
Will take pics tomorrow when I get home from work.. but yeah, my friend is gonna make up a silencer thingy that will get welded into the exhaust to improve back-pressure, and quieten it down a bit too..
..anyway, that's about it for now..

Well.. Here are the pictures
Um, how can a bike be too noisy? When purchasing mine (equiped with a scorpian pipe), I was told it was a safety feature!

After work I'll stop in at Hamilton Motorcycle Centre, and see what they have to say about it (ridiculously loud / how to quieten it down a bit, etc)
