So, instead, you'll just hang around for the right instant thing to come along?

I waited about 6 weeks.It would have been more but I kept bugging him.I know I was a pain in the a$$ but my bike was done and I couldnt wait anymore.The only thing that bugged me was when I bought em march 4th,I got no response or email saying it would be 2 months,that is the only reason I kept emailing.(ok,4 emails,total)Also I got no baffles with it??I am sure that was just a mistake.I will try without and if its too loud I will fab some or ask him about it.But they are sweet,so much lighter than my 4-4 341's.

If he makes a set for the 550, they are as good as sold. Baffles are for suckers.

HA HA that is a great pic.Put the exhaust on last nite,but alas after months of building and waiting to fire her up,I got a dead battery,and a charger that sux as well,cheap china crap,it really blows that we dont have manufacturing in this country anymore and we are forced to buy the Sh#t out there.Oh well,such is life.Check out the pipes on the bike.Couple of motorcycle buddies came over for beers to celebrate last nite,these guys have vintage BMW's,Duc's and Honda's,and they all agree that this is one sexy pipe.

the site says they come w/ removable baffles. and it looks a lil longer than the ones on his bikes?

I was considering buying the same, but I am now thinkin of just gettin mufflers for my 4-2. not because I don't like it, but to save $ and cuz my gf likes 4-2's way better.

it does look #$%*in raw like that!

I have the CycleX exhaust and have only run my engine for a few seconds but it sounded nice with the baffle in... when I get it running better i'll have to remove it and see how it sounds.

Good looking exhaust, I wonder who Carpy has make them, and how much his markup is.

Call me odd man out....

I don't like them at all.  I mean... they look great on a bike... but they seem.... I dunno.

Kinda plain???

I hope that makes sense. I am totally not bashing your scoot.

Nice pipes!  If you are lucky High Temp clear will keep your pipes looking good for a season of riding.  With such nice pieces in new condition I would have them professionally coated . . . . .

I have had a couple pipes with no baffles... I may be getting too old and though the sound was sweet it was just WAY to loud to be responsible and I like long rides with conversation at the end...lol. But to each his own.

Looks great, where is the video???

I would settle for a "soundio"!
