Happened across a Hayabusa with D & D mufflers yesterday. sounded
great, restrained, deep, pretty much the sound I'm looking for for my
'05 FJR. Anyone able to comment on these? They appear not to have a
website. I did catch a rumble on the FJR Owners Ass. that they may have
early rust issues?
Another issue is the extension pipes from the headers to the mufflers.
Built-in on the stock cans, I see that several manufacturers provide
these extension tubes with their mufflers (Holeshot, Staintune,
Blueflame) but do not appear to sell them separately, making it harder
to spec another aftermarket silencer. Please correct me if I am wrong.
I personally get no help at all from the demo mp3 clips provided
variously. Re the Dale Walker Holeshots, there are strong claims on his
website regarding HP improvements, but the mufflers appear smaller in
diameter than any others, and I am afraid that a pipe-sized
straight-thru passage, surrounded by fiberglass dampening would prove
too loud for my tastes. The same with Two Bros-I own them and, while
fun on my SuperHawk V-twin sportbike, they would be far too loud for
touring.
I like the idea of buying domestic, for price and because I don't
believe anyone outside the US has better research or engineering
facilities. Would appreciate any feedback on these issues, winter draws
nigh.
