Luck of the Irish is on my side this time. It's usually Murphy's Law lurking around the corner waiting to club me when I'm not paying attention. I don't know anything about Gibson exhaust. If it sounds terrible, I'll replace the muffler with a Banks one. I love how the one in the Frontier sounds. It's stainless also, so it'll last a while. I have my fingers crossed that I don't get an email saying 'I'm sorry, but we can't sell you this product at this price.' |

Heck of a deal if it pans out. I had that on my X - it sounded a little ricey to me when I installed it, but sounded better the longer I ran it. Not sure if it was from the baffles in the muffler getting coated or what - but I only had it for a year or two. Something to watch out for - the muffler 'can' hangs down lower than the stock one. I ripped mine off on a log buried in some mud at Rausch Creek - folded it up real good. When installing it, try to get it tucked up there as far as possible. I ended up keeping the gibson Y-pipe and going custom. Portsmouth Lou's did a Y-back for me cheaper than buying another one |

I haven't received it yet. It is in shipping limbo somewhere between Amazon and FedEx. Amazon says if I haven't received it by Sunday, contact them for a resolution. I still have my fingers crossed. It would have cost me over $100 for the parts for the stock Y pipe replacement. I figure if that's all I get out of it in the end, I'm more than satisfied. I'll pull the part number off of the Banks muffler on my Frontier. I love how that sounds. XVTer, thanks for the input on the exhaust. Especially about making sure I tuck it up in as far as possible. I'd rather not pull the thing off on the trail. (Or anything really) |
