Just ordered from [email protected], will post full review upon installation. I originally ordered the Leo Vince gp corsa from him, to be told it was out of stock for two weeks. I aske d if there were any other slip on pipes in the same price range, so he offered me a discount on the big gun. I jumped on it, partly because it is a new exhaust that no one has reviewed yet. Just doing my part for a helpful forum I have lurked on for a long time.

Arrived today. I'll install after work and put up a quick write up tonight. I'll put up the videos some time this weekend, along with a more detailed review. So sick of lame videos and "its hella fast sounds good buy it now!" Reviews

INSTALLED!!!

Put simply, I really like it. It was well packaged, light considering it's size (roughly 17" from inlet to end of tip.) Welds are nice, sharp edges nonexistant. Finish is even, a very nice semi-gloss. It does NOT come with a DB killer. That being said, I could see many people (Ferrari) not liking it. You can see through this can, with a slightly larger than 1" inner diameter. It is loud. Not open header loud, but not much quieter. About on par volume wise with the GP Corsa from what I have heard of it. I would say BARELY quieter than the GP Corsa without DB killer. With THAT being said, IMO the sound is MUCH better. Jmia, It might be right up your alley. Picture a CRF450 with an MX pipe. Pretty much paints the picture. To those who haven't heard that, It sounds vaguely Harley Davidson at idle (Bass), Dirtbike-ish when given throttle (Barks), and deceleration is PERFECT. Like, Burbling corvette perfect. Words do not describe. Performance wise, I was quite impressed for a slip-on being my sole performance upgrade. Power delivery was improved significantly in the low range, mid range improved, with the sweet spot being between 5-8k RPMs, and power did not drop off above that. I can now pull 6th at freeway speeds with my wife on the back without losing speed, and our cruising speed up a decent incline was +-80 MPH, with a little bit of throttle to spare. I am very happy with it, I LOVE the pipe, but once again, It's pretty ******************** loud.

I'm in socal, same story here. I passed a local pd cruiser this morning, no troubles. I would strongly recommend shortshifting, and refrain from going WOT! Somewhat tame when riding as described. Although... started it up outside applebees. Heads swivel. Grown men crack huge smiles. While all eyes look to identify the beautiful noises, most folks walking around did not disapprove. A guy parked next to was positively shocked to discover it was "only" a 250. I may or may not have enjoyed these types of encounters.
