I've been slowly customizing my K9 for the past two years, and always find great ideas on this forum. My dog came to me with V&H 2x2 exhaust and that was fine for a while; but I always knew that eventually I'd want to go a different direction. First off, the V&Hs are pretty common and I wanted to be different. Second, I wanted something LOUDER. Well, a while ago, I saw a photo of a K9 with an FSD Sinful exhaust. To my eye, it's the perfect exhaust for this bike, and from reading this forum, I knew it was loud. So I kept researching. Unfortunately, FSD does not exactly have an unblemished record online. Apparently, in years past they had backlog issues, overcommitted, and some guys got pretty pissed. (And rightfully so.) And damn the Sinfuls are NOT cheap, either. But there were some more recent positive testimonials too. So I called Frankie and talked to him a couple times. Talked about my bike... he said it would be a perfect fit. Talked about price... he offered a $75 discount to me as a member of this forum. Talked about lead time... he said the pipes were in stock and only had to be chromed; estimated they could ship in 2 weeks or so. So, I took the plunge.
Placed my order on March 11th. Well, it turns out there was a slight delay at the plater's; however, I did receive my pipes on April 10th. Less than a month lead time... not too bad.
My first impression was @#%$ these pipes are beautiful! Got them mounted up the next evening without any problems. I did use three exhaust gaskets on the back (short) pipe in order to get clearance from the sprocket cover. Man, they look great... and sound even better. With my old V&H pipes, the idle was 82 decibels loud. With the new FSDs, the idle is now at 92 decibels. And the sound is noticeably deeper and throatier. I'm happy.
So, I want to give a shout out to FSD Exhausts. :2thumbs: My experience with this order and their product has been positive so far.
