Called and email and no calls back

Mark answered my e-mail a couple weeks ago (similar situation). If you check his last posts you can see he was out sick and trying to catch up now with orders. We just have to be a little patient.  :)

Mark was indeed sick for about a month and has been absent even from our nearly weekly emails about custom projects and such...

But, on a good note... He's back and nearly up to speed.  I'm sure he'll be posting here soon with a more-than-detailed account of his life for the past few months...

I've always had very good email exchanges with him. If he's not replying it's probably because he's close to being on his death bed.

The problem was you ordered in Fedruary.  Not likely you'll ever get them.   :P

Just kidding.  Real answer, see posts above.

I've been waiting about the same amount of time, but have been lucky enough to get through a few times with email. Mark was really ill, he had some illness in the family, and some vendor issues. I heard from him yesterday and it sounded like he's doing OK and has a bead on getting things flowing again. He'll probably catch up with you soon and hopefully you'll have your tubes in no time.

Worth the wait!  I promise.

THANKS IT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LONG TIME TOO ME. BUT MARK SEEMS LIKE HE WHATS IT PERFECT .I JUST LIKE FASTER CALL BACKS AND EMAILS . I DO HEATING AND COOLING WHEN I GET A CALL. I HAVE TO CALL BACK ASAP OR I WOULD STARVE SO IT MOST JUST BE ME

sHIFT RIGHT

Can't remember how long exactly it took but it was a long while before I got them. Had to send them back cause fitment was messed up which took another two months or so. Everyone raves about him because he is a good guy and stands by his word and his products. Something I didn't keep in mind when I ordered mine is that these are quality custom made exhaust that are made and not an off the shelf from any vender. So at times it was a bit frustrating for me when it was taking long or not fitting right. Worth the wait in the end I think so, S*** still puts a big smile on my face everytime I start the machine.     

Hell, I had more trouble getting my old Termis to fit.  When Mark was finished with mine, they fit perfectly.  The custom tips he made for me stacked with only a 1/4 inch of gap and sit within 1 inch of the back wheel.  How he made them fit as well as he did without my bike is beyond me.

Here nor there, though.  Waiting for or fight fitment issues is frustrating, no matter what part it is.

Freakin sweet looking! :)

so is this just put on and go or is there some fuel injectio nadjustment?Low end mid range top end? Issues? I am a flogger, in other words I bounce of the rev limiter all the time in gears 1 thru 6, so is this a true bolt on or do we have to screw with it?PC3 or anything?

I was looking into different options on power commanders, etc, but in talking to the tech at the shop, he convinced me to run it by and let him "mess with it".  Whatever he did worked well.  Keep in mind, though, that my S2R800 wasn't and still isn't a real fireball.  But the rumble leads not Ducsters to believe otherwise.  I don't lie, but they can think what they want.  My general answer to the neverending question is, "It's faster then it needs to be."

Sounds like you need a Gixxer.

Mine still don't fit right even after I sent them back rear header hits the swinger but after the long wait I thought I would just deal with it. Almost no room between the swinger and the exhaust can't even fit my pinky in there and I have small carni hands  [moto].

Crap vid I made when I first got them notice the O2 bung which Mark was so kind as to fix for me after I posted this video and if you look closely you can see where the rear exhaust has been rubbing near the spring tab. Pretty sure its due to the front pipe being slightly longer than it needs to be eventually I will cut it down slightly for a better fit but other wise they are sweet. And I thought that when Mark was telling someone on here about the sound characteristics and why he chose a certain type of steal over others was BS. I couldn't have been more wrong, dude was on the money, they certainly do have a particular "ping" to them for sure.
