Title: Monster under seat exhaust straps Post by: muskrat on April 05, 2011, 07:51:27 PM Ok, I finally got tired of looking at the Termis sticking way past my tail chop so I lobbed-off 4 inches to match the rear of the frame. Much better IMO but now the straps kinda dwarf the looks of the smaller cans. I have the under tail exhaust. Does anyone know another manufacturer that makes single straps instead of the double straps that come with Termis?
Thanks. Title: Re: Monster under seat exhaust straps Post by: IZ on April 05, 2011, 08:00:06 PM Sorry..Arrow doesn't. I just checked.

Here's a pic for reference (http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq53/montey2005/dcf14d84.jpg) Title: Re: Monster under seat exhaust straps Post by: hackers2r on April 06, 2011, 01:37:10 AM Personally, I think they look fine.

You probably want the double strap to distribute the load, the Termi being CF and with all the vibes and all that. Have you considered blackening it? I painted mine satin black with Rustoleum and it is holding up well and not very noticeable.
Title: Re: Monster under seat exhaust straps Post by: muskrat on April 06, 2011, 06:51:37 AM Well I'm probably just going to have to live with it for a little while until I either find something or get used to it. ;)

Title: Re: Monster under seat exhaust straps Post by: muskrat on April 07, 2011, 11:09:54 AM lilmonster, it did a bit but nothing ridiculously loud. In fact, I think they sound sharper. I took 4 inches off.
Thanks Bergdoerfer. I do csorin. ;D (http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq53/montey2005/dd0f91a4.jpg) (http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq53/montey2005/IMG_0772.jpg) (http://i433.photobucket.com/albums/qq53/montey2005/IMG_0766.jpg) Title: Re: Monster under seat exhaust straps Post by: Howie on April 07, 2011, 10:08:57 PM Love the paint and tasty trimmings.
Title: Re: Monster under seat exhaust straps Post by: muskrat on April 08, 2011, 09:59:03 AM Thanks. Just need to powder coat the rear spring red and the rear sets will be done in black. I'm done after that but as is always the case I'll troll this board and find more useless bits that need to be accommodated. The cheapest mod so far has been to dye the belt covers black.
