This is just a teaser for now and I will update and change the title accordingly tomorrow afternoon after UPS drops off the exhaust and I get it installed. It shouldn't take long since I got the bulk of the work done. But for now, enjoy the vid clip of the stock exhaust and NO exhaust. The camera I used was pretty old and the microphone didn't pick up as much as I wanted it to. The sound with no exhaust is LOUD LOUD LOUD in person. It actually sounds pretty good. The L-Twin sounds alive!! [moto]  PS- Don't laugh at my blue gloves. I like to keep my hands clean when I wrench.  The vid clips NOTE: IF THE VIDEO DOES NOT PLAY FOR YOU, PICK ANOTHER VIDEO QUALITY UNDERNEATH THE PLAYBACK CONTROL BAR (LQ, LQ+, HQ, HQ+) OR JUST DOUBLE CLICK ON THE VIDEO ITSELF TO BRING UP THE YOUTUBE PAGE.

This is common with embedded youtube vids. Just click on the YouTube logo in the lower right hand corner

Or just pick another video quality underneath the video. The HQ+ quality doesn't play for me. HQ and lower does. Weird.  |

Same here. I'm split between the carbons and the aluminum. |

I went with the carbons for two reasons. 1. Looks. The aluminum cans IMO stand out too much on the rear. 2. Sound. I've always heard that carbon canisters sound a bit deeper.
I ordered this exhaust blindly without hearing any (carbon) sound clips. We'll see tomorrow!
The pricing for the carbon version was super reasonable. I said why the hell not?

They are installed but not bolted down 100% for riding..so if they look crooked you know why. I ran into a slight problem. LV threw in the wrong length exhaust springs in the package. DOH! LVUSA is sending me the correct size. It was a known problem. A few slipped out of the Italian factory with 1.5" springs versus the necessary and required 1" exhaust springs. I did not also install the included carbon heat shields yet. I'm waiting until I get the springs in.. Here it is for now.. I'm uploading the sound clips now but GAWWWDAMN! They sound mean as hell!!! I don't think the camera will do the sound justice. It's boomy, deep, and loud! It's not over yet though. Once I get the spring in and install everything properly, I'll take better pictures.     |

Quick update: LVUSA just called me and gave me the tracking number for the springs. Now that's customer service.  Here are the sound clips. I'll try to get my hands on a better camera. Here's the usual disclaimer with the embedded vids I made before. NOTE: IF THE VIDEO DOES NOT PLAY FOR YOU, PICK ANOTHER VIDEO QUALITY UNDERNEATH THE PLAYBACK CONTROL BAR (LQ, LQ+, HQ, HQ+) OR JUST DOUBLE CLICK ON THE VIDEO ITSELF TO BRING UP THE YOUTUBE PAGE. The video clips DO NOT do the EvoII system any justice. It's 100% better in person and on par with the Termi system I have heard. I bet you on a blind sound test you couldn't tell the difference.

Those look and sound great man. Are the clips with the baffles in or out?
Did you order direct from LVUSA? MonsterParts has em for about 90$ cheaper, but not sure if theres a catch with that.
Looks like i'll be putting in my order tomorrow. Thanks again for putting these up.

The baffles are out. They were the first thing to go. I ordered them from Monsterparts. I paid $828 shipped. |
