Yep, Trey put one on his S2R800 and the thing is WAY quiet.
I wouldn't change the Remus kit on that bike if I were you. That system sounds really sweet!!

Personally I think the Ex Box looks better on the single sided swing arm bikes and is kind of clunky looking on the double swing arm. I should have picked up the carbon can 2 into 1 systems when they were available and they were rare then. There was some controversy at the time with charts & graphs showing that the 2 valve engines lost a couple of HP with the 2 into 1. Given the fact that the engine already had the W heads I wasn't too keen on losing power considering all the dough I spent on carbs and a light flywheel. So the DP's stayed. The next best looking set up (IMO) that I've seen is to get two short, fat carbon cans that are a low mount fit. I may have pictures around somewhere but I'm pretty bad about that stuff. I'll see if I can dig them up but don't anyone hold their breath. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.

True, one of the ports was completely blocked off. BUT, my old S2R was really quiet as well when I pulled the silencers off and only ran the udder, and that is pretty much the same as the Exbox... |

The udder is a part of the exhaust system on the later monsters, the S*R series. It is where the catalytic converters are located on equipped models.

The Ex-Box is pretty quiet, and i have yet to remove the blocking plate from the upper exhaust port. i'm getting back to the island this evening, i'll pull it off this week and we'll see how it sounds at full song on sunday.
