Just bought the CW GP slipon for my 1100evo(UPDATE)

[wannabfast]

the smaller outlet helps too, but that wedge in the front pushes the exhaust and noise into the muffler packing, which echoes in there and the exhaust just goes around, while the sound bounces all around in there, that design of the baffle is very thought out, the baffle on my sc-projects has a flat pieces there so it doesnt offer a smooth path for the exhaust to flow, imagine hitting a wall with a tomato vs slicing it with a knife

but the opening you have modified allows for the exhaust gases to flow towards the exit much easier as opposed to having to have the high pressure point in the center of the can

I haven't modded the silencer yet. And I'll tell you why.....

I lost one of the silencer screws that hold it in. I tightened the hell out of it but still lost one. Well, I came home from a ride one day and found that the endcap had blown a rivet. I called CW and it seems that because the screw that fell out is also used to secure the endcap that the rivets had to pull double time to keep the endcap in place which was now under more pressure as a result of the exhaust gasses hitting the insert.

They are having me mail in the exhaust for repair. In the meantime they mailed me a replacement screw but since then I blew out another rivet. So get some red loctite and secure those screws after you do the mod. I haven't mailed it out yet but when I do and it comes back repaired I'm going to drill holes all over the tube. I'll keep that metal strap at the end because thats what gives it that nice rumble tone and added backpressure.

How did this turn out?
It kind of worries me, even though cheaper, investing money on something which falls apart after a few miles.

I haven't mailed the pipe back yet. I'll update when its sorted.

Ok I mailed out my pipe last week. It took 6 days to reach Oregon and they fixed it and air mailed it back the same day(yesterday). It arrives tomorrow. Great service!

They said my rivets failed because it was accidentally assembled with aluminum rivets instead of stainless steel.

Good to know, I've been keeping an eye on mine and so far so good!  And that is a fast turnaround considering its across the whole country and back!

Comp werkes is A OK in my book!

For the trouble I scored a free fender elim kit(minus bolts) so I can take it to get powder coated and swap with my painted kit thats chipping.

Awesome, mine is getting chips too.  I wish CW would just sell a black one like their exhausts.  They obviously have the resources to do 10 different colors on their exhausts, why not the fender eliminator?

I mentioned that to them. They should offer a up charge just like the pipes

I don't see why they wouldn't, you would think it would increase revenue at the same time!

So if someone would order the exhaust today, which lottery ticket would it pick? Aluminum or steel rivets?
