Came across Danmoto GP style exhausts on evilbay, have anyone heard of them or bought one before? It's for a 00 curvy.
The muffler is slimmer and should give a bit more ground clearence.
So cheap...... And my SV isn't the bike I use alot of cash on, I've got other gems to take care of the extra money my wife allows me to use on bikes.
And I don't need it for more hp, I need more ground clearance on my road/go-cart track bike, I don't like losing the rear(it's better then losing the front don't get me wrong), it's "stepping" out when the weight goes on the exhaust. Pegs are lifted close to 1" and I'm back on the original pegs, but I shortened them a inch. I'm also on 70 front tire, wich gave me a bit more ground clearence, I'm also thinking it's time to buy a set of dogbones, but I have no idea how much shorter I should go with them, have anyone swapped dogbones, any pointers?

Yes I knew it was chinese, and that isn't a place you had quality in the same sentence. But, there's allways a but... A clever guy on a other forum(oil/air cooled bikes only) said that stuff you need to trust, like rearsets, clip-ons etc etc should be bought from someone you know do quality, but exhaust is not to hard to make, so you should be ok.
So I went and bought it yesterday, and it's shipped allready, it cost me 3 times what it should, the missus got a dimond ring for our 5 year anniversary on Saturday, and I'd allready told here not to buy anything for me, so I said I want that muffler instead after giving her the ring...It went down with no hassle.
She's not tight with cash, but she knows I have a complete Akra Ti system for the SV, so buying another exhaust thing isn't neccesary in her eyes.

And I've also ordered a jack up kit that will lift it 25mm, so I should be ok in the future... I hope, I don't want to grind a hole in the oem exhaust...
Now I just need to dig out the oem gixxer sidestand and see if it will fit and if I get more groundclearence with it.
