Default unheard of pipe

So on the hunt for some appropriate pipes for the Raptor, I missed out on some Mivv ones on ebay last week. The other night browsing the tinternet, we fell upon some very fruity cans.

Has anyone ever heard of Galassetti ? Are they expensive, they seem to be a rarity. Are they any good...and where the hell can I get some?

I've seen a youtube vid of some on a raptor, and tried to make sense of the galassetti site, and well I'm scratching my head

The M4s are fine on the rap, but they were supposed to be for a TL, and don't quite stay put in position, and cause I was so nice to try and buy some Mivvs for Im Indoors for xmas, I'm now seeing what the options are.
Bearing in mind I'm looking for something different from all the usual names, and something that has to equal the decibels of the M4s Finding cans that go with the Raptor is quite a mean feat in itself

So throw some bespoke names at me...oh and the louder the better

hmm maybe, but TBH the M4 don't quite fit, so I would imagine that your example could be the same...IS it for a TL? as the Tl pipes definately don't go...we've been down that road with a set of Yoshis when we first bought it

..oh yeah has to be twin piped too

Wow... haven't heard that name for a while. They are similar to Micron in Britain, quality is good but not great and the sit in the middle of the price band.

The M4 system for the TL1000 and the SV1000 are different, for a start the TL full system is a 2-1 where as the SV is a 2-1. The routing of the downpipes is slightly different too and as to whether they are interchangeable between models with modification, not that I am aware of. The M4 system I borrowed for the weekend did not fit on to my TL.

The Raptor was born with twin pipes. So one pipe would look odd and in my very limited mind would cause issues....I'd quite like twins on one side though

Speak to Amanda M and find out what she had on her Raptor. I remember her saying that whatever they were she took them off again as they were to loud...

Shes not very active on the forum so maybe drop her a PM ?

I think Amanda M bought a set of renegades after taing off the loud ones. Kitkats Raptor has got Art cans on and they're pretty loud
