You like it then!?

I love mine,they sound lovely!

oh yes! the guys i was installing it with, refused to let me keep the baffle in LOL! it doesn't sound too loud i don't think

i suppose i should give more info on what i thought of it...

it seems to want to wheelie more off the lights, and one of the other guys who took it out said it is much better at high revs and more responsive - i have only driven it on my commute home tonight so not really had a chance to open it up...

i love the popping though!

Sounds good. The popping will cause the muffler package to be blown away faster than it should be though. Blocking the PAIR system will reduce the popping.

i wondered about the popping

i was going to put the baffle back in and try to stop the popping for the boring commute to work, as no point there....is that the PAIR system?

I've lost the bolt for it

i think it's at my mate's where i fitted it....or hidden under the depths of my seat! (the baffle is in there).

what do i do if the packing gets blown away?

If you can, just close the PAIR system again. If your packing is gone, the exhaust will be:
1) very, very loud
2) you could get marks on the muffler because of the heat that flows directly through it
3) will have to pay big time to get the can repacked again.

I run mine without the baffle,I also noticed the difference in performance straight away!

With regard to the popping,mine only does it from high rev overrun,so don't find it a problem!

yeah mostly i induce it myself

i just like it! i think that i will grow out of it though...i take it, as long as it doesn't pop, it'll be ok? it won't still damage it cos of no baffle?
