| I talked with my Dealer today. The Victory stage 1 pipes Level 2 are a 5 hp increase.I wonder if I willl get good results when Kevinx installs my cam package..if I use the stock pipes.Almost $1000 for at set of slip on pipes and 5hp is way too much for me.Maybe cams arent a good choice with a stock exhaust.

Gainesville Fl Home of the Gators | Don't get caught up on peak numbers. I have done several bikes with stock pipes, and the low-mid is GREATLY improved. Along with a solid pull to redline instead of giving up at 4200. I'm guessing HP still goes from 80 to roughly 100-105 if peaks are what turn you on. BTW the basic S1 kit is only good for about 3HP without other adders

Rapid City, SD | Additional question for Kevin,
Is there an exhaust that you would recommend over all others? How about #1 & 2 choices? Consider if you will, sound/HP benefit/decel pop propencity, visual appearance. Tally the results in your head and pick a winner and runner up. Put yourself in our shoes and pretent your getting a cam install and which pipe combo would I (you) choose? |

Central Florida | best overall numbers come with S1L1 pipes with gatling tips. I feel best overall look and sound as well. Atom Bombs sound great as do s1L2
pipes but best overall performance is with cams,vfc3,intake plate s1l1 with tips... |

| This was explained to me by Lloyd a while ago.
S1L1's will give you on average two more HP over the S1L2's and my Big Honkers.
The sound of the Honkers is worth the 2 HP in my opinion.
I have never seen numbers on RPW's 2 into 1's or the Atom Bombs.
Interestd in the RPW numbers, their True Duals seem to give me more HP than the Stage One pipes I took off the Kingpin. |

Central Florida | RPW pipes(2 into 1) give similar #s. BUT they are 30 lbs lighter than stock and are tunable by packing and unpacking baffles
and they are beautifully made I have my eye on the black ceramachromes. They look awesome, I havent heard them though. |
