So I’m looking at my new Predetor exhaust pipes; they are very nice looking and surprisingly light! Looking inside you see the “mechanical” baffling… sure isn’t much to get in the way of the exhaust gases- I know the engine needs some backpressure to run properly; ya think there is enough back pressure in these pipes to keep the motor happy? It’s my guess there is, but I’m willing to ask the silly questions from time to time

Thanks~

You gotta know that having replaced my D&D's with Predators last weekend, may have been the BEST thing I've done to my bike in 11,000 miles (well..... I speak for affect).

Honest to God, regardless of jetting, packing, repacking, or little packing in my D&D's, Bellmouth, no bellmouth, whatever..... the bike has never run so good as these last 300 miles with my new Predators.

The bike actually PERFORMS better throughout it's entire power range! How can that possibly be? I LOVE 'em!

And the sound! Oh the sound! I like setting off car alarms and scaring pedestrians.

Gotta love the sound! Especially from a stoplight and just banging the gears through with real quick throttle bursts. Just sounds great!

cheers, jason

I'd been riding my bike with a full faced helmet, I got an open faced this weekend that doesn't cover my ears. I was at a light next to a Harley Dyna with loud pipes and mine was louder, it sounded better too! I think this helmet should have come with the pipes. I love underpasses and alleys. I set off another car alarm Saturday night. Great fun!

Are the Predator Silencer's the same things that British Customs call's (Triumph Thruxton Motorcycle Off-Road Silencer) ? If not I am having a hard time finding them.
