okay I opened my big mouth about this... earlier today
and even highjacked a thread. :razz:

my thought was how the trident pipe wasn't quite there in design.

sure its a beautiful set of pipes... but it doesnt work as well with the lines of the new sprints.

it should be cut off in a slant at the end like the stock pipes on the 05-07's.

Its that original stock design that sold me on my 2006.

anyway I atleast owe you guys a picture... so here it is.
the picture is not perfect... but it sure gets my point across.

Trident/wolf please make this pipe and I will buy it. :-D :-D

It would be easy enough to machine the ends like this BUT the original pre-production Sprint design has ends like ours and teh slash cuts were changed for economy and EVERYONE (I mean by the hundreds here) immediately started asking and emailing to get a set like the original pre production ends - so that's what we made....

But everyone's taste is different I guess so we can always get a set specially machined for you if you want!!

Wolf,

Any chance of a price change? With the 3 model year well under way, and the '08's due to come out in a few months, how about a sale? :-D If your pipe was say, $600.00 USD shipped, I think I'd buy it. Still high at $800.00 USD

Thanks.

I think I like the ala mv agusta style (original better)...granted the slant looks ok...but they look meaner round I think...too tourer style with the slant :-D

Wolf, yes you're right I remember the original pre-production picture now.
