Check em out on the Tbike site.

Man they sound good. These are finally some good quality vids with good sound. Wouldn't even know they're the same pipes as the ones in that old mpg they had posted before. :yayyy:

When was the last time you stood on the corner and watched and listened as YOU fly by on YOUR motorcycle???

For an Los Angelean you seem to be a little nieve....

Speaking as a Recording Engineer.... I can make a VESPA sound like this on a vid-clip!!!! :roll:

Having a bad day are we?! I know exactly what part of what i'm hearing is and what isn't what i will hear in person. Being a musician myself and having recorded also for 3+decades i too have a fair degree of understanding about it. I don't expect to hear the exact same thing i hear on that vid, but it gives me a good idea for what to expect because i DO have a lot of years behind me as far as understanding sound and acoustics. What does however baffle me is why people like you have some kind of burning need to critize people non constructivly. and make these forums a less respectable and enjoyable place. I'd prefer it if you didn't reply to my posts anymore ">

I have had the TB pipes installed for about a year.
Have put around 3000 miles on them.
I have listened to them while a buddy rode my bike around the block.
I have to say the sound clips are pretty accurate.
The only negative thing is we are both of the Vietnam era & at low rpm while cruising they do sound a little like a Huey.
Which is really good if you were waiting for a lift in a hot LZ.

.... Sorry, but when pipe dealers are putting sounds up for subjective evaluation they should expect criticism....

Perhaps they'll get it and do ithe right thing... by putting the microphone on the chest of the rider and (focus) the camera on the road, tach and speedo....

My apology to you Dazco... The quote wasn't directed directly at you.... A generalized poke at the 'marketeers' and the uninitiated....
Most will just accept the status quo....
