Talking 2009 Rocker C exhaust mod

Just back from the dealership and had the V&H exhaust removed and the new set put on; can anybody guess what they are? Ha Ha Ha.
It was a good move; they tear up the big radius' in sound and performance. I gained more torque and 5 more horses.
Just for those having problems guessing; - they are Martin Brothers' Shockwaves.
This is the Dyno mapping of both pipes. The red line is the V&H Big Radius' and the blue line is the Martin Brother's Shockwaves
I also had the three inch extension kit put on for my foot controls

Nice!!

Love the look of them, and good to hear that performance is better as well. Still keeping my black big radius though, Chrome doesn't look right on mine.

Looks good!

Did you have the bike dyno'd both with the BR and the Martins? That's a pretty good boost.

Thx

Great choice, originally I was going to go with Paul Yaffe's Crack Pipes, but about two weeks ago had decided to go with the Martin Bros. Shockwaves. I had asked Martin Bros. then what the decibel rating was and their reply was: "80db @ 10 '".
