I am shopping for new pipes. I stumbled into sikpipes. Any input?

Why? You have great pipes already.

I have their older version of double barrels. No complaints. Loud as ****.

 

They look good. I wouldn't mind having them.

 

I am looking for pipes that have a "DIY" look to it.

 

I ended up going a differnet route with my bike and didn't end up buying one, but I emailed back and forth with Sik Pipes a couple of years ago. The guy seemed on the up and up and responded to all my emails with good answers to the questions that I had. I never came accross any bad press about the company either.

 

You are going to have a ridiculous power loss. IMO you have one of the best pipes out there.

 

I had some. Takes forever. Get ready to wait 2 to 3 months to get them. I will never do business with them Again.

 

Mine took 6 weeks, he told it might take up to 2 months. Good quality and he answers any emails promptly. I didnt have a ridiculous power loss, matter of fact I couldnt feel any though Im sure a dyno would show one.

 

Since I have SE Super Tuner, I am planning on getting it dyno tuned after I bolt on the new pipes. Also, planning on installing torque cones to minimize back pressure loss.

I am assuming the power loss comes from not tuning it properly after installation.

 

curious what that 2:1 you had was. Looked real nice!
