I would so love to have a 124" with my Bobcat, hot damn that would definitely bring down the walls of Jericho; and maybe you would lose a few of the last numbers of power but I think one would still have plenty of power to spare

The bobcat has figment issues with the tsport bags that I don't really feel like messing with, I like the pipe but it's not going to work with my setup. That boarzilla seems a little big for my taste too and I hear it's loud as hell. I like that spf pipe too, I've seen a longer version and like the way it looks, I think they will build it with a burns muffler too which is a good power muffler but I'm on day 3 and still no answer from spf... I'm not going to beg someone to take my money. The royal t racing pipe is nice but too short. I have a call into sawicki, he said he could build the pipe close to the length of the TH. I'd like to keep the TH but it's a piece of crap haha. Honestly I'm happy with the power the bike is already making so as long as I don't lose power with the new pipe I'll be happy, which you would think with the bigger primaries it's got to make at least the same power. Right? Haha

With Tyler actually responding, makes a quality custom product to your needs, that would be my guy.

If you can handle the wait time go with a Sawicki exhaust bro, you won't be disappointed. In all honesty it was worth the wait for me. He can also custom make a pipe however you want it. I have 14" Works and 2" over tubes and was still worried about my scraping his pipe since I can still scrape my T-header on sharp corners. If I'm gonna spend over $1k on a pipe I for sure didn't want to scrape it so I had Tyler custom make me a pipe. Stepped headers for the 106" of course and had him make a custom set of heat shields too. He will make the pipe around your build and like everyone else said his customer service, craftsmanship and quality can't be beat.

Any one of them will make a pipe how you want it, so I wouldnt worry about if one is too long or too short etc...they'll change it to your liking and motor build.

FWIW, spf got right back to me via email. I liked that he's a veteran, and his wait time isnt ridiculous (8 weeks) He also said he'd make the pipe longer because thats what I wanted.....I have a friend whos been waiting SIX MONTHS on a sawicki, still getting dicked around....Heard of other similar stories as well. Couple broken brackets out there as well, which sucks given the price tag.

For me it was SPF vs. Royal-T...I personally went with Royal-T, just based on looks and because my friends have SPF...wanted something different. Was super easy to work with, I asked a bunch of stupid questions, changed a bunch of stuff from his normal pipe, etc. 6-8 week wait. Fingers crossed.

Yea, Tyler has been super busy, but his turnaround time isn't as long as it use to be anymore.

Jojo you got a picture of that pipe on your bike? That thing looks nice. What did that motor end up making?

Puglia that's the first negative thing I've heard about sawicki, he seems to have a pretty good reputation for quality and customer service. I think if you beat the crap out of your bike, things are going to break no matter what. I ride aggressive for sure but I try not to beat the **** out of it

I don't have any pics of it on my bike, I threw it on the stock motor just to hear how it sounded and looked, but didn't take any pics. I haven't even got the motor done yet bro lol. Me and my buddy just took over a shop in Sac so thats been taking up all my time, plus I'm still waiting on my Baker Comp to come in. Here's a pic Tyler took for me.

Right on, he made that pipe completely different then his normal pipe. With the rear tube staying behind the cam cover there's no way you'll scrape that puppy. Looks good man good luck with your shop!
