Really was super liking the exhaust, and wanted to buy 5 sets for me and my buddies
But living in Singapore, we needed an ECE certificate and testing documents to have the pipes legalized, the makers were not able to provide this, and I'm still trying to explore other options on getting this approved.
IF anyone can help, I'd buy u a drink

i just installed the RED Thunder exhaust yesterday Wasnt too bad for my first attempt at installing exhaust , the exhaust gaskets were really in there and took a while to pull out, but the hardest part was the stock front exhaust mount all sorts of a pain in the *** to get off...ended up stripping the t-27 torx due to the positioning of the frame, so i just grabbed my dremel and just ground the heads off, dropped the plate, and then used channel locks to remove the stud's.
picture of stupid mount below,
guess i should have invested in one of these...
i wish i would have known that beforehand oh well, life sucks get a helmet!
I will have to loosen everything up soon, I think I have an exhaust leak at the point where the muffler slips on to the headers, something is not quite lined up right there, but I figure I will wait until I get the heat shields to do that.
I love the sound way better than the RUSH slipon's i had previously, the growl between gears is great. No real drone on the freeway either it acts very tame until you give it WOT then is sounds like a pissed off banshee
A couple of things i didn't expect
1. dramatic DECREASE in engine vibration my mirrors are actually useful now. (may be in partially due to being able to remove 2 of the exhaust flange nuts by hand BEFORE using the socket wrench to loosen them
2. the engine definitely breathes better and it doesn't sound like it is about to shake apart at 3K rpms it sounds like it is just getting started
3. all the noise after a long ride IE the metal cooling down and re-adjusting are gone.
i made a little startup video of the sound take a listen below if you are interested.
