Great sound! I thought you would like the Rush best.

You will like them even better once you put the TTI's in. I would try the W158's first. If you do the W258's you may want to angle them a bit.

Either way, you going to get a nice bump in power, AND w/ some experimenting with the angle, have the same or better sound you like.

Kevin, please let me know when you come out with a W225 and I will pick that one up too...seriously. It would be a perfect fit for the 2" baffles and a good fit for the 2.25" baffle without having to angle the TTI in a 3" pipe.

I have all three of your TTI's mainly for experimenting....and because I did not size them correctly to my pipes. The W158s are too small for the 2" baffles...its like when I installed the W118 in my 2.5" slip-ons. The W158 in the 2.5" pipe (2.25" ID) was a good fit and made a noticeable difference in performance.

My DP Customs pipe cracked twice at the bracket. Time for something new.

Sounds great! You must be relieved when you received your exhaust....I read in another post that you had some customer service/shipping issues with Spitfire. Don't feel too bad, my Rush took about a month to receive.

Off topic, but what speedo do you have?

Yeah, it's annoying to be completely ignored by a supplier. It's like slipping $400 under the door and hoping the parts arrive.

The speedo is the Dakota Digital multi guage. It's a great little piece and easy to install.

Installed DK Customs Thunder Torque Inserts W258 in my 3" Rush Slip-ons with 2" baffles. Better torque but quiet down the pipes some.

Try turning them 10 degrees at a time...until you find the spot that gives the combination of sound and power that you want.

We did some experimenting with a set of one-off slip-ons last week...found that with those particular slip-ons, on that particular bike, that at about 40 degrees they delivered the best power, and the sound was quite a bit "better" (to our ears) than when the TTI's were at the "flat" positioning.

Thanks Kevin...please explain what 40% is referring to....TTIs turned 40% or 40 degrees?
