Looks great. Isn't it amazing how an exhaust change can give a bike a whole new attitude.

Thanks!

I ordered about two weeks ago, so another week or two when the parts get here. Kevin told me three weeks as they have 08 heads on the shelf. I'm looking forward to this HQ build.

I agree. After install I stood back and at first glance I knew I made the right decision.

Sweet, keep us up on the build. I will be going in this week do run some more runs after I change the oil and should be able to post some of the dyno runs shortly after. HQ103, went with the 575 cams - should be interesting.

One of the reasons I went ahead and install this pipe was because I wanted to feel the difference between what I was running. I had Fuel Moto's Rush Pipes w/custom baffles. Fat Cat wins hands down as you can feel the torque pulling until you let off the throttle. I always felt that the old setup's torque would die out too quickly and I really hated the sound of those Rush pipes. I guess the best testament to this pipe is that my front shocks extend up until I let off the throttle.

I was also concerned about the sound as I went with the Standard baffle but at cruise speed they are as quiet as the Rush pipes. At idle, nothing sounds better than a 2-1 and when I twist, they have a nice bark. I'm very happy with my decision.
