Default Area 51 Exhaust

These guys look legit.
Anyone have one on their touring bike? Thinking about jumping on one of these.

I emailed them, they responded quickly. They sound like they know what they are doing.

The reviews on their website look fake to me, just the way they're worded. Nice looking exhaust though.

They make a pretty big claim; would be nice to hear something from members here, to back it up.
I remember reading some mention of these, just can't find where those posts were.

"Area 51 Racing" has been in the S.F. bay area (Napa) for some time, and they may

be owned by a member or two of a noted old bay area motorcycle club. My son Lives in

Santa Rosa, and I just talked to him on the phone, he has not heard of them or been to

their shop. He will check them out, and get back to me.

No one said anything about how long that Area 51 has been in business, I think maybe

20 years or so, I uses to live in the East Bay area 16 years ago. I remember them from

that time.

They've been reviewed by at least one magazine:

I wonder if these are worth the money. Others exhaust manufacturers offer stepped headers, right? Can anyone recommend a good header pipe that is "stepped"?

Probably won't be easy finding someone around here that has those headers and mufflers on their bike. Maybe it's time for a ride up to Napa!
