Default My next purchase

THis guy modifies his own mufflers for the XB12 and sells them. He has great feedback from customers and many people have dynoed the bikes afterwards and had great results. Also, this guy uses the stock butterfly valve, so that the ECM does not need to be replaced, nor does the TPS need to be reset, as far as I know.

Here is the site with a sound file letting you here what a Buell XB12 sounds like with a muffler. Pretty bad *** for a sport bike.

Didn't you get that memo about the new cover sheets for your TPS report?

I have heard that this muffler is quite loud. Not as loud as a D and D, but very close. So, I am sure you are right, it does it no justice, but just gives you an idea.
