Will replace eventually. Spent a lot on mods already and it's only been a month :lol:

Or how many are going back to the stock?

Do you mean because the exhaust they purchased is too loud?

The annoying Harley rumble was never anything I coveted.
I will probably keep the stock exhaust on there.
Now if one or more of these after market products produces significantly better gas mileage I might go for it.
But I sure don't need the noise.

Ya,

I probably shouldn't comment yet because the only after market exhaust I have listened to have been on You Tube.

Hear, hear Marc. I find the stock Spyder sound very anemic. Any of the aftermarket pipes are a vast improvement. I have a line on a local Two Brothers Racing dealer who will give me a killer price on a TBR system, so that is the way I plan to go when I take possession of my Spyder in spring 2009. :beerchug1:

Cheers,

Bruce

Bruce,
Are you telling me all this time you do not even own one yet?
I assumed you were the first round buyer

Nope. Put my deposit down, but I didn't want a first year Spydie. I never buy a first year vehicle; I prefer to wait until the teething problems have been sorted out (you know, squealing brakes, a few computer glitches, etc., etc.).

I guess I'm a dreamer, I'm waiting for BRP to get busy and replace these defective stock mufflers that have the burn marks. I'm curious to see what their solution will be ever they ever come up with one. I can hardly wait for the chat on Sept 21 with Marc Lacroix from BRP. I wonder what great answer he will have for taking so long to fix the problem. I hope it's not "we are still working with the manufacturer to solve the problem" bull.

Could be for whatever reason. I am going to go back to the stocker as soon as I get a replacement gasket for the pipe. I am keeping in tabs on Magic Man and the new pipes that he is testing / selling. He says he has one he is looking at that is quieter than the Hindle but still gives the benefits of the free airflow / cooler running over the stock pipe. After riding with the Hindle for three months, I think I want to be able to have a quieter ride.

No joke. I would rather hear my music at a reasonable level.

I have stock (not for long though) and I can't hear my exhaust/engine. The wind noise is all I hear, except at full throttle. I doubt I will hear the Hindle as well.

EDIT: I almost never ride at town speed though then it would be different I guess.

I plan on keeping the stock, but I have a Micron and a Warrior. The Micron was way too loud, but I made a baffle for it and now it's not bad. Nice deep rumble without being excessive. But my favorite is the warrior, nice deep sound and yet quite. And looks like it belongs on the spyder. Adds a little chrome which the spyder has none.
