RE: Foxy 2.3 (Black Exhaust)

So how much deeper and throatier is the Akro in relation to the stock? I know it's a little louder, but I'm looking for a very deep, growling tone...and I know that Akro usually fits the bill. Is that an accurate description of the full exhaust system you have?

By a pretty big margin. It's really throaty up above 6000k and after I gutted the intake it got even throatier. Once your up in the 8-9-10 range..it sounds like an AMA trackbike..as good as it gets. BTW...I'm nominating you for BOTM....your WAY OVERDUE for that title

^^ Thanks. Guess that means I need to take some new pictures of her tonight. Haven't taken fresh pics in a while, and the older pics, though still good, are a little stagnant. NEW PICS TONIGHT!

RE: Foxy 2.3 (Black Exhaust)

I first used the VHT header paint. But it was extremely flat black and looked horrible. So then, I sprayed a few thin coats of the 500-degree engine enamel over that to give it that deep, dark black.
