Those are my only 2 problems with the pipe, i'm not an attention ***** and always find myself complaining about guys with loud bikes. Haha

And I have a few ideas for backpressure and baffling once I find out how back it really is.

I will keep this thread updated for sure though.

I did some surgery on my gauge cluster and replaced all those crappy orange/amber LED's with white ones yesterday.

Only took about 3 hours and $12 total.

Looks 10000X better.

Rode it to work, rode it home, put the new pipe on (which in mind numbingly loud btw), rode to test it; on the way back: rode through hail that hit me while I was doing 90 on the interstate, rode through cars sitting on the side of the interstate, and literary (not exaggerating at all) rode through water that was above my tires.
Thank god I wore all my gear.

I wish I could've helped the dude on what looked like a ninja 250 who didn't quite make it through the first run off and fell, but I probably would have flooded my bike.

I can now never sell my F4i after going through that. Haha


I'll give a couple of pics and a small review of the pipe when I get on the computer.

Bad pictures from about 10 min before it started, and the only pic I have right now of the pipe.
Will get some on bike shots tomorrow, it is literally no more than just straight pipe with a little cut off to the side.

That really does look awesome, write up?

I never thought the stock gauge looked bad until I saw that.

The seller on eBay that I bought the LED's from has a write up and step by step instructions on it.

Dream's Arts - LED'S MODIFICATION INSTRUCTION

He offers a bunch of different colors too.
