some of you may have read my thread about my issues getting the slip-on onto the wolvy. well i found out that i just gave up on it too soon.
i ended up having to filing out the mounting holes to get the bolts to go in but i got it. and that was the only other issue. the cleanace issue went away when i got the bolt tightened down.
when i started it up i could deffinently tell there was an HMF on there. a really deep rumble at idle and a really loud high end. i took it out for a test ride and my first impressions were basically disappointing. but then the engine got warmed up. and holy shit this thing came alive. it can wheelie now without holding the brake, revving it up and yanking my sholder out of socket to get the front end off the ground. all you have to do is give it the gas and a little tug and shes going skyward. from a dead stop when you punch the gas the rear tires spin alittle and the front tires come off the ground about an inch (not much, but for this big thing with a 280 pound jockey on it's back thats alot) when rolling down the road you can still feel the power when you punch the gas. EDIT: i forgot to put in here that the top end was effected too. i gained 2 MPH on the top end. and again that is with a 280 pound rider.
i am really happy with this exhaust and how well it performs. it sounds great and has the power to back it up. i would highly recommend this pipe to anyone in the market for a 450 wolverine exhaust.
if anyone has any questions about it let me know i will answer them as best i can.
i'll try post videos of before and after and pics maybe this weekend.
here's a few pics and vids of the new pipe.
pics of the install
here's a video of before the pipe install.
and here's one of after. (it's kind of sputterine because it's not warmed up yet)
here's a video i took when we were rolling down the road. (near the end i tried zooming in on the speedometer but it couldn't focus)
and here's another of us rolling down the road.
