just installed my hardpipes from byohndspeed.com and install was fairly easy and price was respectable, went for a ride last night and i noticed little less turkey, and more woosh at lower speeds, so when i got to an open road i let er' rip and it tached way quicker, and motor sounded way nicer as well, i didnt expect it to tach up that fast so i shifted at 6800 and that sucker just pulled like it never has before, i must recomend these for people who were contimplaining on getting these you wont be disapointed. especially for the price.
bring on the cooler nights! happy boosting people!

You're right, I had to trim mine down as well. I also noticed the increase in vibration.

I also noticed the increase in vibration.yeah me too,i do need a tourqe strap though this hopefully minimize the mad wheel hop and keep it to a mininum, it's cheaper than a set of AWR motor mounts for now, until i stop being lazy and buy them and install them as well.
waiting on the cooler weather to roll in about 3 months (2thumbs)

Yeah man. I just been real busy between your package and the hard pipes comming in on the SAME day. And the fact that I'm the proud new owner of a pocket bike. I actually just finished reformating the hard drive on my computer too!

To be honest, I'm thinking of taking them off. It's not that they suck or anything. It's just that one of my goals was to make a fast car without sacraficing ANY streetability and the vibration is just to much for me. And it seems cabin noise has increased. As for the md player, I haven't installed the software yet so I have yet to try that but I have listened to the discs you had sent with music. The sound quality is great. Thanks.

Well, I have no idea how those pipes fit, but with the turbohoses there is NO vibration.

not sure on why they are causing cabin noise. no body else noted this problem. maybe try to loosen up the clamps and readjust the pipes alittle, maybe they are binding up a-bit..
