Woot! New Exhaust

[ChasingSquid]

Going to pick up a used(300 mi) TBR exhaust for 400 bucks tomorrow. Cant wait to get it back and install it! Its alum, not CF but imo the chrome exhaust will look pretty nice against the 2009 Raven. I have never installed an exhaust, and this is my first bike, gunna take a stab at installing it on my own. It looks pretty straight-forward.

Also just ordered a Juice Box Pro to go along with it...Should I wait for the JB to get here before i install the exhaust or does it not really matter?

Looking forward to no longer being silent!

Just be careful when you tighten the new exhaust to the engine. Make sure you use a torque wrench. I would use 10 ft-lbs as the baseline. After the first 100-150 miles you should re-tighten again. The specification says 14 ft-lbs, but I think that is too tight and can risk breaking off one of the studs.

Wow, 400 bucks. You'll be happy with it for sure.

Congrats on the acquisition.

Thanks for the advice, im planning on being super careful as i dont want to screw something up.

I suspect ill be back here with some specific questions when the time comes, same with the Juice Box. Hopefully it'll get here early next week.

After about 2 hours of work, got the new exhaust as well as the jb pro wired up near the handlebars. Think it came out quite well, also now a lot more familiar with the innards of the bike.

[Sage]

Looks good, and looks so much longer than mine =\

 

[cavcuz05]

it is longer...must have been one of the first gen's i know those where about 12in if im not mistaken...now they are about 9

 

[Sage]

got mine over a year ago, so they must have not lasted that length for too long lol

 

[ChasingSquid]

Yeah, when i first put it on i thought something was wrong because it came out longer than most of the others i have seen.

But it sure as hell sounds like everything is just right. Sooo loud, haha, its pretty awesome.

I hate my neighbor so im glad ill be waking her up now...muahahhahah

Here's a few pics of my bike with my new TB carbon fiber exhaust. I didn't get it for $400, but I'm happy with it. Enjoy the scenery too.

And that's my wife in the background of the last pic. No lewd comments please
