YAY!! I want to know what you think about the sound of the pipe. I'm considering changing mine...

I think it sounds fabulous. Part of the reason we took so long to put it on was that it looked so wonderful but I was afraid it'd be way too loud for me (it's stamped "not for street use") and when you look in the end it's straight through, full pipe bore. But we'd put a quiet-tip onto my old dirt bike, so I emailed Scorpion to see if they made such a thing for the Ti muffler, which they did, is called the "D.B. Killer", which is a restrictor pipe that mounts inside the end of the muffler, had to drill one hole in the tail piece of the muffler (another worry!) for a set screw to hold it in place.
In the end, it was really easy to mount up, and not loud but very deep sounding. Still has a light note of sewing machine on top. I can hear it when I go around a corner banked over and get the echo from the pavement, otherwise, it's pretty subtle. I've changed my route home to include a perfect cloverleaf, just so's I can hear it!
