Firestorm exhausts post 2005

[pugs]

Hi all,

Just bought myself a 2006 Firestorm. Salesman says it's a 2007 model with a 2006 Plate, but he would say that wouldn't he. I have noticed when I am looking at exhausts and the like that they all seem to be for years from 90's to 2005. Did they stop exporting VTR's to the states (where most websites are) and that's why they stop at 2005, or is there a difference in the exhaust setup. Any suggestions on a nice sounding exhaust system. Not too loud, just deeper sound maybe. Bike has a ventura rack fitted so I think that puts high set pipes out. Rack may have to go?

Thanks,

Pugs

No difference in pipe fitment from 97/07.You can fit hi-rise pipes with rack fitted,just a little fiddling aound.
Types of pipes staintunes are nice ,but rare and expensive.Their is a set over in the states for $560 at the moment,Postage the killer thou.
Dan moto's are cheap,loud and low mounted,
Jardines are high mount as well,also remus,sold a set few weeks back for $320.
Try youtube ,good way to see how loud you want the pipes.
Have you tried the bafflectomy to the standad pipes.

I have Mussari pipes from Western Australia on my bike for the last 2 years, no probs, good fit and quality.

I bought some higher rise hangers from projection racing in the U.K.

All purchased from EBay and about $400 for cans and link pipes and $60 for the brackets.(the brackets are from revolution in the U.K)

No complaints, have a look!



They sit about 2inches higher!

Only thing is no pillion pegs, but I don't need them anyway.
