Maybe it wouldn't work, but for that kind of money I would be under the bike with a tape measure and a Summit Racing catalog figuring it out.
It's more than just a turbo muffler strapped to the bottom, this much I know. Kevin puts a lot of time into the design of his products.
Just not worth that money to me...

Maybe it's just the vid, but I wasn't too impressed. I agree with the above statement and I am pretty sure that one could be found to work. Hell, by the time that you bought said muff, had it welded on and sent it off to be hot dipped, you'd still have less in it than what they want for the Drummer.

but is it a G sick?

Without seeing and hearing Odie's offering, I have a hard time with it.
I've been emailing him... He said he is using the stock "shape" Not sure if that means gutting and redoing the stocker, or making an all new one with a similar design. He is also going mostly for sound, without losing power. Not really trying for power gains, but if they happen all the better.

And I'm quite sure that it will be cheaper than a G.

But black looks far better than the stainless one I had seen prior.

I get ya on that. The price is still over the top. But the look sure is nice. I'm interested in seeing what Odie has.

For half again the price of that slip-on, i can buy a titanium full system from K-factory for my RC. It definitely doesn't seem worth what is being asked. And someone mentioned waiting up to a year? I get pissed waiting a week for parts, a year is absolutely unacceptable

I wrote to him. 8 to 12 months. I've heard of people waiting over 14 months for a pipe from him.

I'd gladly spend the 500 on a pipe. But, waiting over a year? Fuck that.. Teach somebody how to weld all your parts together, and get some help in the shop. You might lose a few dollars of profit from each pipe, but there's obviously a demand, so the volume of sales will make up for it.
