| Hey guys and maybe girls, I was wondering if anyone else has the Jardine slip on exhaust on an Buell XB. I have it and love it but I would like to here what others think, and maybe someone can directly compare it to the Drummer. My bud has the race kit exhaust and it looks as heavy as the stock, the Jardine weighs nothing in comparison. | |

| Jardines sound good but they have a problem with blowing the packing out of them after about 5000 miles. Not a huge deal, but you do have to repack it, kind of a pain | |

After two long months of backorder, I finally got my Carbon Fiber Jardine for my XB9s yesterday. Wow, it is Awesome! As far as the repacking goes it is pretty easy to take back off and does not look to hard to repack, I'll let you all know in 4800 miles.

i repacked my jardine with stainless steel packing, cut the noise by a few db and runs as good as ever.
here is a clip of the bike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtQvZmI0CD0 i think the jardine is the best bang for buck muffler available

I've had a Jardine on for roughly twenty five hundred miles.
I love it!!!!! It sounds almost as loud as my Harley but the Buell is five times funner to ride! |

| The baffle WILL help, when will you be recieving it? Did you try to have it shipped so that you will have it for the ride home? Or will you have to suffer this trip out, and put it on when you're back? | |

you're actually one of few who don't like the jardine, but that's what makes the world interesting...
best way to go if you feel that the sound of the stock is too quiet/soft is the buell race muffler, but they are hard to find since buell isn't allowed to make them anymore. |

Baffle, baffle, baffle, baffle, baffle. Try that first before you make a drastic change and waste money on another pipe that you may not like. Its a cheap fix and will probably be the best alternative to buying a new pipe that you havent heard. ( or just useless sound clips )
A good way to see how it will sound with the baffle is : ( make sure the bike is cool for this) start the bike, make a cup with your hand leaving about a inch or so hole, stick your hand on the end of the pipe and make a tight seal. Have a friend slightly roll the throttle. It'll make sort of a puffing sound instead of a pop. Its real close to the db level with the baffle, the sound will be slightly different but you get the idea. |

| I also have the Jardine and you all are right: it is loud. I hope JSW figures it out that he should be riding with ear plugs anyhow. Even if the exhaust was whisper quiet, the wind can still damage your hearing. Just my 2 cents. MF | |

| Does anyone have this pipe on a 12? I read that lengthy study (again) and it talks about how good the Jardine is for the 9, but not as good for the 12. I think they also said a remap might be better than race ECM. Any thoughts? | |

I put a Spec Ops pipe on my 12 last week and despite the fact that it is for a 9, I love it. I don't notice any loss in very low-end grunt from not having the exhaust valve and there is a definate improvement in the 2500+ rpm torque. Front wheel gets airborne much easier on the 2nd gear shift. The sound is superb (maybe just a touch loud but still good). I have studied that comparison and its graphs at length and pretty much decided that the Spec Ops was for me. I came across this 9 muffler at a good price so I figured I could give it a try and pick up a spare 12 muffler to have modded later if I liked it.

| Cool. Thanks. I sent you a file. I have a slight dead spot just off idle, I am hoping the pipe and remap will take care of that too. | |

| As Jazzy said, we just added Jardine pipes and K&N air filter to the Buell XB parts shop. These items are in stock and usually ship within two business days. | |

I had a Jardine on my 9. It really wasn't that load. I actually loved the way it sounded. There was one big problem though. Even though it wasn't too loud, with my helmet on the tone was such that it resonated inside the helmet. It was as if when the helmet was on the sound was amplified 2-3 times. I nearly never ride without a helmet but I test rode it with the Jardine and no helmet, there was no problem. With the helmet on though it was nearly deafening! There was an easy solution though. Ear plugs. Barring ear plugs there was just no way to run the Jardine while wearing a helmet. Hear damage was insured!
The nice thing about the Jardine was that at track days I could actually hear the Buell over the Jap bikes. With the stock muffler the sound of exhaust was overcome by the high winding 4's exhaust and without watching the tach the only way to know it was time to shift was when you hit the rev limiter. With the Jardine that wasn't a problem any more. HTH, B-loose |
