Thread: Hawk performance exhaust

Hybrid View

  1. #1
    Just got my muffler back from Randy. I would agree with everyone that he is a great guy. Super friendly and knowledgeable. Haven't gotten my bike back together yet but one thing that irks me is that the welds are absolutely horrible. Very messy with spackle everywhere. I dont know if he has an apprentice or what but nothing of that low quality should ever leave a shop.

    I just shipped mine out to him this a.m. He even said he would throw in some extra parts for my 03 xb9r for free. Super nice guy, can't wait to try it. I'm not too worried about the spatter being as how I personally think these stock exhausts are ugly anyways.....lol but I live the sound from the YouTube videos

    I just be honest. It is not a welding good job, it is not packing inside the can. I filing all the imperfections and painting to make it nicer from the look... but the modification made job. Dissent sound and "performance", and not that expensive as others. Judge yourself !

    I´m going to do a "Hawk" system of my own this Winter.

    Anyone with a picture how its looks inside?
    A belive he hasnt got any packing inside, and if he does have packing doesnt it need to be changed at a certain point? Pretty hard when its welded closed?
    Do i need two outlets or could i just use the original?

    I will also use a KN-filter and then i just tune it with a Hawk tune?

    The Special Ops muffler I believe, is also pretty much gutted but does retain the valve.
