Reviews on newer CW exhaust?

[Benitom]

Not happy with my cheap ebay exhaust - so I just ordered the new CW exhaust. Just a suggestion anyone interested order directly from CW website it will save you some change v.s ordering from their Ebay store. Total was $435.00 shipped to California. Ebay checkout was $480.00 shipped. Taxes was added.

Looking for comments of the drone (yes / no) after you have installed it

Unless someone beats me to it I am going to try with and without baffles. Assuming there is some drone.

I finally installed the new CW Exhaust.

1. Exhaust as is - there is drone between 2-3 RPM. Not as loud as Ebay exhaust but it's there. Not unbearable, but I guess personal preference will determine that. My ebay exhaust has drone up to 4 RPM. Once you pass 3 RPM with the new CW exhaust the drone is gone.

2. I inserted aluminum exhaust baffle with cap on the end (Amazon - FOLCONROAD Universal Motorcycle Muffler Insert Baffle Can Removable 48MM) The drone was gone. Sounded like stock muffler. Maybe a bit louder than stock but not obvious.

3. I removed the baffle cab and I like this option the best. Still no drone, but muffler opened up a little bit. Louder than stock with a slight rumble. When you hit 2-3 RPM it almost sounds like it wants to drone. For individuals who are very picky from a scale of 1 to 5 I would say the drone is .5 at 2-3 RPM with this option.

I recommend re-using the stock exhaust clamps or pick up new ones. The gold exhaust clamps included with the exhaust are a little weak. I managed to break one of the bolts. The silver exhaust clamps are very strong. I ended up using the included silver clamps to attach the exhaust tips. I noticed on Ebay you can buy the new CW exhaust without the exhaust elbows and clamps.

Also worth mentioning I had to cut the baffle and shorten it - as is the baffle is too long for new CW exhaust. It fits Ebay exhaust just fine.
