Hi From Utah Newb-Chinese Exhaust?

Time to introduce myself after lurking in the background for awhile.....

I am 35 y/old from Utah.
Bought a clean Red 02 with 14k last summer-now has 19k(will post pics) and have been having a blast!!

This is my first street bike....after many years on dirt bikes.

There are some very good canyons to carve all around where I live and I have been progressively improving my skills and was eventually able to get rid of those pesky "chicken Strips" completely.



Only mods I have completed so far..... just put new Michelin PP2ct front and rear(coming off of Conti Attacks) Flushmount LED's Front and Back ,Smoke windshield,8 holes drilled in exhaust baffle

After all of the helpful Info on this site, my to do list:
1 Front Forks
2 Brakes and SS lines
3 Exhaust
and more....as time and $ will allow.



Which brings me to #3

I am ready to put on some lighter, better sounding (without being crazy loud) exhaust and ran across these.........

Has anybody put heard of this company?

Seems pretty cheap for a full set of carbon fiber slip ons .......

or is this a case of "You get what you pay for"

I've seen them and they're certainly cheap for new. Haven't heard of anyone on here trying them out yet, I'm curious to see how they hold up...

at that price they may be worth giving a shot. I would love to hear the megaphones on the superhawk.

hmm, wonder why it says "for one". I'd ask about that before buying

welcome. When it's suspension time hit up Jason at http://www.corporatesuspension.com/ in Salt Lake City. He can make the stock forks work great, and hook you up with great options for the back end.

See you at Miller this year ? dale

It's very possible that you may get considerably less than what you pay for,
considering the source.

Just my $.02

The pics look a bit crude, probably typical of what comes out of China. Personally I'd wait till I could afford something that will quality level of the stock pipes

Yeah I think from the pics, the quality of these are definitely far below a name brand exhaust. If I knew what sound they created, and knew I could get several years out of them I, would give these a try........but I am afraid these will just blow apart in time.
If others have had issues with rivets bursting on good quality cf pipes ,I doubt these will hold,but could be wrong.

I think I will keep my eye open for a good bargain on some Yosh or Jardines etc.



Slo1.... Thanks for the hook up on setting up my suspension.I will give Jason a call. My forks are in dire need of upgrading.
As far as Miller....I just missed out on APEX's last track day last year.
Do you take your hawk or another track bike?
