Default So freakin pumped about my slipons

I just installed my Fuel Moto 4.5 Pro touring slipons and dam they sound nice. They sound so much better than any video clip. The test was revin her up and my wife getting angry becuase her dishes were rattling in the cupboards. Ha. Love it. And theyre not super loud just a really low rumble. Im impressed with the quality of the pipes too. Hats of to Jamie at Fuel Moto. I recommend these pipes to anybody looking for a nice deep bass similar to CFR,s but with baffles. I did alot of research before buying these. Glad i bought em

Can you just slip on and go or did you need a fuel pak?

i have a decibel app on my iphone and i recorded the sound with my stock slipons but cant find the paper i wrote it down on right now. I still have to record the new pipes with my iphone but i can tell you that its a little louder with the new slipons but the sound has much much more bass which is what i was looking for. My wifes dishes in the cupboards were rattling she said but its definitly not that much louder. I have the stock pipes with cat. Im diggin these mufflers alot

I have xied,s and they work excellent. no popping or backfiring. They do the same thing that a fuelpak does. i payed 40 bucks for them on this forum used and took me 15 min to install. They r perfect for a stage 1 upgrade

No fuel management needed if you're simply swapping out mufflers. If you're swapping out air cleaner, then YES, you'll need fuel management - and I would recommend XiED's.

no matter if your just swapping out slipons or your bike is totally stock, i recommend xied,s. my bike ran much better with just installing xied,s even without slipons. Once i added an a/c it was even better and once i added slipons it got even better. xied,s are a plus for inexpensive fuel management all around

the vidoes r pretty good. great starting point but now that i have the Pro Touring pipes on my bike, they sound much much better and much deeper bass in person. They are similar to cfr,s and much deeper than Rineharts

Could it be measured by the amount of dishes being knocked off the shelf ???
