2006 FZ6 with LeoVince SBK's, No dB killers Vid, opinion

[TerryNB]

Just got Lisa's LeoVince's installed. I am a total Dinosaur mechanical goon, and I got it done in about 1.5 hours taking my time and having never worked on a Japanese street bike in my life. Really was very easy with no issues. Again, I could break a block of hardened steel, that's how idiotic I am.

She liked without the dB killers. Over stock: Seems smoother and engages off the line substantially quicker with less effort.

Certainly sound better than the stock "I'm a large Moped" sounding pipes. I'd venture it's slightly nicer sounding than my R1.

Vid is Quicktime, 64mb. Taken off iPhone 4 so rather shaky by walking around with it, but doesn't hamper sound.

Bought at PipeCity.com for $479 including shipping. Came with removable dB killers and Mid Pipe/ Cat delete.

I did undo the battery so the ECU would re set. I have not had some of the weird idle or other issues I have heard from a few people on this forum. No issues whatsoever.

there is a really cool website that will host your videos for free! It's called youtube (pronounced "yoo - toob"). All you have to do is upload your file, give it a title and some searchable tags and..... whalah! It embeds a watchable frame here!

Like this one I did:

Sounds good, man. I've been contemplating a weekend run without the db killers in to see what it sounds like, so this is pretty useful for me. From listening, there's more bite to hers, which I don't really hear unless I'm really cranking on it. The db killer seems to smooth out the sound a bit, I guess.

With regards to the ease of installation, consistency seems to be low on the list of Italian manufacturing principles. Some guys have zero issues with installation, others like me are left to grind down brackets and add spacers.

Oh, and thanks for not hosting it on youtube. They suck. Your own domain name ftw.

You may not have the latest Quicktime installed. Or you may have not given enough time to download. Its a large file at 64mb.
