Leo Vince Exhaust Review and Video (Install Help Linked)

[Qwibby]

I didn't take any pics during install, there was an amazing install thread here posted by someone else.

Link:

Leo Vince Install Step By Step

I used this link above, however it gets kind of vague towards the end of the install before reassembly.

First thoughts: Quality was amazing, well packaged and every bag was labeled. I was disappointed at the install instructions, they were more like a book of toilet paper, it basically said disassemble your bike fit hardware and check after a few hundred miles, no, seriously thats it.

Install is pretty straight forward, dis-assembly was easy, everything went together nicely. However I came to a shocking discovery that either I was not shipped all of the hardware or you really have to patch together the cans/rear fender hanger/ and support beams with the factory hardware and leo hardware. I got it all together and everything is tight and looks great!

Pros: Pretty easy to figure out installation if you follow the above link and have mechanical know how. Sounds amazing, lots of looks and thumbs up.

Cons: Install instructions, lack of hardware. (IMHO any company should give you extra hardware, just in case, it wont break their bank)

they were a right PITA to fit with my givi rack, lining up the 3 bits of can took quite a while and a lot of hair pulling :S

I've got the exact same cans and I absolutely LOVE them
Are you running with or without the dB-killers installed?
If you're running without them, your bike will be loping at idle...
Do a TB sync and it will definately make a big change As well as changing the map in your PowerCommander (or, installing one )

Without DB Killers, it lopes and it doesn't bother me too much. I'd like to do a TB sync but I'd need to look it up. I am going to purchase a PC asap lol.

I literally didn't tighten a single bolt till the end, I had a friend wiggle them around, and fanagle them for a while, and when we get the right look he held em ad I tightened everything down.

I run without the DB killers also. I just bought a used Two Bro's juice box and it helped a ton. I still need to do a TB sync though. I'm should it would be even more smooth.

Looking good and thanks for the videos! I have Leos but with the db killers. Without is a little too loud for my taste and I think the local police would not be very fond of the racket coming from my bike.

Drones on a bit too much for my 40 mile commute.

I did the same thing, got a good deal on a used Juice Box from a member off of here. Worked wonders for the loping at idle problem, mine purrs at an even 1450ish now.

2nd time apart and still not straight, but close enough for now.

1 thing at a time man, it's on the to do list.

do make a video that shows a fly by at 12500 rpm :thumbup: and you will have the coolest vid on you tube

Wow that drive by video is sick! It sounds amazing. Sold me, too.

I ordered mine sunday night! LeoVince is being slow, they haven't even shipped out yet.

Can't wait for the cans to arrive, looking forward to the install. :rockon:
