Got my pipe back from Randy today, and got it put back on.
OH MY GODDDD!!!!!
This thing sounds awesome. Doesn't sound like a lawnmower any more. Sounds like a big block Chevy. It has a nice deep rumble. Very clear, no rasping or cracking.
I didn't get to ride it very far, just around the block, but all the neighbors were stopping and looking, even the people out mowing could hear the bike over their mowers.
Just from my short ride, I didn't notice any power loss anywhere, it seemed to rev a little quicker.
Sorry I didn't have time to get a longer ride , but I will post back after I get some more ride time in. It definitely didn't hurt anything and sounds AMAZING and on top of that Randy is an awesome guy and is definitely a shining star in the Buell world. He produces a great product at a great price and I would recommend anyone looking for a pipe mod to consider him.

My bike is tuned by Nelson Bruno . He is the one that custum tuned the beast that i ride .I didnt do it . He is the 1 to go to for a custom tune. Give him a call 706-403-5315 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I want to throw out a huge THANK YOU to Randy, not only is this man very knowledgeable about our bike, he makes an awesome products aswell. Turn around time was super fast and the final product looks great! Just wish the brown monkeys were a little more careful when handling our boxes.
Now for the sound.. I started the bike with just the header to get an idea or base to compare with for loudness. With the HAWK pipe on I would say its a 7 out of 10 in loudness as compered to open header. Its very deep and thumpy and is music to my ears when ridding.
My butt dyno tells me the bike is pulling harder through the gears and it seems that i go from 0-100 much quicker now! just waiting on the k&n to complete the combo!
Now when I drive through town or on the highway 100% of the people i pass or passing me stare.
I reccomend this for anyone not looking to spend a bazillion dollas on some fancy name!
Thanks again Randy!

THANKS if i can help give a call 706-260-9734 !!!!!!!
Just got my hawk on today. It was actually better than I imagined. The pipe has been professionally welded to the point that it looks stock besides the different tips and it being shorter. The sound is very similar to a 350 ci with thrush mufflers. Isn't incredibly loud but it does have a very nice deep bark to it. One of the first things I noticed with the exhaust is the amazing throttle response. I had previously done a little tuning on my last setup so it was set to run a little on the rich side so maybe that had something to do with it. Either way I'm very pleased with both the customer service and the product. Randy even called me to make sure that I was pleased with the pipe...2 very big [up] [up] for Randy.
Edit: If anyone wants a before and after video of the pipes just let me know. It was taken from the same location so its very easy to hear the difference

Not really sure why this won't show up on here. Can a mod please fix and tell me what I did wrong? Thanks.
Edit: Should be fixed. Can't tell since it blocks Youtube here @ work. [sad] Next time just look at the web address and paste what follows the = sign (Embed code).

1125 pipe !!!!!! please !!!!!!
Update: I got bored at work and talked to Randy a few min ago and he said he should have the 1125 pipe done by this weekend hopefully. He said he was waiting on Bruno to get back for something and that he was pretty excited about the pipe. He said it was gona look somewhat like the XB pipe but a little different. So you guys are a little bit closer to having it.
