I used the UPS store and they sale boxes big enough ( 36x12x12). Cost me $35.00 to ship from Texas to Georgia.

Well thank you very much for the super speedy response. I'll go there later and check it out.

I called Randy for the first time today and just like everybody else posted he sure is a nice guy. He must have spoken to hundreds of us so far and he still sounds excited about talking Buell! I’m dropping my exhaust in the mail for him.

Sending my exhaust in pretty soon here, when i talked to him a coupe weeks ago he told me that if i put my ecm in there he'd flash it to a race ecm for free, might want to ask him about that!

Randy is the Man. He demanded that i called him right after i took it for a ride after the new setup. DEF WORTH SENDING TO HIM

Well very sad story here guys I bought the box the guy recommended on here at the ups store on tuesday. Well tuesday night my dog bolted out the front door and was ran over by a van who would think a 15lb dog wouldnt even get a broken bone from a full size cargo vans tires hitting him twice. So after two and a half days at the vet and a 1800$ bill i have to put my exhaust aside for a while. Family first.

I've been doing alot of reading about the hawk exhaust lately and was wondering what the sound difference people are getting from the different tips they have randy put on. Because i really like the look of the 4" stainless tip i seen a pic of.

 

[50dro]

Mine is 3.25". Guess I started a trend? To go much larger, he'll have to put a flat rear piece on. The only other Hawk I've heard was on a 9 so I'm not sure if the comparison is valid or not? It seemed similar though. Here's what mine looks like:

...and off the bike after repainting it:

Damn that looks so sick. How much more was the 3.25" tip vs. the standard? And thats what i have is a 03 xb9r. What kind of paint did u use on your exhaust? Looks really good

 

[50dro]

Thanks! It was $0 extra! That's what kind of guy Randy is![up] I'd ask him though. If I were to guess, he'll charge you extra for the extra materials if at all.

I sand blasted mine and painted it with matte black engine paint. I didn't want flat or else I would have used header paint for the higher temperature resistance. It has held up really well thus far!

 

[thuren67]

I believe its about 15 extra for a nice stainless tip. I am getting a 3 inch heavy duty slash cut single tip.

Sounds about right. Let's see pics when you get it! Sounds nice!

If i didnt have access to a sand blaster could i just sand the hell out of it?
