Going to pick this up in a couple of hours, it's ready to go. This is the first one I did like this, I think it was winter of 2010-2011, either December or January. It's been hiding in the corner of my garage behind a bunch of other stuff. Lost the original downpipe off of it, so it's got a new one. The pipe was only used for testing and to see if I could make one.

Better pics when I get it, this is just what the guy sent to me last night.

Black satin high temp powdercoat. $475 shipped.

Gateway tuned one a while back, numbers should be similar to this. I've seen similar numbers on mine, 9 hp gain without tuning, etc. Just depends on where it starts out at.

No pics of it in it's current color, only nekkid.

This one is in PA somewhere, got polished though.

GAXB9R, yes. Might possibly make more, I really don't know. Gateway did that tune and then the guy modded it a little more, so it could make even more than what was posted.

Going to pick it up in another 45 minutes I think.
 
Nice, Father's day is just around the corner, hmmm how do i convince the wife dad really needs this...
 
Not to be a prick(I like the piece, good craftsmanship and looks like it'd be a good performer) but that dyno is not good representation. The runs were on different days, there is a huge difference in temperature, etc. Was it the same dyno operator?
 
Dyno chart isn't everything. I realize it was done on different days, different temp, etc, but it's not like Marion (mechanic at gateway-hd) got it tuned in 5 minutes. It's still a 8 hp gain over what it started at. Yes, I'm fairly certain it was the same operator/tuner, he did them for quite a while. He's at another dealer now, maybe 30 miles south. There's a reason why all that data is printed at the bottom, it's calculated into the final hp numbers to give a somewhat accurate reading. I've used that dyno myself, the highest I've seen recorded from my personal bike was 139 or 140 I think. I've tested several bikes there and seen v-rods only make 115 at the wheel on it. That run was right after one of mine and the guy was pretty pissed that a "jap" bike made so much more power. He got even more pissed when he found out it wasn't what he thought.

Motox6, yes. GB sells these exact same mufflers, I think unpolished (raw) is $465? I do the downpipe differently and it sits a little (2" maybe?) farther back, closer to the tire.

They do sound pretty good for what it is, my hand crafted ones are very similar in sound, just a lot more work to make them.
 
Gotcha. Wasn't trying to poke holes in your product or anything...I just don't think that's accurate. Maybe it is though....I'm certainly no expert on dyno tuning...
 
Great looking exhaust! I went with a similar build (by GB), and would not hesitate to buy this one from D_Adams. This style of muffler sounds the best (in my opinion), makes very good power, and looks great/like it belongs on our Buells.

I haven't dyno'd my bike (and probably never will), but my butt and wheelie Dyno tells me that the midrange is at least as good as stock, and there is a significant gain on top
.
 
I'd take it if I could make payments. :D. I've been tossing around the idea of selling my drummer SS. Only thing is I don't want any down time so I don't miss out on any seat time durring my short time off......
 
Whats the interior design of the Magnaflow exhaust? Dual tube straight through? Do you have a pic of internals
