The GB Buell XB exhaust system...

[ctmallam]

Just installed one on my SS! Nice clean welds, sturdy craftsmanship. Screw the front fairing. Less plastic to polish. My son came running out of the house after I fired it up. Love that Magnaflow sound, it's definitely a head turner. Great job GB!

Been a year with this exhaust - still love it. A real head turner.

I've grown to the look of the bike without a chin fairing - makes it more naked.

 

[frostedflakejake]

Ran this exhaust for about a year and a half now and I absolutely love it.

 

[Rhino1]

Wow--your bikes look great! Very much in tune with the Streetfighter heritage! I've been digging around for an exhaust system, and have emailed GB... hopefully he gets back to me soon....

BTW, FrostedFlakeJake, are those Rizoma mirrors?

GB still around?

i emailed him a while back, like december 2011 maybe? can't find the email, he was moving and was working on getting the shop setup. at the time he said he had one boxed and ready to go. but i think he mentioned also he was going to the whataburger policy, "we dont make it till you order it"

Just spoke with Jorge this afternoon as a potential customer had expressed some interest in his product. He's all settled and making exhausts to order. Just contact him and he'll make it happen.

Because of the relative infrequency with which he checks this site, it's probably best to e-mail him at baliasg [at] gmail-dot-com.

I got a response and am a happy camper! My GB is being built!

One thing that would keep me from buying this pipe is there's no numbers or dyno charts but that's just me. I'd go for performance over sound.

 

[Rhino1]

Well, good feedback with respect to quality, and muffler volume, make it desirable to me.

One thing that would keep me from buying this pipe is there's no numbers or dyno charts but that's just me. I'd go for performance over sound.

Has anyone asked him for the numbers? Will he not provide it?

 

[Kid1620]

I asked on a different thread that he has going but I don't think he gets on here to much

 

[uly luigi]

Rhino, might I inquire as to the price?

 

[Rhino1]

Less than $500.

GB made reference to "better numbers than a Jardine..." and a couple others. I figure th build is similar to Latus, and we know those make nice power. I can't wait.

But I want to clarify--I am quite satisfied with the power of my XB12, and the sound of a big block V8 that emanates from the GB pipe is what I'm after; and I make no bones about it...

Before I get hammered for the "just enough" horsepower reference, I have a couple other bikes that over compensate

 

[uly luigi]

I agree, XT has plenty of giddy up, I just want the sound to match the power, and from what I have seen GB's pipes are almost a work of art, they look real good on these bikes

 

[Rhino1]

Update. I've had the GB on for a while now (about a month), and I've been exceedingly happy with it. Although I have not dyno'd the bike, I know there is definitely more power everywhere, and definitely a nice big jump in top end. The sound is absolutely what I expected: VTwin thundering bliss...

Here's a pic of it mounted:

How loud are these pipes

 

[Rhino1]

Well, definitely louder than stock--but nowhere near as loud as straight pipes

They're a nice, deep, throaty rumble, and of course, get louder as the revs go up. I'd say they're not as loud as, say, a Jardine, but they sound deeper...

 

[dhc]

Thats one of the best sounding exhausts i have ever heard....the youtube links from the first page that is...


Are they still being made? And price? Shame about no chin fairing...

 

[GOduc]

not sure if gb is still making them or not.

but if youre looking for the same setup, dean from KEDA designs has one for sale right now. same muffler that gb used to make his. dean modified it internally to run similiar to his rt-xb1.

seems like a steal to me, kindof surprised it isn't gone already. its already powdercoated, which will be about $75. and free shipping.

you can also buy chin spoiler brackets from jardine. they're about $75 i think. and you can run this muffler with the chin spoiler.
