WHICH EXHAUST?

Help Support Buellxb Forum:
Ya alot of option for getting a modified stock pipe. You can check out american sportbike website they have a shootout between Buell exhausts. The loudest would be the D&D from what I here. I have the Hawk performance exhaust that is very loud and has a nice deep sound and will be the cheapest especially if your gonna do overseas shipping. The 09's do have some learning capabilities in the closed loop but the open (idle, WOT) where it will not get enough fuel causing it to run lean. I have the same bike as you and rode it like that but did not like how it stuttered ad backfired so I purchased a race ecm from eric Buell racig for $250.
It is easy to forget for some of you Buellers, Buell is an IMPORT. Ha!
Even with shipping, the Hawk could still be quite affordable. Cop a stock exhaust on e-bay or Buellster parts, ship it directly to Randy and then home after it is done. You get the stock fit with aftermarket performance. And you will piss of the neighbors, and have guys at gas stations looking at you as if there was a naked super model standing beside you.

D&D is the loudest, you can pick up a mint used for about $250. i see one posted on another forum right now for $275. They slip right on and have mounts for the stock fairing too. Tuning isn't a need but as all mods, tuning will provide the best results. Ive been running mine for over 3,000 miles now without an issue.
Of course, one may have to consider how low is too loud to be comfortable riding.
I went shooting without earplugs just once back in 1982. I have to wear earplugs under my full face helmet to reduce the ringing from my Hawk. My guess is there is some resonance in the helmet cavity. But I am not ready to either change my pipe or go to a half helmet to see it the ringing goes away.
It just sounds so nice. And guys do look at me like there is a naked supermodel standing next to me at the gas station.

Make one like mine!! I bought the pipe on ebay for 15$ and modified it a little to get it to bolt up. It is louder than the D&D
I'm tempted to find a used welder and make my own as well.
Buying one, I hear mostly bad things about Jardine and D&D. D&D is the loudest, too loud. I know from experience on other bikes at least. Jardine is too loud, AND needs repacking quite often before it gets louder and falls apart.
Most send a stock pipe out for modding. All are about the same loudness, but I think it goes Hawk/Drummer/SpecOps if you had to choose loudest to quietest. You can ask for a quieter Hawk though, I'd recommend that. Drummer/SpecOps/Hawk would be most expensive to cheapest. Spec Ops can retain the exhaust valve, otherwise Drummer is known to have a slight low rpm advantage. Hawk is mid to upper. Spec Ops I think is a happy medium? All are very similar though.

I have a drummer and love it. Sounds awesome and above all maintains a stock appearance which i prefer with all my mods.

Hawk is by far the best! Looks great and sounds great, with the dual pipes! Its 195, you gotta pay shipping to you. i would buy one online have it sent to him, then have him ship it to you when its done, cuts your shipping in half. Then post your pipe for sale for the same price you bought the new one for.
***Buellsterparts.com will actually do this for you, the pipe costs $150, $195 to Hawk it, so thats $345+shipping......something to noodle on.
