The sound is great It seems harder to find that V8 hotrod sound on the new Vmax vs the old, but with the shorties I finally achieved it. If you're asking will it improve the sound with cat in place? I doubt it. You have to remove (or gut) the catalytic converter. Some aren't willing to do that..

I knew you were going to like them so long as they wernt to loud for ya I think I got the b-king cans straightened out for me too need to remake the mid pipe and all will be fine. Looks really good though how long did the cans end up being look like 12"

Yes, 12" canister and 2" of inlet pipe. They really sound good too! I would have prefered like 17" overall, but the "shorties" are growing on me I think you're gonna like yours too once you get them finished Some people don't know you never have to repack Scorpions (lifetime mufflers).

Bob, i think you found the cans that fit your bike well.. Luv to hear them in person.. Bikes looking good!

Looks great Bob! amazing how many combos you can have!

Nice work Bob. Thatz TOTALLY your style and quite BOSS!!! Curious to see that red tank does.

That's being worked on now.. Beautiful sunny but cool day here. Perfect for working on Max

Pics soon..

And Mike (blueta71) there's whole slew of people here that would really be interested in an Xpipe.. Comment? With winter upon us, you think maybe 1 last production run?

I really like these. 17-in. long, 2-1/2-in core all brushed SS w/brushed billet end cap. These have the most insane sound of anything I've tried on this bike. Going to try a 4X1 with a single one of these next. I'd post a sound clip if I knew how.

Nice job with the shorties!

I like the fact your getting the new Max to sound like the Gen 1.

I have the X-pipe with the stock factory mufflers but they are way too quiet for the neighborhood to understand the awesome force behind the Gen 2.

What's a set of those Scorpion shorties cost if a person was to order them?

On the 2010 red top cover, did you transfer all the trim from your other cover? There's somewhere around $100.00 worth of stuff if you buying them separately including the steel backbone under the foam pad.

The mufflers I used are for a FZ6 Fazer Here but that's retail. I got mine off ebay for less than 1/2 that, but you just have to find a style you like. These are also similar. Again, it's up to what you like and good mufflers are expensive, so it's best to keep an eye out on ebay for closeouts The red cover came complete except for the 2 front mount blocks.. I'm still working on it but wanted to see what it looks like. I'm not the first to do this. Bigbikelupo also did a bi-color 09.. The red is slightly brighter than the covers, but will see soon how it all looks together..
