Holeshot Performance 21" Slip-On
« on: April 07, 2007, 05:54:51 PM »
I just installed my new 21" slip-on today.  It made the bike run better than before (mainly better throttle response) and now it has a nice mellow sound without being too loud.  Dale Walker described it as "subtle" and I couldn't agree more.  It is lighter than stock and the workmanship is excellent.  I would definitely recommend this product to anyone wanting a nice performance enhancement without too much noise. :grin:

21"?  I personally could not go with a 21".  That is one long exhaust.  I am happy with my high mount with a 14" exhaust.  It is surprisingly mellow sounding  considering the short lenth.  Regardless. Getting rid of the stock exhaust is an improvement.

I know it sounds long, but it doesn't look too bad, IMHO.

I agree with Solman that the 21" would be too long for a high mount - but it seems ok for the standard mount mid-pipe.  

The new ones don't have the logo on the side anymore like the photo posted above.  They have a very subtle etched logo on the end cap instead.  Much nicer in my opinion and it doesn't call attention to the fact that it is an aftermarket pipe.  

I think the real question about any modification or product is "Would you do it again?"  In the case of this pipe, my answer is "yes, definitely!".

Yea, I would probably do the same for mine as well.  I have a friend who has the 14" low mount and it is definitely louder than mine.  I don't think it is obnoxous, but I can hear it more.
