pro - one of the best out there for a Bandit.

con (maybe) - it isn't shiny like chrome or stainless.

that was my concern too love that gold look of the stock pipe

When I got my 98 Bandit, it had the Holeshot exhaust system, Stepped header, I changed to a larger tube, D & D, and from one Friday night to the next, I went from running 10.0's to running 9.80's in the 1/4. I am now running the Hindle stainless with Titanium canister.
I guess that my conclusion was that the Holeshot was good on the street, but not good for dragracing.

Its always refreshing to hear an objective and effective alternative

  Pros- sounds great,less wt.,looks great,more hp
  Cons-Hindle/Brook puts the best numbes on the dyno,have to stay on them to keep them looking great.
  I have the stepped header w/ high mount can on my 98.I love the look,but if you ride in all conditions, you have do alot of rubbing to keep them looking good. I bought my mid pipe and can used on ebay,then bought he header from Dale. I need to take mine off so I can get e hard to reach (where the pipes come ogeher under the motor) places clean.And I'd like to send the mid pipe to get receramic coated.  Dan
