did you hack your muffler off the stock mid pipe?

Alex, do you have a 97-00 Bandit? If so, the muffler bolts on.

The Yoshimura & Leo Vince do for sure, not sure about any of the others @ Pipe City.

Holeshot's cans come with a mid-pipe, too and you can see them on their site, but you have to order over the phone.

I'd say ALWAYS get a can that comes with a midpipe for a '2nd Gen' Bandit... because a lot of the power gain/weight loss is to be found there. I also think ones with a midpipe are easier to install than bolt-ons.... and the price difference is typically minimal.

I'd guess that only about half of the cans on the market actually do come with a midpipe though. Some manufacturers call their exhausts "slip-on" when they are actually bolt-on, (no midpipe) so ask before you buy.

Yoshimura, Holeshot, Leo Vince, Muzzy, Akrapovic... are a few that I know of that do come with it.

The difference in power gain between most of them will be negligible... so find one with a midpipe that you like at a good price.

(My personal opinion is that Two Brothers and D&D are the loudest pipes on the market for the Bandit.)

JC Motorcycles & Starcycle are reputable companies and always have good prices on Ebay for Bandit exhausts.

I have a muzzy and it came with a stainless steel midpipe and a centre stand stop.

Do yourself a favor.

Get a Holeshot pipe from Dale.

They look good, sound good, and they perform.

They come with a really nice mid pipe and a center stand stop.

The price is fair, especially when you consider how nice it is.

And I really like the fact that my money is going directly to the guy who developed and made the product - instead of to some big corporation.
