Buy this Supertrapp he said. For $160 you can't go wrong he said. It will fit your 03 Bandit he said.

Well, not quite. The bolts line up but I can't get it to hang off the footpeg. It sits too low.

Also, how the hell do those diffusion discs work. It looks like by adding the discs and then the cap you end up sealing the muffler on one end. Where/how does the exhaust escape the back end.

Thanks,
The Big B

Its not one of those as big and ugly as the OEM can is it? Jeez if so i agree! The more ring disc's you add the less back pressure. The prob with em for the Bandit is its lean as hell anyway! (stock) Get a oval titanium bolt on can (Yoshi) RS3 and B done with it! If they still make the Kirker which they took over, isn't bad for the $$. Also the black soot dribble all over the end of it sucks too! I know you wanted to hear that! Where did you get it from and on the 03 with the turned in @ the top midpipe? You can loosen the joint @ the collector and turn it a bit to mount up!!!

Well, its on and it sounds pretty cool. I jerry-rigged a bracket for the time being. (Next weekend I will try turning it at the collecter joint, like you suggest, and see if that won't get it to mout up on the foot peg.) I put on all the rings that it came with, seven I think, and its not obnoxiously loud at all.

I haven't done any carb adjustments yet so I am sure I am not reaping the full benefit of this little beauty. Speaking of which, its not big and ugly at all. Actually, it looks rather sharp if i do say so myself. Its a tad bit shorter and not quite as fat and is burshed metal instead of shiny crome, which i am diggin'. After i adjust the carbs I'll let you know how it performs.

I got it off ebay by the way.

Would love to post a pic...

And I would if I had a digital camera, or a cell phone with a camera in it, or a cell phone, let alone high speed internet or even cable television.

Gotta get back to churning the butter.

I thought you meant a picture of it on the bike...

Here is the item number; #150018194455

The final analysis is that its an o.k. pipe. I really like the sound but as mentioned previously it doesn't fit the bike without the addition of a home-modified bracket. I tried turning the midpipe at the collector but can't because its bolted to the frame at the center stand.

Also, there is an odd weld to the end that bolts to the mid pipe. Hard to 'splain but for lack of a better description it looks like its been melted around the edge of the canister. Not a smooth weld.

All in all, though, for $160.oo it was worth it.

If I ever get the aforementioned digital camera I will gladly post a pic of it on the bike.
