Hi Martin, the pipes are great. Great quality, great sound, nice crisp
performance (better than the Carbon performance pipe). A slight annoyance
with extra heat from under the seat, but I'm working on that with some heat
shielding material. It is a chromed pipe with aluminium mufflers. The
mileage, even with the 17 tooth front sprocket is still 50 mpg. So overall
I'm really happy. I've kept the carbon pipe so that if I ever need to
quieten it down (eg. for a cornering school or ride day) I can. Its just
three bolts and the pipes are swapped back over. So as far as I'm concerned
I've got the best of both worlds. And the pipes sure do draw lots of
comments and the sound sure does turn heads as I drive down the street. It's
not too much louder than the carbon pipe but the sound is heaps better.

Summary: I like it, I like it!!!!
