Mark's exhaust 4-2, SS, 14" cans, 2" outlets, no tips. I took it out for a test run this morning, it sounds great, but I'm thinking earplugs are in order as the exhaust pulses between 3k and 4k hurt my ears a little bit. Aside from that, I like the consistent sound through the rpm range...

Thanks fellas, and yes Redbone, I have new OEM gaskets to use. Update: I got the job done, everything except tightening things up as I haven't yet figured out how to turn the inside allen nuts that hold on the rear headers.

SpecOps, I got started on the exhaust job last night. Nice vids by the way. I dropped the stock mufflers w/o any problem and still have the front headers remaining to go. I was wondering about the rear headers, after I took them off at the clamp, I noticed there were some sort of extensions...

The Dyno run sounds good, nice vid.

I did the 5 hole mod to my pipes, shot video yesterday so I can compare after I put install Marks exhaust later this week. I haven't yet seen anyvideo of this setup on here except at idle, I thought I'd shoot video of the bike under acceleration. Hopefully, these videos will help some of you...

No Prob Spec, I think most of my questions have been answered, I'll find where the nuts go as I do the install. Thanks, all of you for the help.

Cool, found the springs amongst all the shredded newspaper, what are the two nuts for? I just said "two nuts", Ha!

Was there supposed to be some springs with the pipes? I found the little brackets at either side of each joint and wondered what was used to hold them together. Also, does some sort of high temp. sealant need to be used inside each joint?

I got my Marks pipes yesterday, stainless 4-2 and I must say that I'm impressed with the workmanship, particularly the welding, they look great. I have never mounted an exhaust on a bike, but would like to try. I read the how to section and learned how to drop a stock exhaust, but is there any...

Specops13 I was wondering if that needle that RAWarrior took a photo of is the same needle you said had to be shimmed when you installed your Mark's exhaust?

Dekberg, that's an impressive number, but I have decided to go with Mark's. Holeshots are nearly 400 dollars more and a bit salty for my budget. I ordered them today. SS, 4-2, 14" cans, and no tips. Mark was great on the phone, answered all my questions. SpecOps13 he told me the same thing you...

Thanks everyone for the input, I'm going with Mark's. Any opinions on jet kits and air filters to go with the new pipes?

I listened to Marks Pipes and Dale Walker Holeshots on the web. Without hearing both in person, I think I like the sound of Marks better, but I like the look of the Holeshots better. I am not sure which system would give me the best horsepower increase, but that's secondary as I'm already...

No tickets in 10 years here, but had a couple of close calls since I bought a Vmax. Where I live, you just never know when or where a cop is going to pop up, so I do a little burst of acceleration here and there and then slow down fast, just enough to get the adrenaline flowing and hopefully...

I heard the sound they make today as a guy that passed me was running them on his 09. I thought they sounded really good, sorta like an exotic sports car. When I buy my Gen 2, this will be exhaust system I'll insist on.

I did the five hole mod to my bike's exhaust with no noticeable difference in performance. I left the end caps off, painted the insides flat black, and put 3/16" rivets back in the existing rivet holes. I wanted to preserve the factory look as much as possible without drawing attention to the...

I purchased a 2004 Vmax last month, sweet bike, makes my '83 Magna feel like a red headed step child. Took it for a 550 mile ride over the Memorial day weekend and enjoyed every minute. My bike is all stock with engine guards, hwy pegs and a sissybar. Going to install clear turn signal...
