bravoo! thats what i am talking about.. i been looking for the real owners to give me feedbacks. was installation easy on it? do you think the slip on sound as good as full?
This is a full system, there is no slip-on, see the original threads there is detailed info and pictures. These threads had plenty of useful information before the slanging match starts.

I had mine fitted by my local tech, and he had no problems. However you need to pay particular attention to the main mounting bracket at the front of the under-loop as this is where we had the two failures (the first time the pipe cracked, and the second time with the reinforced bracket the actual bracket snapped) so there are some stresses going through there (not sure why but its a clear failure point). We ended up rubber mounting this the third time around but it only ran once after that before we took it off the bike so I can't definitively claim we fixed that.
Another thing to consider is the belly pan. To mount it you need to drill holes in your fairings and its not a belly pan in the traditional sense as it has no 'pan', its just two strips of CF and looks and is flimsy.
The heat protection provided in the kit wasn't adequate, we used the spacer and heat tape but we still saw an impact on the fairings so we put some extra protection and spacing in. Even when we did this it melted the track fairings (although they were cheap)
Finally sound wise this is essentially a racing exhaust, sounds like a motoGP bike and depending on how many baffles 0,1,2 you use it will clearly vary. Zero baffles is unrideable in my view, 1 is best compromise of sound and power, never tried two baffles. If you run 1, run it on the left hand side of the bike as you sit on it.
Despite all the squabbling here I actually tried to run the exhaust again, when I was thinking of turning the 1199 into a dedicated track bike and I found the noise even with 1 baffle too intrusive at the track, distracting for me and other riders I was coming up on, caused a few wobbles
On the road its actually better ironically, as long as your local constabulary don't care about enforcing noise regs. Speaking of which it wouldn't meet the requirements at a lot of tracks.
The pipe suffers from the same problems as the full Termi in that regardless of how we tuned it (with Tuneboy) we could not get rid of the dip in the power/TQ curve that seems to be related to the bore. We saw this on two separate dyno's.
Want to know more you'll find the other stuff in those threads above.
