ya' know...the way i see it....it aint no different than us spending BIG money on your chrome things!!!!
It's all "beauty in the eye of the beholder" type stuff...if ya' get my drift. 8)
I've done the hole thing on my Valk. And then more free mods. But in the end, i got MarkT to do the glasspack Mild to Wild thing for 300 bucks...and it was worth EVERY DANG PENNY OF IT!!!!!!! :!: :!: :!:
so yes, i'm sure the Rivco mod will be like the MarkT on the Valk. It will no doubt sound MUCH better than the hole cutting thing. been there, done that. Again, it went like this on the Valk:
1. Drill last set of piggies with 12" bit = a little more cool sound...but not enough (but free....just cost of bit)
2. Drill second set of baffles = still more sound...but still not enough (but again, free...)
3. Spend 300 on MarkT Glasspack (gutted stock exhaust and put in glass pack....you took off pipes...sent to him to mod...then you put back on....JUST LIKE the Rivco thing) = MUCH COOLER SOUND....AND...added HP and Torque =
yep...i've been down this road before. i'm just going to "cut to the chase" this time :twisted:
Hey, there are people on this board that question spending all the 'big bucks' on the stuff YOU sell. They ask why....we're "ruining" the look of the bike...we should leave it stock....blah, blah, blah...
Now we all know how good YOUR stuff looks. To those that get it...no doubt, it's worth EVERY DANG PENNY.
Same for the exhaust thing. Nuff said......
oh by the way, you don't have to have the exhaust exit down...that's a possible option.
But you notice i did ask HS to show some pics of his procedure. Knowing me....since ON THIS BIKE...money isn't a deciding factor for this beauty...in the end, i'll probably sooner or later wind up with the Rivco exhaust....cause the hole thing probably won't be enough for me!
Cost of "hole thing" = 12 bucks
Cost of Rivco exhaust = 300-500 bucks
Happy customer with GREAT sound on a Rune = PRICELESS!!!!
