big gun - quiet core for klr

Arne did a complete review in an issue of Dual Sport News. The answer is good performance and very loud. Fireball is totally dismayed with the fit and quality on his and is giving up. When riding with him on the White Rim I could shut my bike down and hear his for a mile or so (it is very quiet out there)...it sounded just like a Huey.... Kurt

Stu, Fireball is on the road, as I recall he was having trouble with the fit between the mid-pipe and the header pipe...does that make sense? Kurt

I'll give that an unqualified maybe. My setup only had 2 pipes. The header and the can. I just took mine back to Big Gun today to get the header pipe ceramic coate, and Paul said had " an old one" so maybe the design has changed. Mine fit great, I even used the stock bracket at mid-pipe to join the two and with copious amounts of high temp RTV, it sealed perfectly. The first time I put the 2 pieces together, I did have a heck of a time... but I am of the beleif that there is no problem that can withstand the power of sustained thinking, and by golly they finally went together like a hand and glove...

Sorry, I confused it with a SuperCrapp...it must have been the joint between the silencer and the header pipe. He also was having trouble with the fit between the Big'un and the Jesse Bags but that is not a fault of Big'un... Kurt
