Hindle Exhaust Update

[00-NUKE]

So here is the story........ Short & Sweet.

Got back from a ride last weekend and my Nytro won't idle and is running louder than normal. I have approximately 800 miles on this exhaust and it appears that the bottom of my Hindle manifold blew out. I contacted both Hurricane Perf. and Hindle about this. Hindle stated that the newer systems have a reinforced manifold and said that they will send me one when they receive my old one. Dave at Hurricane informed me that he would persue this for me. That is what I like to hear! This is my first product from Hindle, and so far I am impressed by their customer loyalty.

Thank You Dave and Hindle!

That's the way it should be, the customer service that is! I hope everything works out okay!

Btw; how are those SLP spindles working for you?

How would one know if one had the updated header? I just ordered a full system, hope I don't get the old stock!

After 2 seasons on mine, I sent muffler in for repacking.
Should do regular repack maintenance on these muffler types. (I do it on my bikes too)
They fixed it up nice and were good on the fees.
Put the DB reducer in this year and I like it even more than last year.

Glad they are taking care of you and I hope mine does NOT do that

Yeah X2

Mine has been great so far but only 1000 miles on the system so far.

I'm sure it will. Outside of the manifold issue, I've been quite impressed with this exhaust system.

As far as the SLP's. I'd have to put them in my top 5 upgrades. The list goes as follows....

#1 OFT Relocator
#2 Star Suspension Kit
#3 C&A Pros (Aftermarket Skis)
#4 Shock Revalve
#5 SLP Spindles

Looks like I have to put that Star kit on my wish list

I like that list, glad I could be number #1

I waited almost 2 years to pull the trigger on the Star Suspension kit to see if it worked before I spent the money. All I can say is that it's worth EVERY penny! I would recommend the suspension kit before you perform a revalve though. I revalved my shocks stiffer first to help with the crappy stock suspension transition, and it ended up being a bit stiff after the Star kit was installed. This kit works!

I've sent them an email

A few more pics following the exhaust removal. It looks like it sepparated at the weld.

If I'm correct, you had one of the early build systems. Since then they have gone 18 gage for the collector and have had no issues.

I hope you're right. I didn'y have that many miles on this exhaust before she let loose.
