Installed my Bender exaust today...............Pics Too!

[Rx1 cowboy]

what cubby said , i put new gaskets every year, as far as gutting goes i think you have to be careful, we have one that runs asphault in my area and he always seemed much slower than the other rx's that were running, i dont know if its his poor set up or what but its something to consider, also when this pipe was first appearig (actually i had been harassing bender for it for a month or so) i spoke with someone, mike i think at bender and he said the first attempt at a pipe lost quite a bit of hp, but im unsure if this is just a sales ploy to see pipes, anyway the pipes kick #*$&@.

Scooby, I did some bartering with my dealer on some new equipment I sold him and had some credit left and couldn't figure out what to use it on until I heard cowboy's clip

Cubby, I played it safe and got new gaskets too

I just installed it guys. Forget about getting new donut gaskets, they are a pain in the #*$&@ to get to fit. I ended up babying the originals out and using them. I can't believe how heavy the stock exaust is :shock: You guys really need to get it out of there :ORC

The time came to fire her up, Oh My God, what a sweet sound!

Get this system if you are remotely interested

Dan, how much more horsepower are you getting with the Bender pipes. Thanks.

Dan, how much more horsepower are you getting with the Bender pipes. Thanks.

To tell you the truth, I don't know. I didn't buy it for that reason, but to improve the sound. Added benefits are the weight reduction and extra HP. It seems to me I remember reading 4-5 HP. I think this can will work great with my ECP kit. Being that I'm getting more air in it only makes sense I need to move more air out

Here's a couple pictures of the 2 exausts:

Note how the crossover on the Bender is identacle to the stocker.

Mighty I am not trying to be a smart #*$&@ but: after listening to the music of rolling thumder all summer long the ning ning ning of a rice gringer just doesn't cut it.

Unless you are one of those girly men who do.

Different strokes for different folks

I have always loved the sound of an inline 4 with a vance and hines for the street, now I have one for the snow

Nice piece.

Mighty is there any truth to the rumor that you are looking for a Harley engine to put in that warrior? Be cool now!

Nope, I prefer to ride, not wrench

That's the reason I went with Yamaha to begin with 2 years ago :ORC
