Well I finally got around to installing my Skinz Protective Gear Super Q exhaust. Here are the links, just uploaded them so hopefully they work.

Install went okay. Most everything matched up. The endcaps don't sit flush to the yellow exhaust covers but the other holes did line up. Some minor grinding to the exhaust shield and she went together okay. Reused the donuts and the first try at installing ended up pushing one donut up inside the pipe. After pulling out the donut she went back together. I kept a watch on the donuts to make sure they didn't creep away from the end of the pipe. About 3 hours from start to finish. After ordering it online and getting the exhaust in the mail i was at first very disappointed. The online picture was a nice and shiny exhaust. The one in the mail was only finished with ceramic coating. After emailing Jeff at Skinz I received a reply back asking what they could do for me. Will let everybody know how it goes. Keep in mind the exhaust on the website is not how it comes. Will do some MPG tests and update later.

nice sound and how does it perform on trail there mike ?
sounds sweet, sometime when you have a chance you should make a clip with it on the stand so we could hear it with some higher rpms.

I have a vid of me ripping away with the stock exhaust and hopefully by tomorrow afternoon I'll have one with the Super Q. Sounds good so far. I just hope it isn't too tinny.

Not me viperyder. I did see that as I was posting mine. Had mine out tonight and so far I like it. No bog at all and the get up and go is good too. Faster, couldn't tell you but it sure sounded fast.
I found my stock vid of me blasting away from the camera and will try to get the same angle with the super Q. That would be the best comparison I could do. My camera records in surround sound and when I feed it thru the receiver she sounds sweet. I turn up the sub and boy does it sound good.

Thanks for posting the vids... I love the sound of that new exhaust! Enjoy!!!! I think here in NY I'd probably be looking at a ticket for running that exhaust.

I had the girlfriend putt around in front of me and it is louder then stock but not too bad. Putt into town and out and i don't think anyone would notice. Light it up and people think the ski is falling. I'm not a late night rider and here in Manitoba we still have lots of open spaces. I certainly was worried at first it being to loud but now i know you can still have your cake and eat it too. LOL
