I have a VHR sidewinder that I bought and the first one had several flaws. The welding looked awful and there was holes through the joints.

BUT I send ONE e-mail and I promptly got one answer and ALL the parts free of charge from VHR express delivery to NORWAY.

To sum it up the Finish wasn't all that good but the way they handled the complaint was first class  :thumb:



PS. I havent put it on my Hayabusa yet.  I am still building it ( as I have done for many years ) but this year it looks like I can test it on a dragstrip :)

My buddy and teammember is running a V&H Sidewinder.
Very nice exhaust. But he uses the bike only for racing not for the streets.
Here are some pics we made last year:

I've got a VH sidewinder on my 02 busa now with stock motor with intake cam on exhaust, 17-43 sprockets.

I rode it around a little and the bike has good low end TQ, quite a surprise.

I put the packing in the baffle and it's not THAT LOUD.

Overall, nice product.
