Really, you guys don't like my pipes? These things ROCK! Sweetest sound I've heard. Yes, a bit on the loud side - but the deepest, fullest, and throatiest. And acording to David Rash, increase Dyno HP from 166 stock to 187 with remap and is 20 lbs lighter.

But most importantly, D&D is the only exhaust that is available entirely in black satin from header to tip. So it is perfect for a 40th anni-Busa complete black-out look.

Nice! But won't that black midpipe so scratches easily from boots?

Wow, you will get flamed for this post unless you are being fecicious.

I love the sound of them too, and i think they also look great.

But 21 horsepower and saving 20 pounds.....Yeah right!

You might be right, but this is what they advertise.

But you gotta love that Texas flag logo, huh?

That's what I'm talkin' about baby!

Ozy69 · « **Reply #7 on:** November 02, 2003, 09:13:00 PM »

I am running them.
I love the way they look and sound But when it comes to performance they simply SUCK!!
The only reason I am running them is because The full carbon fiber system cost me $350 to my door

D&D WON MY PLACE AS THE LOWEST HP PIPES YOU CAN BUY
NONE EVER MADE OVER 160 HP ON MY DYNO
MATTER A FACT SEVERAL MADE IN THE 140 HP RANGE

OK where do you find them?

I am still running stock pipes because I like the quieness since the bike is stock anyway. I would like the better sound, but only if it was backed up by a significant power increase, such as from a built motor or a turbo. I plan to turbo mine as soon as I can afford it. I have read everything on pipes on this board and other links as well over the past couple years as pertains to the Busa, and the general opinion which was backed up in many many cases by dyo charts from lots of different places and by rider's experience is that the D&D pipes were the most affordable and had some of the nicest and loudest sound but made less power than any others.

The only thing I think when I see a D&D is... pure poser.

Do yourself a favor and go to a party store... buy the 10pack of noisemakers for $1.99. Does the same thing as a D&D.

this topic has already been discussed. D&D are scraping the bottom of the performance barrel.(and coming up empty)
You get what you pay for.

Ok, so maybe the exhaust is not fast. But they look and sound great to me. My bike is way more fun to ride now!

Besides, the bike is way too fast for me as it is - I admit "I'm not worthy".

CHRIS1300 · « **Reply #16 on:** November 03, 2003, 08:52:00 AM »

166 stock Ha! 187 with just a D and D yea right! Come on you gotta know that is bullshit if you researched the hayabusa before you bought it.

cstraubs1 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 03, 2003, 08:55:00 AM »

I like the way they sound..loud pipes saves lives..

Bring your 1K down the road to my shop and I will take you money after running on a dyno and showing you that you where lied to.

The pipe is a POS and they finally changed the flag due to Texans bitching at the company.

mach1mike · « **Reply #20 on:** November 03, 2003, 12:51:00 PM »

The most important thing is that you are happy with the pipes and are having fun! As long as you know what their capabilities are and you are enjoying them, great! If I wanted a good sound and taking my poor financial status into account, and if I could not find any cheap used ones, I would buy a pair of D&D bolt ons. I wouldn't have to remap or get a Power Commander.

WOW!

You guys are harsh. I didn't realize that people take this type of hobby so seriously. I have never done mods to a bike before and figured I'd just have a little fun with some pipes and an undertail.

I'd better not tell you guys what undertail I have.

Bus Rydr · « **Reply #24 on:** November 03, 2003, 05:42:00 PM »

You have to post some pics. I bet she looks great with the blacked out pipes.

You're still a newbie. You gotta expect a little harsh treatment every now and then

Guys around here take their HP's very seriously and are proud of every pony they can squeeze out.

Take it as a lesson learned; you can trust the guys here before you trust the manufacturer about their own product. Many have been there and done that. Now for your personal preferences and taste in add-ons, stay with what suits your taste buds. You'll like the bike that much better when it’s your Busa instead of just like the one in the picture from the board.

And do tell, what tail did you get?
