Conclusions from all the postings:
1. Supertrap provides best power increase and better sound.
2. Jardine provides the best sound at a better price.
Out on the fringe there seems other pipes and other low price options such as drilling holes (I don't fully appreciate that option).
As an American yuppie (read that as someone who just came back from having paid good money to have someone else change radiator hoses on my car for an unreasonable amount of money), I think the Supertrapp is in my future. Except for cost and I don't see the added cost as really being that high given significant documented performance inceases, there really does not seem to be much question in my mind that the Supertrapp is the way to go. I understand that there is an issue about the size of the pipe diameter or length but don't you need to take it to a shop to have it installed anyway. Does 'slip on' really mean slip it on and not require any welding?
I think someone should post .wav file of the different sounds. Maybe I'd appreciate the talk about the rumble more.
Hope I don't sound too obnoxious about the money thing. I understand how much $250 is. The point I really have is that to me, if drilling holes give you a sound then the cost is right. However, the perormance is what you should be spending money on, in my opion.
