| The picture below shows the pipe that I bought for this bike and the strangely placed frame sliders. I purchased this pipe from a classified ad on the internet for $100 right before I sold the bike. The pipe was a Jardine RT One slip on with the race baffle. The pipe was very loud but had a nice tone to it, comparable to a D&D. It definitely added some power at high rpms but didn't make a difference that I could feel down low. No rejetting was required as it is a slip on. The frame sliders were installed by the first owner of this bike. The one on the left side is in the normal place for a slider but the right side is bolted to the frame right above the brake lever. It was annoying until I got used to it. I would not recommend this placement. I believe it was probably done to avoid cutting the plastic or buying a more expensive set of sliders that included a bracket to mount the slider through a preexisting hole in the plastic. Otherwise, this bike was all stock and mint. I sold it in the spring of 2003 to take advantage of a good deal on a Grand Am. |
