Carlsson Exhaust

Installed the Carlsson exhaust in my '08. Not too hard. The hardest part is removing and reinstalling the heat shield. It was $399 new including a primed rear skirt. While I was there I replace the motor mount with the one from Smart Madness. Overall feels more lively. The exhaust note is most noticible at idle and at wide open throttle where it has a mellow sporty tone. While cuising you don't notice anything is different.

I'm waiting for paint to arrive before putting on the rear skirt.

With that license plate, you're gonna have to get an Area451 cruise control. There's just no two ways about it.

The four tips are for the 3 cylinders and the fourth is attached to my seat bottom and is an exhaust port for my farts.

It does look kinda hot-rod'ish to leave the rear skirt off. The sticker is the alien from The Simpsons and was my first mod.

Love the license plate and your teaming it up with the alien sticker.

Loved even more your retort to poster #2.

Please tell me you're either Erik Buell or that you ride one of his motorcycles. That's a killer username.

We're going to enjoy having you as a member.

Dan

It's shaping up to be the Year of the Carlsson System, I think... My valance was finished up today. Can't wait 'til the car comes home.
