Well,
I have not pulled the trigger yet, but I really like the look of these slip-ons. I have the same BLUE (best) color ride, and I think the scorched titanium look of these slip-ons accent the bike very well. I have talked to Brian the USA rep for BF and it looks like I can get the deal done next week. I love the stock twin can look of the S3 and that is why I want to stick with this style. I have been waiting, asking, and researching every detail before I plop down the cash, but I figured I would give my fellow rider the chance to let me know what they think....... good or bad. So lets go......

Mine now.....

Well they are a titanium race can with removable baffle so when Brian told me 1K at my door, I was not shocked. From what I have found out so far, that are worth it in every way......found another pic ....... form the side.... http://www.exoticsportbike.com/Triu_SpeedTriple_05-06_STIOD.jpg

From what I have read so far.....with the right tuning these slip-ons can get you about a 6-7hp bump.....

 

[APtech77]

That would be about the price of the SS ones. The scorched titanium does cost a few bucks more......... :-\
To compare, the Arrow carbon slip-ons and SS mid pipe system go for $888...... :-\
Does the mid pipe make that big a difference?

 

[APtech77]

That is something to think about Dev. I'm guessing they are on the pricey side because they are titanium cans and they are only imported from the UK. I can't find any other US distributors to shop around with other than Brian at BF USA...... :-\
I'm kinda stuck..... :-\

 

[APtech77]

Thanks all.....I knew I had lots of friends here to guide my soul. To bad I don't give a flying fu*k what any of you think.....just kinding. :devil:

I have been fighting the idea of dropping 1K on them for the last month...... ??? :violent1:

 

[APtech77]

The weather has been and will be sh!t for the next 1-2 months so........ :-\
It is about time to get ready though.........

 

[APtech77]

TRUE....All very good advice.....thanks guys.......... :wave:

 

[APtech77]

Ok, I did it..........$960......I think they look and sound badass..

WTF..........

 

[APtech77]

Well, it is a coincidence Dfib contacted me to ask about BF info tonight. For all of you following my BF PROBLEMS.....and I know it is not many, I contacted Brian Hamilton from Blue flame USA today to ask...WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!!! :wtf:
Brian called BF today and told me this is what they had to say. " ..the cans were made and shipped a while back....Now they have no idea where they are at, and no way to find out and/or track them down." WHAT!!!! :finger: Brian, tells them that's BULL SHIT! This guy...(me) has been waiting over TWO MONTHS, and you have no idea where they are. Brian got them to agree to make another set and ship them within the next day. Right, we will see!!!! :finger: That is exactly what they said five weeks ago!! :finger: For my trouble, Brian is now going to send me a free shirt with the cans. I'm really close to telling BF to GO FUCK THEMSELF!!!! :finger: This is no fault of Brian's but I CAN NOT recommend BF to anyone.....sorry. For all of you that have them and like them...great. I'm sure that when/if I ever get them, I might feel a bit better, but after dropping $1,005.00 dollars and getting fucked over and over and over, BLUE FLAME...NOT.... Brian Hamilton.....you can kiss my ass.

:finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger: :finger:

 

[APtech77]

"we thank you for your support" ......... :wave:

 

[APtech77]

Honestly......I think they sound great, but I don't care for the look of them one bit.

 

[APtech77]

Update,

I just finished dinner and unwrapped my long awaited gift to myself. I will try to get them on tonight when I get home from the gym, but here is a few shot right out of the box. I 'm going to try to also get some before and after sound/ vid clips with the new pics. Some quick info:

Stock can 7.8Lbs ....per can
New Ti EVO3 can 4.2Lbs ...per can

Brian through in a free tee shirt and the baffle retaining clip removal tool......he was very understanding. THX Brian!!!

 

[APtech77]

Thanks for posting up the weight savings. I assume that is per can?

Sorry...YES per can. Fixed

That would be about the price of the SS ones. The scorched titanium does cost a few bucks more......... :-\
To compare, the Arrow carbon slip-ons and SS mid pipe system go for $888...... :-\
Does the mid pipe make that big a difference?

Where at? I've only found em for $1000+ for the half system. I like the Arrows, I think that blue flame can is fugly. $1000 for slip ons sounds like a rip off. 1/2 system in titanium would be about that.

Ebay. My local dealer has the new low mount arrow but wants $1300+ These cans are Ti that is way they run $2-300 more than normar SS cans. Sorry you don't like them......NOT :devil: :twofinger: :fingure: :finger: :violent1:

 

[APtech77]

These thing sound SOOOOO fucking wicked. :devil: It is such a cliche, but the vid does not do them justice. From 3-5K RPM these cans have such a LOW droning grunt. Now..... take that grunt and spin it up to 9K RPM......... :devil: :wtf: :devil: These thing sound like a swarm of pissed off hornets. Actually....they sound like a P&W R985 running at full balls.......deep grunt. Sorry the vid starts out so jumpy. I was hopping around the garage over parts and tools. Never posted a video before......hope this works.
