Help Support VMAX Forum:
Long day at work. Just enough time left over to test-fit the Hindle exhaust. I have never installed a V-Max exhaust, so I wanted to go through the paces slowly.
I really like the way this exhaust looks, and it fits tight to the bike. I will get the full install completed, with more pics and sound/vid, later this week!

So you bought the high version right? any problems with the back foot pegs or anything else? Or did it fit like a glove lol
This is the standard Hindle offering, afaik. It doesn't sit quite as high as some others I have seen in the past. Here is a better picture of the clearance around the footpegs:
Plenty of clearance around the rear pegs. Everything fits together cleanly, and there is a lot more room to work than with the stock setup! I took my time, slowly test-fitting the pieces (as I usually do with a new exhaust style, on a different bike). Now I wish I had just quickly bolted it up. I want to hear it! :biglaugh:

It's still pouring rain here, so no rides yet. The sound is deep and throaty without being obnoxious. I've found that mufflers tend to "mellow" a bit, after a few hundred miles. This one will soon make that journey. :biglaugh:

Thanks, I have to agree!!
I'm celebrating my July 4th with the V-Max, a GoPro, and Windows Movie Maker. :biglaugh:

It's been a good day!
I really like that exaust. I am ready to see some dyno numbers
Me too. I am not sure what to expect without any changes to the intake/fueling side? I am going to try to get a baseline dyno pull this weekend, and tune from there, as needed.
I would guess somewhere in the 5-8 Hp range. I could be totally off since I have not seen that exact exaust on a dyno. I am just going by others I have seen.
I will be pretty thrilled if I see a hp increase just from bolting it on. I am prepared to do some tuning, even with a data logger, if I have to. The weight loss alone is worth about .10 in the quarter mile. Plus, it's like 20 extra hp of sound.

Addictive sound W12. Can't get enough of that beautiful bean footage I mean Vmax footage. Don't know if I ever saw a rear view image but it gives a good idea how fast you dust traffic. I'd like to see intermittent glimpses of the pavement behind the rear fender indicating a nose up attitude. Start to finish, we'll documented and well done.

Is it missing alittle in the upper range of the rpms? Awesome sound!

Thanks!! I am addicted to the sound! No name for the bike yet; paint job is going to change the looks. I have an idea for a name, but will address that later!
Seems to strong and smooth to me; my audio speakers indicate hp. :biglaugh:
The dyno agrees! Posting results shortly!!
