KanadianKen Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Took a short vid/sound clip of the Leo Vince Carbon Fiber system installed on my 6th Gen. Here it is for anyone that is interested in how it sounds. (Bike was warmed up first before revving the crap out of it.....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefer800Canuck Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 What, no bouncing off the rev-limiter, Stunna-style? :warranty: Later model taillight looks good! :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanadianKen Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Wonder if anyone with the REMUS CF pipes might be able to post up a similar vid of their pipes. Most I revved to was 5200 btw - so no - I didn't bounce off the rev limiter - have done that in the past though - while riding........ :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Well how do you think it sounds in person? Are you pleased with the Leo's? Video is a little hard to guage the true sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanadianKen Posted July 6, 2010 Author Share Posted July 6, 2010 Well how do you think it sounds in person? Are you pleased with the Leo's? Video is a little hard to guage the true sound I love the sound. At the risk of getting Stanetune owners pissed at me - I think it sounds better than the tunes.... (I owned a set of Tunes - so I have ridden with both). Its a deep souns, and is pretty loud. Only other system that sounds almost as good is the REMUS CF or the fully gutted OEM system.

Member Contributer swimmer Posted July 6, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted July 6, 2010 Did your Leo Vince come with any kind of silencer insert? I have the remus Ti (with silencers) and I'm tempted to say it sounds very much live your sound clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the remus Ti (with silencers) and I'm tempted to say it sounds very much live your sound clip. My pipes came with a spud installed in each. After trying to remove the spuds while the system was already installed on bike - and getting nowhere - we removed the pipes - and knocked the spuds out clean with one blow OFF the bike. The pipes were MUCH quieter with the spuds installed. WOuld love it if you could do a quick video of your bikes sound with the Remus pipes. :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 thanks for the info. lloks like I may go with the Leo's then since I want CF. Staintunes sound nice but I cant stand chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks for posting that, Ken. Love the looks and sound of CF pipes on VFRs. :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Hey thanks again...just sent an email for the price. Do you have any more pics of the exhaust mounted? Is the exhaust routed to actually go thru both cans or just one? I'm still reading about these VFR's and it looks like some exhausts only go thru one can, is that right? Are there benefits to that? Seems kinda lame to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems kinda lame to me. The LV's go through both cans... Have had mine for several thousand miles (conical ends, CF) and I love them. Great sound and great quality too... I don't like the thought of one of the cans being closed. I'll qualify that statement by saying I'm not an engineer but I feel like if this bike were made for one muffler, wouldn't Honda have done it in the first place???

Graves Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Just so you know, this promotion on Leo Vince products is still going on: Go here :huh: Greg :biggrin: I got mine orded. Now I'm just waiting on delivery. He was having issues with customs as of last week. I'll send him an e-mail for an update and post back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanadianKen Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 did Mrs Ken comment on the tone? SHHHHHHHHHHH - she still doesn't know!!! She doesn't go anywhere near the bike - (or me for that matter) so for now - she knows nothing of the covert "install in NC" :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Ken, are you using a PC with the Leo's? If not, does it run fine, any issues. I wanna pick these up but don't know if I should install 'em or wait till I get a PC and do it all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enzed_viffer Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Staintunes sound nice but I cant stand chrome. They're stainless steel, not chromed steel. FWIW, even though I've got a Satantune on the VFR, I don't think it's the best sounding muffler for the VFR. The workmanship and quality is excellent, but the internal volume is lower than a Remus, Micron, or other mufflers, so the sound is less deep-toned.

Ok...how bout I don't like shiny, Staintunes look great, but too shiny for me. Anything I can unbolt is gonna get painted/powdercoated black.... one day I'll paint that damn swingarm too.

Member Contributer VFR Capt.Bob Posted July 8, 2010 Member Contributer Share Posted July 8, 2010 5th gen with an uncorked stainetune high mount sounds almost as good as a ducati. 6th gen is a very close second. Ken even ripped the LeoVinci labels off them to fool his wife. Sneaky bastage. :fing02: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KanadianKen Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Ken, are you using a PC with the Leo's? If not, does it run fine, any issues. I wanna pick these up but don't know if I should install 'em or wait till I get a PC and do it all at once. I run a PCIII with Cozyes map. Runs most excellent! If you don't have a PCIII, you can still run these - but you might want to unplug the O2 sensors and install the Radio Shack diodes/resistors - whatever the heck that mod is. I have O2 Eliminators from DynoTune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh it'll happen, hopefully sooner rather than later. I painted the one on my 600rr with some high temp resistant spray and it looked great. It worked out pretty good cuz, if you scratched it, it was real easy to touch up. The only problem with this one is it's so rough. Ken, thanks again for the info.

Sorry for the O/T post.... satin black swing arm, frame, forks, triples, bars, levers, footrest brackets, exhaust, fuel cap, hub, sprocket, wheels, etc.. Some paint, some powder. I've also done the rads after the pic was taken. I'd like to do the body in black, but it would be a shame to paint over nearly perfect Honda paint. Maybe if I get bored this winter....
