Borla Straight Pipe Flyby
I was bored tonight so I shot a REALLY short video with my newly installed Borla straight pipes. Tell me what you think.

Sounds good!
I have those pipes and love them, although it does kinda sound like a boat at idle. Hopefully long tubes and an X-pipe will fix that!
Oh, and I see that you had a ZX-10R...too bad it's sold...have you replaced it yet? I've got a Honda RC51 and couldn't think of selling it.

I haven't replaced the bike yet unfortunately. It was my baby for the last 2 years but it was either that or the vette. I didn't have enough cash to pay for the C5 outright so I had to sell the bike and cobra. Hopefully I will have another one within a year or so once I get settled into a new house. Probably gonna go back to a bigger bike like the zx14 or busa. I had a zx12 before my 10 and it was a torque monster and a lot more comfortable to ride. Not many twisties out here in kansas so it is a lot of flat out riding.
It makes me sad watching everyone getting theirs out of the garage and going for a little ride. On the bright side, I now have a vette and they just wish they did.

Here is another vid my friend took for me that same night. I love the wot sound but will a borla x-pipe clean up the sound a little so it doesn't sound so rough when at lower rpms?

It does sound like a boat, haha. I was hoping an x-pipe would give it a little cleaner tone.
