New Comp-S Slip-On Exhaust for F6B

[Bigmac nj]

I recorded the Db level at 3000 RPMS. I thought it would be louder but I find it is more quiet than my African Grey Parrot at full chirp.
The F6B came in at 90 Db and "Pepper" came in at a ear spliting 99 Db !


I placed the meter was about 4-5 feet behind and 3 feet above the exhaust and about 4 feet from the noisy end of the bird.

I too hard a hard time getting the installation just. I have not had the bike out for an extended run but will do so this weekend (after I correct the left exhaust location)

Hey there Bigmac. Any more comments after the weekend ride? How was the performance of the new pipes? Droning at all?

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on these today so would really appreciate your insights. Thanks!

I did get to give it a test or break in run this past Sunday. I went east toward Sandy Hook and south along the shore on Rt36 (max speed 40-50 with traffic lights). Dined at a fine restaurant in Long Branch on the water.A portion of the return trip was taken on the Garden State Parkway and that was for about 20 miles at 65-75 mph.

I had my wife on board and wanted to get some high speed time to judge the noise level and her comfort level with it.
I had ear plugs available for her and me but we did not need them..Her comments to me was that it was loud at first but she got used to it after a few miles. She did say it was quite
a bit different from the stock exhaust !(an understatement for sure).

I am using a F4Custom 16" shield on the bike and I my helmet is a Shoei RJ Air 3/4 open face helmet

My thoughts..after the 50ish mile trip. I would say there is a bit of a drone when holding the rpms steady..at 2000 rpm.Snap it up to 3000 and you get what I can say is a Growl !
You will not be able to sneak up on anybody with this exhaust..be it at idle or on the highway...Varying the rpm will get you different levels of loudness..From a nice rumble at idle, to a bark/growl...My Harley riding buds will no longer ask me if he bike is running or why does it sound like a sewing machine.

Granted 50 miles might not be a true test but it did pass the wife test and I am satisfied with it. I will have a few day long lunch runs(200+ miles) in the coming weeks so I can get a complete evaluation of this exhaust..If anybody gets near the Jersey shore and wants to hear them give me a PM.

Anyone know if these TB pipes will work on 2014 Honda Valkyrie F6C?

Oh, wow! I cranked her up in the garage for the first time after installing Torq Loopz and TBR's. It's insanely loud but, then again, it's in my garage so maybe outside it won't be quite as noticeable. I have a small leak at one spot that I need to remedy and then, I'll get it out on the road to see if the drone is gone. I don't think I'm going to mind a louder exhaust note as long as it doesn't drone. It should be interesting to say the least. I'll be posting a follow-up either later today or tomorrow.

As far as the installation goes, all went pretty much as expected. When you're adding Loopz and TBR's, there is a fair amount of aligning to be done. If you take your time, it's not too bad. You have spots requiring either anti-seize or hi-temp gasket maker so it can get a bit messy.

Finally, I am impressed overall with the quality of the TBR's but the black paint scratches quite easily. I'm assuming it's not power coated but painted with hi-temp flat black. Anyway, it's easy enough to touch up with hi-temp flat black if it does get scratched. That's it for now.

I want the Torq Loopz bad...but I need to get another bike first...this one is maxed out for $$$...will never get it back now !!!!

I am looking forward to the review !!!

Steve--You and I both are deep "under water" on our bikes so adding another $300 item won't make that much difference. I have a bad history of getting bikes "perfected" and then selling them. Apparently, one thing I enjoy and get satisfaction from is improving my bikes. I think this one is about done. Considering how the resale value of the F6B has plummeted and all the expensive mods we've both done, we are going to lose big time when we let it go .
