Exhaust opinions

That is correct and if you spend a few more ducats you can get a reversal kit that alows you to reinstall the cat if you want to go back to OEM.

???? We're still talking Loopz, right?

Yes, Jimmy makes a connector with clamps you can buy when you buy his Loopz that allows you to reinstall the cat if you want, he told me when I talked to him that he don't sell many of them and I did not buy the kit either. I bought my Loopz several years ago so I don't know for sure if he is still offering the cat reinstall kit for sale.

I love my Jekill & Hyde system as I can be quite when needed or wanted or sound like a Porch on steroids if the "dress like a pirate" riders need a reminder that I can turn a on them any time I want.

I was able to hear that system on a floor model at Southern Honda. Man sounded GREAT... But no way I would spend two grand on an exhaust.

Thanks Larry!

Yea, I have not heard any other aftermarket exhaust system that even sounds close to the Jekill & Hyde system with Loopz on an F6B and after all if I did not spend my discretionary funds on my toys what am I to do .....take it with me?

When I bought the B in August, the dealer had a 2016 with the Cobra 6 into 6 pipes sitting on the showroom. He started it up and I fell in love. Having maxed my budget to get the B, I didn't have an extra $700 for the Cobra's. Searching on line, I found the for $100 less a couple weeks later and decided the budget could take the hit. Absolutely love the sound when not on the bike but about blew my eardrums out with the drone in my full face helmet. I Kept doing research and read a lot about the Torq Loopz but kept hoping for a miracle that the drone would become "acceptable" the more I rode. It didn't. Ordered the Loopz last week and had time Thanksgiving morning to install them before I had to be in the kitchen to make a spectacular meal. What a difference!!! NO MORE DRONE! I only had time for a short ride up and down the block but I could tell right away the drone was replace by a low, sweet, rumble that I was hoping for. It took me just under 3 hours to get the cat out and the loopz in and I think the worst part of the installation was getting the lower right side cover (the long one behind the brake pedal) to go back on. Pictures included with the directions could use some improvements but over all pretty easy installation. Well worth the $$$ if you have aftermarket pipes and like me, always wear a helmet (I prefer full face) and feel like your heads about to explode from the drone. THANKS TORQ LOOPZ!

We put together a video with sound for the Torq Loopz. May help anyone that wonders what the sound is like. We have another video on the product page that shows installation, definitely helps to give you a better ideal of exactly how the installation is performed.

Rick,

I listened all the video's out on the web before I bought the Cobra's (and then the Torq Loopz). What you can't find is one with the sound you get once you put a helmet on. After I installed the Cobra's I took it for a short ride (maybe 1/2 mile) with out a helmet and it sounds fine. I've always ridden with a full face helmet and once you dawn that "special piece of equipment" WOW, it's a killer. I tired wedging my MP3 player into my helmet before I installed the loops just so I could post the sound change if there was any. Unfortunately after 3 attempts at recording I decided I was too cold to continue (29 degrees in North West Iowa) and just installed them. Like I said, the change was amazing and I'm thankful I installed the Loopz rather than put up with the drone or go back to stock exhaust. As a selling feature, how about making a recording while riding of before and after with a microphone inside a helmet? You might kill the slip on pipe aftermarket (for a while) but any one (like me) that already has them and is trying to figure out what to do next would pick your product in a heartbeat and share it with everyone they know.

Thanks for the info, Hartley. The B I bought already had Two Bros exhaust and the drone at a particular RPM range with full helmet is downright annoying, exhausting, disappointing, etc. I've been debating with myself for a couple of months. Do I get the loopz or go back to the stock exhaust? I had heard that the loopz do wonders for the drone, but I've been skeptical. Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm leaning more and more toward the loopz.
