    Well the time finally came to purchase the Leo Vince Carbon exhaust for the 6th Gen. The whole installation process took about 3 hours and the results were better than I expected. It was quite easy. OK, here's the pics!

    Here's the parts all laid out...

    The 2 bolts holding the stock exhaust to the cat were a little rusted in place and felt like they were going to break.

    Liquid wrench to the rescue!

    Wonder where you got those exhausts :)

    I leave the rubber OEM Honda mounts in the subframe rather than using the LV aluminum inserts especially with carbon mufflers, you want more damping from the rubber mounts. Then I think there's a spacer missing that fits between the clamp and the subframe, that's what keeps the mufflers spaced apart and away from the tail lights, unless you wanted the look of both mufflers exiting at an angle towards one another?

    good stuff SS! i also have the LV system (db killers removed of course). i recently pulled up to my local Honda dealership and a couple mechanics came out of the service area to check out what exactly the bike was. i love that it doesn't sound like every other bike on the road.

    Of course I purchased these great pipes from you! A great deal and lightning fast delivery. Ordered on Sunday and received it before the weekend!

    I totally agree with the spacer comment. I actually used the leftover spacers to lower the fender eliminator so it wouldn't need to be modified to fit between the pipes. The cans miss the turn signal by about a half inch and haven't melted the lens (yet!) :biggrin:

    Is there any way you can twist the cans so that they can be at at angle instead of being flat.
    By that I mean, instead of the cans sitting flat (parallel to the ground)
    Example:
    _ _

    can you turn them slightly in the same fashion as the original exhaust.
    Example:
    \ /

    Thanks

    You can play around with removing or adding spacers under the seat and get a few different angles. I'm not sure how much of an angle you are going for but I'm sure some adjustment is possible. Post up some pics when you're done! :thumb:
