Anyone fitted a Quill EV2 exhaust to their bike? I've seen them for £165 which seems very cheap as most aftermarket exhausts start at £250+. Had a look at a few reviews and they seem postive. So, I phoned them up and they have offered to fit it, as they are not too far away, and put the bike on the Dyno at no extra cost. I'm now asking is it too goo to be true.  Appreciate the benefit of other experience.

Hi Gresty
I have a Evo2 highlevel carbon oval fitted to my 97 Vfr she sounds just great as it pops away with baffle out  :smiley: and also got Quills fitted to Gtr,(pretty sure they  evo2 but cant find receipt) they fitted mine no problem, only problem was making the link pipe fit ,well when i say problem i mean they just had to make it while i waited as they all hand done.dont recall it going on dyno but good for you if it does, i personally like the cans ,and have had others go to them on the strength of them, 
oh Another plus besides being just a few miles away is they dont need any re-jetting  :wink:

Thanks Slane that's good to know. Will now get rid of that potato launcher

O.C.

Quill exhausts always had a good reputation, so I can't see why you shouldn't be pleased with a pipe from them

Maybe you can post some pics when its fitted ?

I do not have any more close up pix aside from the below one taken from the left side, fairly easy to fit, aside from the left side bracket, the main stand had to be modified but Muzzy did provide one for me. Otherwise, nothing to report, Muzzy did an excellent job. But PCV is a must to regulate your fuel consumption, as mine went up 30% without it !!

What was that again with the wheel barrow and the two handles?  :mfr_lol:
I reckon the GTR looks gorgeous from the left as it is.
The right isn't that great regardless which end can you fit.
One spud launcher is bad enough, to fit a second one is just plain  :censored:.  :wacko:

Before I bought the GTR I was seriously looking at the Sprint ST - mainly because it doesn't have one of those ugly cans at the back!
In the end I tried the Sprint GT but wasn't impressed -  far too expensive  for what you get and butt-ugly compared to the ST mainly because of that xorst.
And to all you noise-freaks out there  :listencarefully: I don't see the point in putting stuff into my ears when I go for a ride to prevent myself from going deaf while subjecting others to excessive noise.  :ohplease:
And if I have to listen to loud noise I actually prefer rock music.  :popcorn:

Nah, the bike should be dual exhaust but not with the potato launchers

As for loud exhaust I find it creates awareness in other drivers

yup... nothing like doing the Hatfield Tunnel at warp 9 with a race pipe on, 'specialy if someones in a soft-top with it down..  :gunsmilie: scares the shit outta them *snigger*
She is like the Bumblebee, she should not fly....... and yet she does!

As with everything you do, simply ask yourself what the world would be like if everybody else would be doing it too.
A lot of thing don't seem so funny any more after that but rather stupid.  :yawn:

Not really. I just have a problem with stupid people,  :asshole: s and inconsiderate and childish behavior.
If you reckon behaving stupidly and/or inconsiderately - aka like a twat - is fun - fine - everybody is entitled to his opinion.
No need to get abusive, though, just because I don't share your idea of fun.
My idea of fun might be to repeatedly ride past your house at 3 o'clock in the morning with a race pipe without baffles.
'Specially' if after the 3rd pass you come running out of the house in your yamas totally pissed off and screaming your 'ead off.  :gunsmilie:
Actually, when I think about it, that would be absolutely hilarious.  :clap:
