thank you so much for an incredible write up staffo...I had pretty much made my mind up, but wanted to save a little cash before getting them...but considering I live minutes away from the USA distributor...I just might get them tomorrow : ) I had staintune on a BMW F650GS and I know the quality of the pipes was perfect and the sound was great, and like you say when you want to make big noise its a matter of minutes to remove the baffle. Thanks again..Jim
