BMW R1200RT black widow downpipes

[Stu]

Ordered some black widow downpipes yesterday at around 4pm 

 

They was delivered today by 10 am which is pretty good service if you ask me 

 

I was expecting a huge box! but even the missus managed to take it in for me with no questions asked as to what it was  

 

 

Once opened and unpacked I surprised at the quality of them 

 

 

I whipped the stock ones off within about 20 mins with eagerness 

 

 

They all simply pushed together with a smear of exhaust sealer and two clamps which I left loose until the pipes where fitted 

 

They look thinner than the OE pipes but they are the same size 

 

 

They fitted perfectly with no issues whatsoever stock end can has been fitted for now  

 

I am awaiting delivery of a new can then I will see how it runs and more than likely get a power commander and a custom remap on it 

 

All this will improve rideability and low end power and smooth the power curve out

As I said she asked no questions!! 

 

I then said which can do you like out of these ones! showing her pics 

 

Her reply was "you have just fitted an exhaust haven't you?" 

 

I think it was at this point that I realised I should just keep quiet and walk away and order the one I liked!

I have been using their headers and one of the stubby cans for about 4 years now and I have no complaints especially when you factor in the price differential.

End cans tend to shed their baffles but I haven`t worried about it yet and MOT`s have been fine.

Oh and @Trace they are Soo cheap ! 

[Stu]

Unfortunately they don't do an end can for my bike otherwise I would have got one too 

 

I could have got any can and got a link pipe made but I couldn't be arsed to mess about

Are these pipes in any way affiliated to this fine biking outfit 'the black widows'
