Very nice sound - and should sound even meaner with the Xpipe fitted!Posted by Zard an hour ago or so lol.
Definitely has some serious rumble and depth to it without the DB killer in there]
I trust your audio judgement (as per our private messages...)Over the iPhone it sounds.....not good. Will have to listen on the pc.
Thanks! Listened to it over pc speakers and with headphones.I trust your audio judgement (as per our private messages...)
If you say the sound is bad, I will not consider the Zards.
Look forward to your opinion!! :smile2:
Thanks for your input. You do have a great ear for that (unlike mine !)Thanks! Listened to it over pc speakers and with headphones.
Sounds a lot better than over the phone for sure.....however, there is an odd down tick to it when decreasing in RPM and it sounds a little raspy at times. Not sure about the baffle removal either...they still look to be in there on the non-homogolated (spelling) one....would have thought that little "exhaust tip in the middle" would be gone.
I honestly think that this recording just simply isn't a good one. There was another Zard vid posted by another member (appeared to be from somewhere in Asia, the vid) and it sounded a lot better than this.
So my judgement is - "Hey Zard, record a higher quality video/sound bite.....and also one wit the bike under a load...and also one with the mic about 9 feet from the back!"
I wouldn't count this exhaust out yet, but also wouldn't use this vid as a reason to buy it. I woujld say to though, that from what I have heard of the two vids, Xpipe on this would likely make it sound brutal.
The cat is all connected. That silver circle in the middle is where there is the grommet a pin from the car, or the xpipe, goes.Thanks for your input. You do have a great ear for that (unlike mine !)
I saw that Asian vid too (attached below). If you skip to 0.38s it looks like part of the cat has been left disconnected??????
I´m no mechanic, but it looks incomplete to me...

So i had better not pursue any dreams of becoming a mechanic :surprise:The cat is all connected. That silver circle in the middle is where there is the grommet a pin from the car, or the xpipe, goes.
This video also shows the exhaust without the little exhaust inserts/tips.
So far, I like the looks of this exhaust the best. hope Zard, or someone else, puts out some better sound bites.
The ' asian ' vid shows no db-killers. Looks totally open.The Zard vid clearly shows the db killers in during both videos?
I think the Asians have the right idea!The ' asian ' vid shows no db-killers. Looks totally open.
The official zard shows race db-killers and then road legal db killers.
