Default Leo Vince Carbon Fiber Exhaust

So, I received my Leo Vince Carbon Fiber Exhaust system today, and I must say, they look saweet! I paid $608 for them, which I thought was a little high in price compared to say the Scorpion Carbon fiber cans, but i liked the look and sound a little better with the Leos. I got a bit of a surprise though as I was assembling them in my room. It appears that with the system, they ship a cat eliminator pipe! Now the price doesnt seem all that bad! My only concern now is, will I need to tune my bike with a PCIII, or just not worry about it? I have the stock intake. And since I know yall will say it, here are some pics .

Is the Leo Vince only one can? Every picture I've seen it only shows one can. I was going to order a pair but always thought the pictures were wrong.

ahh thanks. All the picture angles I found of the Leos were bad. Plus they have a not so good website, and it said they didn't even have a FZ6 exhaust. I would have liked those as they look really nice and the cat eliminator is pretty sweet to be included.

The only problem I ahve with them at the moment is the pipes angle. You might be able to tell in that last picture i posted. When I level off the left side pipe with the right side pipe, the left pipe isnt very straight.

IE, the back of the exhaust, where the air flows into has maybe a 1 inch gap between the two pipes. At the exit of the exhuast it is maybe a 1/2 inch of a gap between the 2 pipes. Not sure if it is supposed to be that way, guess I will find out when I put them on tomorrow!

that's a little bit of a difference but I don't think it'll be a problem.

The stock exhaust covers have a taper to them. Maybe that's the reason for the gap.

Maye, Im sure its not that big of a deal. The main thing im worried about is putting on the cat eliminator and having the bike run too lean.

Hey Randomchaos, where did you get the Leos? 608 sounds pretty good for a CF exhaust compared to others like 2 brothers.

www.a-zpowersellers.com had free shipping too. They have the scorpion CFs for even cheaper.

Looking to install them tonight when I get home from work. Will do before and after picuters, as well as before and after sound/video clips, onboard and walkarounds. Just wish it was a little warmer outside today!
