I dont but I have a buddie with a special edition 14 that is about to order a set, I will let you know how they sound! Might be a week or so. I am pretty sure there is someone who has them on here, I remember a thread where a guy recommended them.

yes
I have them on my 06 14 for a few weeks now. They're way louder than stock, and a bit louder than my very modded ZX11 w/ Micron exh. The sound is a deep sound, not a "tinny" or low quality sound.
They are much lighter than stock, obviously, and I'm sure they're less restrictive. I have the flies out + PC3, using the stock exh. & no flies map. The only available M4 map was significantly leaner than stock below 7k, so I've left the stock/no flies map in. It runs fine and is probably a little fat below 7k. Above 7k there's very little difference in the maps, I compared this one and the M4 slipons map ( for a bike with the flies installed ).
Aesthetically, they have a great "look" and their finish is very good. I got mine used and the deal was too good to pass up.
The only thing I dislike about them: Fit.
The install took just over an hour. Basically, the LH exhaust pipe does not have a long enough relief to fit fully on to the stock header. It will install to a point of "close enough" leaving about 3/4" between the mount hole & pipe hanger. I was eventually able to cajole it into place.

Got pics of the M4's at

Scroll to the bottom, they're thumbnails and open to larger images.
Since I don't clean exhausts, this is the cleanest anyone will ever see them again... Even so, you can see they look pretty sharp and don't "show" much road grime, etc.

What's the latest info on a map? I've got an '07 with PCIII and M4s on the way soon.
I was thinking of using the Muzzy slip-ons and flies out map. You try this yet?
Thanks

I've seen them in pictures and as far as slip ons go I think they look very good!

Check with Brock... He may have an Alien Head dual slip-on system in the works.

I picked up another map from a forum user at zx14ninja.com and installed it on my 14. I can only say tentatively that the map works much better than the stock / no flies map down low. it was for a 14 w/ no flies & Yosh slip ons. I haven't had it on in the heat yet but so far so good. I did a map compare and it's slightly leaner up top, and underneath the flies opening it's pretty close to stock.

I asked Brock about these not too long ago and here was his response:
"We should have them in stock soon. If maps are needed. We will provide them at no charge. We are still in the test stages. We will also have smegs and new short megs."

I'm sure he'll post when either of these are ready...he's defintely got his hands full right now.
