HOLESHOT Prototype Slip On Test Run
As mentioned in other posts, I finally have the Holeshot's prototype slip on system. Here is my feedback from my 17 mile ride to work this morning.
- Nice throaty sound at idle
- Throaty sound starts to taper off to a nice mellow tone as you get off of idle and into the mid-range.
-From mid-range to redline the sound stays nicely mellow all the way to redline.
-Mild popping on deceleration which is normal when you swap stock to aftermarket, althought the popping is fairly faint.
-Performance -- hold on to the handlebars, the beast within has awaken!..from idle to midrange to redline has pepped up ALOT! Response and power is very very obvious throughout the RPM range. I likey alot!:crazyloco
The prototype can uses a 2" core. A smaller core will tame the throatiness down. I believe he may go with a smaller core and offer a choice in cores. (the stock can/mid pipe weighed in at 19.5 lbs !!)
As for me, I like the sound of the 2", I don't feel it's loud at all. Would be interesting to get a DB reading on it which I know Dale has a DB meter. I would say the prototype is 90db if that.
Check out his website and watch the cool videos, I saw them last night and they were pretty fascinating:

At what rpm are you getting the 90 db. ? If there that quite I want one and a header a pc to go with it. How does it look without the aircraft cannon? I bet witha header/exhaust change your talking 25-30 lb.savings. It was 32lb on my zx-14 but it had 2 cannons, so probably around 25lb reduction.
