Hi Mark,

In answer to your queries,

Definately VALUE FOR MONEY,

I feel it has increasd the TORQUE noticeably,

The note has made it sound THROATY, but not noisy.

The muffler has a GREAT FINISH with the rolled tip.

I have had a couple of good rides since fitting the muffler, and find the torgue just amazing. Lofts the front wheel out of corners and just winds on without breaking traction. Hill climbs are easier as it pulls better down low also - my previous ride was a 97 XR600 so i know a little bit about pulling power. I would gladly recommend it to anyone,..[ask Mark for my phone number].

Thanks again Mark

Mark - had first ride last w/end since your muffler mod - excellent! I'm not sure that it has improved the bottom end that much but certainly has improved the mid range. The note is very good - meaty without being loud. Overall i'm very happy with the result and think a much better option that spending some $800 on a 'loud' aftermarket exhaust! I would recommend it for all WR250 riders.

Dear Mark

I just wanted to email you quickly and let you know that the modifications you performed on my 2005 WR450’s muffler are awesome! It’s the best money I have spent on the bike so far by a long way. The noise is a lot deeper but it is definitely not offensive and as I ride it on the road as well it is perfect. It has given me a lot smoother power delivery as well with a noticeable difference in power all the way though the range.

I also wanted to thank you for the quick turn around time. Even over Xmas it was all done and back on my bike within a week. Not bad considering it was sent from NSW. So thank again for all your help and I’ll definitely recommend you to anyone looking for an exhaust

Yours Sincerely
