Finally got to hear some CFRs in person....I AM SOLD!!!!!
No sound clip, video, or anything I have seen to date does justice to these pipes. I was at the dealership a few days ago and while we were standing around outside this guys fires his bike up from about 20 yards away. I swung my head around so fast I nearly broke my neck! DAMM these bad boys were RUMBLING! After what I had read about the CFRs I thought immediately these had to be them. Sure enough, we walked over and I was right. These things sounded AWESOME! Deep, I MEAN DEEEEEEP rumble! No sharp cracks with twisting the throttle or on riding away.
As far as loudness, they are for sure not your grandma's pipes, but I found them far from obnoxious. Like someone else said, it may be due to how low the pitch is, but even when he got on it a little bit, I still did not think they were plug your ears loud.
With that said, I am finding a vendor STAT and ordering these ASAP.
On a side note, I have changed my mind about the tuner. I have decided to take the leap and try out the EMS from RevPerformance. Given the fact that I know nothing about motors and tuning, this thing looks to be perfect for me. From the research I have done, there has been a very positive reception for this device. Also, the price seems very reasonable from our on site vendors.
Will keep everyone posted on my progress and outcomes!
