    Hey Guys,
    Couldn't keep it to myself.
    I just installed a set of Leo's on my bike.
    The sound is awesome tried it with and without baffles. They're in a bag
    in the closet. Nice rumble.
    Added a PCIII to it as well. (w/ O2 Eliminators)
    and a new BMC Air Filter.
    Took her for a spin to test everything.
    I don't know if I gained anything but the Seat of the pantsometer
    indicated WOW.
    I am using The STaintune Map and I am taking it to the DynoJet Dist
    here next week to have a custom map done on her. I'll post the resulrs when that is done
    I will say the Vtec Transition (which I loved Felt like turbo boost to me) is barely noticeable
    She also Lost an easy 12 lbs going from steel to carbon Fiber
    The install was not bad
    1. PCIII 15 min excellent instructions loading maps in PCIII simple $245.00
    2. BMC airfilter 20 min and a stubby phillips screwdriver $76.00
    3. Leo Vince CF SBK EVO II- 2 hours
    a. LEO's instructions written in every lang. known to man, short and to the point
    remove OE replace with LEO That pretty much describes them
    b. had a picture worth 10000 words in this instance although you only got 20 words
    c. Complaints: instructions line up of pipes was difficult. socket head screws for hanger could have been 1/4" longer would have made it easier.
    d. Did I mention that they sound AWESOME and they were worth every penny of the $684.00 i spent
    I'll wash her up and take some pics and post them in my gallery and I'll try making a sound clip. I'll close with this:
    BMC air filter---------------------------$76.00
    PCIII power commander----------$245.00
    Leo Vince CF SBK EVO II-------$684.00
    My 06 Pearl White HondaVFR800-------------------Priceless
    I am loving it :spider:

    Whered you find the PCIII for that price??? Ill get one too!

    Also, I want to do a new air filter too, is BMC the way to go or K&N? I dont want this to turn into another "Oil Thread" but if one is better for a real reason, I would love to know!

    I love the Leo vince's but reeeeaaallly love the look of the Laser Exhaust...

    enjoy that bike!

    I agree, a PC-3 for $240? Nice. Where'd you score a deal like that. I'd buy one in a heartbeat at that price.

    Reg might wanna chime in - I sold him my new K&N cheap :redface: and went with the BMC. Why? Well because the K&N doesnt use the entire surface area availiable - about the last 3 inches of surface area is blocked off solid. The BMC uses the entire area available and would thus seem to allow more flow. Wish I had photos to show. - Confessions of a Pro Geek.

    I agree with mellow dude, i was shocked to see when i went to install my K&N filter, and the stock filter had more surface area!!! I've never seen the BMC filter, so take your word for it. SO, i'd have to say, get the BMC filter.

    Pciii

    I bought the PCIII in April in a group buy from Cyclemart in Dallas TX.
    When I was still researching pipes I had ordered a set of Micron CF from Exotic Sportbikes After almost 12 weeks i had no pipes had to get the VISA people to chargeback the purchase. So I sat on the PCIII for all this time .

    Ordered the Leo's from MorePowerracing.com . They had to backorder the pipes from italy. they emailed me when they found out told me it could take 3 -6 weeks wanted to know what i wanted to do. they it took about four weeks. shipping is free with them always (over $100). they kept me informed did not have ask or call they have a low price guarantee too they are great guys. I will try to add pics and a sound clip to my gallery

    I got mine for morepower also. Great service too.

    Don't you just love the quality of the CF? It's so thick and stout, not like the thin stuff I've been accustom to on other makes of pipes.
