hi there, wondering if anyone can help me out? Just bought a 2010 buell xb12sx, just racked up 2000 miles and now thinking of changing the exhaust for something with a bit of grunt, but which exhaust? ive been looking at the d&d exhaust?
would it affect the engine management? cheers

Oh dear, what a difficult question...

If it was mine, I would junk the headers (too small) and buy either a set of US headers or pre-08 UK headers (these are the same as the US headers but need a lambda boss welding on). I think there are some in the for sale section.

Then I would fit an Albert666 (see THIS post - you will have to trawl through the 1125 pictures and chat), a Remus (not everyone's favourite), a Free Spirits or a Stealth (never had one but they seem to be popular)... All these need to be to fit a pre-08 bike to fit the headers... And all the above are stainless, which is a must as a painted exhausts don't last long before they go rusty...

Alternatively, PM tubbs and ask him to rework a standard exhaust for you. Again, I would go for a pre-08 muffler to go with the headers.

As for fuelling, depends who you ask. If you ask me, I would say:

Cant get involed in technical decisions but i can reccomend Alberts exhaust as i had one made for my xb12x in August/Sept excellent quality .

or, this thread:- viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8261

albert makes a lovely can

Yes an Albert is the one to go for. As Pash says though, get some bigger header pipes first. That's what I did well before I started looking at aftermarket cans. Alan's work really is first class. The can looks great and sounds just right - not too cheeky but you can hear me coming. I also asked Alan to make mine without the chin spoiler brackets as I prefer the look of the XB Lightning without it. I suspect I'm not the only one who thinks that.
