Okay gents...
You asked for pics, you got 'em... you asked for pics on the bike, you got 'em, you asked for a sound clip, here it is... Thanks to Cory....
This was done much like the other clips on Speedy's site... 6 feet away parallel to the bike.
I will also get a sound clip during the dyno run in a few weeks... and some fly bys when I get a camera operator...
Make sure you are listening to this on good quality PC speakers, good headphones (pressed against your ears to hear the bass), your iPod/MP3 player or on your home/car stereo.

...but you haven't asked how to install it yet, but you're going to get it anyway...
Step 1... Remove current pipe... refer to your shop manual for the stock pipe... and remove the valve cables from the rear exhaust valve and tie them back out of the way... or reverse install non-stock pipes per the instructions that you probably lost in the garage somewhere...okay, let's get serious now...
Step 2... Remove the seat and tail fairing...
Step 3... Remove the right side passenger peg and rearset (let it hang)...
Step 4... Remove the stock plastic or MrGrn carbon heat shield...
Step 5... Remove the long stock aluminum or MrGrn long carbon heat shield...
Step 5... Remove the passenger seat/seat cowl rear holder to give a little more room to work underneath the plastic pan (allows you to lift the rear a bit)...
3026
Step 6... Remove the bolt and nut from the rear subframe...
3027
Step 7... Leave the stock short pipe that comes up from the collector on the bike and slide the two small clamps down onto the tube in the orientation I show here... with the adjusting nut toward the rear and the two welded mounting nuts/screws facing out...but don't tighten them yet! Don't forget this step now or you'll have to take everything apart when you want to mount the new carbon heat shield.
3028
Step 8... Now slide the mid-pipe onto the short pipe making sure it is fully seated, and check the orientation to match the second photo below from behind...
3029 3030
Step 9... Now install the main hangers with the long nut/bolt/spacers, noting the offset on the hangers must be toward the center of the bike. The order of assembly from the right to left is... bolt, washer, hanger, spacer, subframe, spacer, hanger, washer, locknut... leaving everything loose for now...
3031
Step 10... Note that the cans are marked left and right, and the mounting clamps are already oriented as they should be once installed, with the nut at the center and facing down... loosen the clamp and slide the left can on first through the hanger from the rear making sure it is fully on the new mid-pipe and rotated to your desired orientation...using the rivets as a guide, but don't tighten anything yet. You should have the carbon fender eliminator in the hanger before sliding the pipe through... I didn't mount it for this temporary install...
3032
Step 11... Slide the second can through the rear of the right hanger, probably the most difficult part of the install (loosen the clamp)...be patient and push on the left side of the hanger mounting nut to expand the right hanger opening as you feed the can through... the rubber protective strip may try to catch on the hanger... but it will go... and of course make sure the fender eliminator is seated properly as well...
3033
Step 12... You're almost there!!! Now you can tighten only the main bolt with a 13MM pair of socket wrenches where the hangers attach to the subframe (above), but make sure once more that you are happy with the rotational orientation of the cans... and it should look like this...but don't tighten the can clamps yet...
3034 3035
Step 13... Re-mount the seat/cowl catch, then the tail fairing/seats back onto the bike and tighten all 3 of the clamps holding the cans to the mid-pipe and the mid-pipe to the shorty pipe... but don't tighten the hose clamps on the shorty pipe yet... it's starting to take shape...
3037
Step 14... Remove the screws and washers from the two welded nuts on the hose clamps (already on the shorty pipe) that will mount the new carbon fiber heat shield. This is a little tricky, especially if you have fat fumble fingers, but position the two clamps so that the welded nuts face directly out at approximately the height you will mount the carbon shield...using the holes on the shield for positioning and gently tighten the clamps leaving just enough play to make adjustments as you mount the heat shield. The washers will go between the heat shield and the welded nut, so starting with the bottom hole, hold the washers behind it as you run the screw through and get it into the nut... I dropped the washers a couple of times, but a little patience will pay off here. Once you get the bottom one in, do the same to the top...adjusting the clamp as necessary. Once you've got both screws in and tight, slide and twist the heat shield until you are happy with the position... I've got it cranked toward the front to show you the assembly in this pic... and tighten the clamps...
3036
Step 15... Re-attach the rearset, the passenger peg if you use it...step back and admire your work... you've done it!!!
Congratulations on the successful install of your new Taylormade Dual Slip-on CCT exhaust...!!!
That's Hot!!! No, that's Cool Ceramic Technology...
