What’s up guys? Check it out! Check it out! I have a new modification for the Cbr one thou RR today. I know, I know, Termignoni? This ain’t a Yamaha…

The Devil Exhaust is crazy deep and loud: exactly how I like my exhausts to sound. However, some of my neighbors have complained about the noise since I sometimes come home late at night (or early in the morning, whichever way you want to look at it).

So I’m trying out this Termignoni slip on in titanium. Definitely higher quality than the Devil in terms of welding and material quality, but the sound is not as satisfying.

What pissed me off the most was the Termignoni logo on the can. It’s friggin’ sticker for Pete’s sake! With the amount they charge for their products, the least they could do was give it a decent badge!

In addition to the new end can, I also installed an integrated tail light from the Dr. X Hotswap program.

It’s actually pretty nifty. There are numerous programmable LED flashing combinations to choose from. There is a switch that I mounted on the side of my fairing that allows me to shut off the lights to the bike altogether. Great, er get away tool…

I’ll bet that feature comes in pretty handle when outrunning cops at night. I can also make it flash red and blue, just like the cops. Shhh…. Muahahaha!

The installation was a bit more tricky than standard plug and play integrated turn signal tail lights out there. but then again, none of those look this good. There are almost an infinite amount of color combination and sequences to choose from. You will also have to drill into your fairings or mount the switch somewhere on your bike that is accessible while you are riding.

Till next time guys, stay tuned for more updates!

        Today I installed a stainless steel slip on exhaust with real carbon fiber sleeve from Devil Exhausts. I took off the Db killer insert and man did it make a difference in sound! Look at how mean it looks! They named the pipe Magnum for a reason!

        I made an ugly but temporary license plate holder out of wire. It won’t stay still but it’ll do for now. I’ll put up a sound clip soon.
