Too funny, I was just thinking that it looked like something I would make with scrap parts laying around the shop.

That square "bar stock" mounting bracket is priceless!! I get that stuff from Home Depot all the time when I want to quickly prototype a bracket.

How can someone even compare the LEXX with its modular tip design, rubber isolated wrap around mounting bracket, spring mounted slip fit cannister design and "megaphone" transition from the mid pipe to the cannister.

lol that exhuast doesnt look that bad the lexx exhaust looks like something hotwheels would make imo no offense to anyone who runs lexx

It appears people buy exhaust for looks, not power...???

almost all aftermarket pipes with the correct rejeeting will make more power , and lexx doesnt make the most power or look the best imo but is a great low buck exhaust that is fairly quiet if i was looking for a pipe i would buy a lexx just because there cheap and quiet

I'm a proud owner of the Phoenix slip-on. Any pipe I buy from now on will be a Phoenix. I love the look, I think the factory shorty looks very streetfighter like. The price is amazing $190.00 with shipping to where I live (Las Vegas). The power gains were tremendous. I was already running a modified stock pipe with jetting and the minute I put on the Phoenix it was like a different bike. The sound is outstanding, very loud and deep, does not sound bottled-up or restrictive at all. It might not have a famous name or a shiny appearance like some of the other pipes, but I would be amazed if anyone could show me a better value or a better performing slip-on
