Great. Did you remap anything yet? If not have you noticed any stalling issues?

I dont want mine too loud but as it stands now it has a similar sound to my lawn mower.

Duke. The previous owner did the airbox mod and I thought it would affect things. It did not at all, there was no popping, stalling issues at all, actually it held an idle better than the stock muffler,.I always had a fluctuation In Idle and now it holds steady, the sound is sweet, .not to loud and I have the db killer out. It sounds like a ktm under you know not a singer sewing machine

Hey Dutch,

Can I ask where you bought it? Not too many places seem to sell it for the Duke. I did notice that Leo Vince does sell it direct.

OK after studying the few exhausts available for the Duke and your review coupled with a 20% off sale until the end of Oct I ordered one. Cant wait!

I just checked the leo vince usa website and they list it for $629. Not only is that not a sale but it's almost $200 more than Sidewinder paid. WTF?

I paid $499, no tax plus shipping. Total cost $519.20 to my door. Leo Vince's website is not the best site in the world and they dont advertise the 20% off price very well. It's only when you get to a certain point in checkout does it mention the sale. They tell you the price you see will not be charged to you ($629). I found this very strange so instead of ordering it online, I called them direct to order. Thats when they confirmed the $499 price so I ordered it.
