I came very close to buying the Prima pipe when I had my Buddy in for its 1500 mile service. For the money, it looks like a really high quality piece and it looks very, very good in person. I really like the fact that it's a complete system with header and not just a slip-on silencer.

If my Stella test ride doesn't convince me to move on, I'll probably add the pipe this autumn.

Does anyone know how much it weighs? The stock one weighs a ton.

what is the noise level difference from your wife's stock pipe to your aftermarket?

I love the flaming skull decal. Understated yet BADASS!

Since you've got the Prima and your wife's got the stock pipe, I've gotta know...

Which one's faster? Top speed or low end grunt?

I've got the same question. Do tell. I'll also chime in that it looks awesome on the red Buddy! Heck, any color Buddy!

She weighs less than me so hers is faster, I keep up a little better now though. I definitely noticed more top end power

Just to be clear - the Prima is that much lighter, right?

I noticed you've removed the cooling fan shroud from the Buddy with the Prima pipe, but not the Missus' Buddy. Is that removal part of the installation for the Prima? Or did you remove it for cosmetic reasons?

twharton · Post by **twharton** » Fri Sep 21, 2007 3:34 pm

The shroud removal is not required to install the Prima pipe.

Must be simply cosmetic then? I'd like to pluck that shroud off my wife's SI. Anyone else done? No ill effects or overheating issues? It's kinda lame, pointing down at the pavement and dirt.....at least point it forward for better, cooler airflow?

OK, I'm probably missing the point. Is that fan shroud where the fan exhausts the cooling air, or is it where it draws the air?

If it is an air intake shroud, I'd think it should be pointed towards the back so as to minimize dust and particle intake.

If it is an exhaust shroud, I'd pipe it up through the floorboards to keep my toes warm in winter ...

It IS the air intake shroud that covers (barely) the cooling fan on the right side near the exhaust header. It only fits on one way...pointing down. Took it off tonight, looks a lot better.
