Unfortuneately HotBike removed the link to the article, however JoeP was smart enough to copy it and put in on his own personal home page. I'm sure he won't mind if I post his link here.
Joe, let me know if it's ok to leave it here, if not, I'll remove it.
Thanks

***Edit*** don't forget, this article was from 2010, so some newer to the market exhaust systems were not available at that time.

I have had issues with my website over the last couple of months.

I had a low-dollar account on GoDaddy, then they abruptly decided to shut down that service and stick me with $30/month for my websites. I run 5 of them, so that adds up.

I told GoDaddy to stick it, so they shut my sites down.

I moved to a new host SmarterAsp.net. Most of the tech support is in India and typically only provides basic answers (i.e. Yes or No).

It took a very long time, but I finally managed to get all of my domain names moved over. A few failed on the first attempt, but I wasn't able to learn this until I got the failure notice 10 days later. Try, try again.

Then, it turned out the new host was on a newer .Net Framework (GoDaddy was 3.5, SmarterAsp.net is on 4.5). A lot of things on the jp2code.net website were really messed up because of this, namely because it is actually 2 websites. jp2code.net is one, and jp2code.net/xr is very different. The newer .Net Framework didn't give as much slack as the older 3.5 version, and it took me a really long time to figure out what exactly was going on.

Long story short: The website should be back up. If anyone has any issues with it, please feel free to report them to me. I'm a decent software developer, but a shitty software tester. I rely on feedback to know something is broken.

If you read all of this and didn't understand it, don't worry. I don't always know what I'm saying anyway.

Just FYI, though: In the newer .Net Framework, you cannot name your namespace the same as your folder name. Namespace "jp2code.net.xr" causes a conflict with the folder "jp2code.net/xr". That took forever to figure out, because most developers do not create completely separate websites in the same spot.

If I recall, Streettracker did test one or two other pipes after this, and posted his results on this forum.

I wouldn't think there would be much difference in power, but the stainless are hard to find now not sure if they are even making them anymore. I have had the black widows for one season and the headers are already discolouring I would strongly recommend ceramic coating them before you even install to prevent this. If I were to do it all over again I would probably go with a Termi.


Good luck with your decision, new exhaust makes a huge difference.
