before you jump me for not searching!

I have searched this forum, two others, and the Internet on the whole. I followed the Sticky and searched, but it wasn't my friend... Anyway, I am trying to find input from anyone who has Lloydz slip ons or have heard them first hand. There's one video on YouTube of the pipes, but that's it. I would like to compare it to V&h or the in-famous (the 3 Amigos reference) Miller Mufflers. Barring any financial misfortune, I'll have an XCT in place of my Highball. I know I'm putting the cart before the horse, but I'm excited like a little kid, and that hasn't happened in 20 years. I'm gonna milk this as long as I can
I appreciate any input!

Contrary to what others may preach, these forums would collapse if people didn't ask questions.

I followed up some search engine results and they weren't what I'd hoped. Seems like the Lloydz slip ons would have more users than what I've found. About the only product from him that I've heard backlash about is the adjustable air valve. That was one guy on here if I remember correctly.

I know that Lloydz just came out with those pipes a few months ago. They haven't been on the market for very long at all. If there is one thing I know about Lloydz products, it's that you can bet it's a quality performance-first product.
About the only product from him that I've heard backlash about is the adjustable air valve. That was one guy on here if I remember correctly.
That's my feeling as well.

The fella that posted the youtube video noted in the comments that he had the quiet baffles in for the video. He's a member of the v0g. Stated in May that he was going to do a ride by video. Still no video yet.

For a LOT less money, the Gonzo mufflers are very, very good. Sold on an exchange basis. He has two models available: The Gonzo and the Big Gonzo. If I were to buy new mufflers for my CCT, I'd very likely go with the Big Gonzo's.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Tri Ovals for fit, finish, sound and performance. But the price is certainly a turn off. The Gonzo's are simply your oem mufflers re-done. So any of the tips you may like are a simple bolt on.

Miller Mufflers here! i am Drew Miller of miller mufflers, i have a couple different videos i can try to post or email, or possibly have a set near you you could hear in person, as far as i know i am the lowest price out there, also work on an exchange type deal. i have a few customers here on the forum, and many on facebook, i have a few pics of customers dyno sheets, and can provide a loaner map for a pcv if needed. let me know if i can help!

I can vouch for Miller Mufflers they are high quality and great sounding! 12k on mine and they are still sounding better all the time! Customer service is excellent as well! Drew is a regular on here and a wealth of useless... Oops I meant useful knowledge!
 
#10 ·
plenty of uselessness too though! haha

(the 3 Amigos reference)

Seriously....that was funny ****, I almost spit my coffee :grin

doobliss, Its your money...feel free to spend more of it than you have too and get unknown results. I'm sure Llyodz are decent but mufflers are mufflers, he's not packing his with magic fairy dust that will make them better than anything else.
For far less money you can get a set of Miller Mufflers with known excellent power and sound characteristics and a set of tips to suit your style.

This is great guys, thanks so much! On a different note, if you haven't watched the three amigos, you really need to. It's up there with sleeping and eating.

Ask questions and ignore the naysayers. Someone has to be a curmudgeon I guess.

I have the Atom Bombs on my bike, sound great and perform well. If I remember correctly Rylan likes them for performance also. They're just cored stock mufflers

It seems like a recore is a popular way to go. It isn't popular for bad reasons, so it MUST be good. While we are on the subject of changing things, I could get away with the timing wheel and exhaust WITHOUT a tune right? Ultimately, I'd like to have the lloydz filter, wheel, pcv, and exhaust.
 
#17 ·
yes you can run the timing wheel and slip ons. unplug the O2sensors and look at pulling the weatherstripping/bulb seal from under the tank at the front of the air cleaner too

Anyone pull their cats with these? I know that's a whole debate just like an oil thread, but I've asked so many questions, why not keep up the trend.
 
#19 ·
You will lose serious low end grunt by removing your cats with absolutely no positive benefit to counteract the loss .....
 
#20 ·
Is that based off of personal experience Mags? Or someone else's? To clarify, I'm not asking in a negative way, I'm just a curious S.O.B.
 
#21 ·
leave the cats in, the system was designed and works best with them in.
Text Line Pattern Design Parallel

squatches dyno, blue line, no cats, red line, cats

Text Line Font Design Parallel


two bikes, same setups, dynod by KevinX same day same dyno, blue line no cats, red line cats.

That's impressive to say the least. Wish the damned things didn't kick out so much heat. It was a problem on my highball. I replaced the cats with baffles for some back pressure. The wife always got a hot right foot, not anymore. The steel framed bikes got an after thought cat, from what I understand anyway.
 
#24 ·
yep steel frames pull the cats.

or by going with some true duals
 
#27 · (Edited)
True. The rear pipe routing doesn't rub me the right way though. The kingpin version by Hacker Pipes follows the lines of the motor better, but there's no passenger foot peg in the way of course. Seems like getting at the kickstand would result in a boot sole leaving marks on the pipe. Wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong though
 
#28 ·
nope your not to far off
 
#29 ·
If I am not mistaken the RPW true duals are routed a little better and look fairly "factory" as far as following lines, fitment etc... I contemplated those and the Bassani 2:1 this was all prior to my Miller Mufflers though. I bought the Millers for a temporary fix but after adding some sweet tips from Vicbaggers I really love them. The thing I like the most about the Millers is there is no drone on the highway and they are quiet at start up but really bark when you get on the throttle! For anyone buying Millers make sure you cut the outlet tip off prior to install it really deepens the sound at idle and on the throttle. The large Vicbaggers tips help make the Millers deeper and louder as well. 4" diesel exhaust tips work the same for all you chrome loving guys.

Did you cut the outlet flush with the can or just a few inches off?
 
#31 ·
my first sets i left the outlet longer, so travisps and lilmags are/were longer, i have since shortened it to 2" sticking out, i do this to keep them from sooting up the tips like the ones with the flush cut ones do.
