update: after 2 and a half hours of struggling with rusty nuts and bolts in -5C, losing tools, and calling in my roommate to help hold some stuff I finally got the front pipe on ... the yamaha dealer I had previously gone to gave me the wrong size of exhaust gasket for the rear pipe so I couldn't put it on tonight. Getting that front pipe on was a challenge that's for sure sheeeesh edit - update #2: took a trip to the yamaha dealer today and got the right gasket, the rear pipe went on in under 5 minutes it was so easy and straight forward. I think it's a little too cold to get started right now so I couldn't get it running to sample the new sound here's it completed

gotta do what ya gotta do man, should be an awesome time!

I'm still not convinced you're not the original Fr Peckles

I'll try and get a video of a before and after if I can figure out how to upload it lol

update: pipes will be here Wed the 12th. Can't wait to get those suckers on!

started playing cs back when i was 14ish I think so in my early teenage wisdom I thought it would be cool to make my name the same as my favorite band at the time also pecklez will always be known to me as pickles

MAC pipes have been ordered and are in the mail (was on back order and now shipping from the states so waiting a few more weeks). Sales guy I talked to recommended the rejet but said it wasn't super necessary. I just have to get my hands on some new exhaust gaskets from a momo store and I should be good to go. I'll let you guys know how it goes in a few weeks when I get them on

I was so confused while reading these posts until I checked the time stamp, good times with the lunatics.. blast from the past baabbbbyy

Thanks guys! Did anyone have to rejet the engine after or was it pretty much good to go?

So I plan on purchasing some custom pipes for my vstar 650 (it currently sounds like a lawn mower with the stock pipes lol). Has anybody had any personal experience with 1) MAC custom exhausts (price wise very attractive but I hadn't heard of the company up till a week ago) 2) Self installation (Is it doable for a not very mechanically inclined person or should I bring it to a shop to have it done)

Nah it's not too much , I had been hunting for a few months and this was by far a great deal considering what used v-stars are going for so I just couldn't turn it down.. the thing is I'm in my 8th year of post secondary with no job and a 160K debt load hahaha needless to say my student loan kind of paid for it Thanks!

Well I spent non existent money on something I don't really need ... too late to change it now, whatever, here's my "new" baby 05 vstar 650 with 30Km
