Does anyone know what pipe this is on my new bandit 1200? There's a plate on it of some type but it's been painted over.

Stock one cut down? Looks cheaply made and I don't really like the sound of it so far but haven't ridden the bike yet.

looks like a rip-off laser but lasers come in carbonfibre or titanium, if don't like it Tim fuck it off

Planning on it! I want something with a deep tone, this thing's uhhhhmmmmm raspy and loud

Anyone used or heard of these pipes before? Screaming Demon.

yer Screaming Demon make pipes for cbr250's and zxr250s.. they are quite well made and sounded good on my mates cbr250 (even for a honda )

Tim ive got one exactly like that on my 250 and my boss has one on his zx-9... they sounds bloody great!! removable baffle and has a deeeeeep tone!!! bets thing about them is that they are cheap!

Yeah 11 sat morning hope you've been giving the metronome a workout!

Hmm positive feedback for a cheap product what's going on

No one knows they're made in china yet

i thought they were made in WA?

I bought my Ixil from Screaming Demon, was very happy with their service. Some of their other pipes look suspiciously like rebadged Ixil Xtrems (wouldn't be a bad thing by any means, just sayin').

A bit off-topic, but I asked both SD and Ixil about repacking, and both told me Ixils never need it - something about being packed with stainless. Can anyone confirm?

At first glance I though it was one of those supercheap Dan Dan things off eBay, but the badge and curved outlet say otherwise.

Mine is an ixil as well. Nice sound, baffle optional Mines the carbon oval shorty though, don't know much about the others.

As for where they're made, I have no idea, I was just stirring the pot a little.

Other possibilities at the moment:

Holeshot Full system out of the states: around $200-$250 plus rejetting

The best thing you can do to a 1200 Blandit is swap the airbox for pod filters & replace the entire exhaust system, the headers are very small diameter I.D. & weigh approx 4000 Kg, a mate just put a set of Yoshi copy 4-1 headers & a Muzzy link pipe & round section ally can (Muzzy stuff was off my old ZX7) & picked up 18 HP & 14 ft/lbs with el cheapo pods & rejetting - he had to embiggen the pilots, raise the needles all the way & go up about 5 sizes in mains, it's still a bit lean on the needles so he's gunna hafta get a Dynojet/Factory Pro kit. The most impressive bit is that the power & torque increases from 2500 to redline so you even get more bottom end & midrange into the bargain.
There is a lot of power & torque hiding in the standard airbox & exhaust on them things.
He reckons it's a totally different bike to ride now, wheelies off the throttle no worries.
The Bandit motor is seriously detuned from the factory so the sky's the limit, there's another 8 to 10 HP in a set of dialled GSXR 1100 cams, more again if you use 38mm Gixer carbs & another 10+ if you bump the compression up by 1.5 points.
Another mate got 140HP at the wheel from just a full system & a set of Mikuni RS 36 flatslides + K&N pods.
I've got a 1200 Bandit motor in a GS 1000 that I'm building that made 131 RWHP with a Wiseco 1216 kit, Hindle 4-1, pods & a rejet of the standard carbs, remember - stock RWHP is only around 100 - 105 so you get the picture.
Go nuts !
