LeoVince Exhausts

Post by icebreaker »

Well after much deliberation, I'm looking at ordering myself a can after pay day..

I'm looking at a Leovince, in the alloy finish.. Looking at the cheapest finish, because if i decide to upgrade to a full system down the track, I haven't wasted heaps on the can, for such a short period.

Not having heard a LeoVince, I was hoping someone could give me some feed back as to how loud it was, and whether the note was nice...

I've head Mario's Art, and I do like it, i've heard Corby's Yoshi, Orlando's Micron, so just trying to get someone's comparison and thoughts...


Thanks guys,

Yeah I have been..

Was looking for people impressions on them though, as the site itself doesn't give much details in terms of what i want to know...

They don't even show pics of the can's with different skins.. they just show a pick of the 3 skins, so you can imagine it yourself.. stupid IMO..

I quite like the Art, but they 2 emails to 2 distributors, and 1 site enquiry and I still have no response... so F' them i guess.. They obviously don't want a sale..


My ideal choice is the Hindle complete system for just under $750Aus less freight... But I think I'll just go the can $$$$$$$$$ .. *sighs*

I got to compare the Yoshi on my 98 ZX9R against a mates LeoVince on a 2001 ZX9R and my Yoshi was a bit louder and a bit deeper sounding. There wasn't much in it though :lol:

Dan,

My other half works about 2 mins from Metro's and has said she can take a couple of digital piccies if you like.

If you line it up with them, and find out what time they close she can duck down on her way home, or maybe at lunchtime and get the pics.
