Yup, great bang-for-buck upgrade!

But that looks like a lot of exhaust for the money, holy cow. I mean compare it to DanMoto or whatever that cheap junk is that used to sell on ebay.

I put the mounting bracket on the back side of the peg, where the stock exhaust mount was; others put it on the outside. I wonder how many people just slapped all the parts together (there were no instructions, not even crappy Engrish ones, included) and forced things into position, putting lots of stress on the welds.

Yeah, you can't have any residual stresses on parts. Everything should be fitted so they are in place with all bolts loose. Then bolts just keep it from falling off, but shouldn't be used to force things into position.
