New Spyder Owner Seeking Advice - which Tail-Gunner exhaust do you have on your RT?

[WDSpies]

I just took the plunge into the world of the Spyder. I got an RT Limited. I saw a Spyder yesterday with a Tailgunner exhaust.

I am curious if anyone has installed this on their Spyder and, if so, which one they got - 15" or 22"?

Thanks

I don't have the Tailgunner on my Spyder, but I would think you would have to purchase the one specific for the Spyder.

Regardless of which one you end up with, you're going to get very loud.

:congrats: :welcome: hiya neighbor :doorag: I believe Tail-Gunner has been mentioned or done before on a few Spyders. Sorry I don’t have a link, hopefully someone will home in.

With all due respect, I think it will look silly.

Not only that, they are very raspy sounding as well.

:agree: but each to their own. As a side note, the turrets tend to get gunked up and won't spin.

Yep, I live about 30 miles from a fellow spyder rider who has a tailgunner and I can hear him every time he fires up and leaves his house.

Ours is not to judge.

It’s not, Wolfeman? I always appreciate honest feedback. It helps me enormously with decision making.:thumbup:

I agree wholeheartedly on to each to their own.

Yes, 30 miles is an exaggeration. Several of us left a late evening meeting one summer night and the gentleman with the tailgunner on his spyder left the parking lot first. A mile away down a straight highway on a rise in the road, we could see the light from his headlights and hear his tailginner echoing throughout the evening air. No one likes to ride with him when he runs that muffler. I think he rides a 990.

I am enjoying the OEM on our new to me F3-L. My Victory had modified mufflers that I liked. Not too loud, but I still had to wear ear buds for the radio. My riding buddy of years for trips, had an HD with Cobra Long Shots. He rode behind me by request.

:agree: X's 10 ..... there are already too many bikes with straight pipes ie. Hogs etc. ....JMHO ...Mike :thumbup:

:welcome: They got banned in Australia. Now we have Tailblader's, and just reverse into troublemakers. :trike:

Or real good ears.:yikes:

The Can-Am Akrapovic silencer is around 22 inches not including the pipe that connects to the catalytic converter. Considering that you need a hanger for the Tailgunner to bolt onto the Spyder and the 90 degree or so bent pipe that connects to the catalytic converter, I'm not sure the universal version will work without doing some additional welding on your own. If you are able to make one work it would be interesting to see a write-up and pictures on what it took to get it to work.

I went ahead and ordered the Tailgunner for my 2021 F3 Limited. As a pilot and huge fan of the A-10 Warthog, I could not resist! I will post pics and a link to a video once it is installed.
