Rumble in the Desert



Just got my new Leo Vince exhaust pipe from Italy installed today. From the Leo Vince website:

"LeoVince USA is a division of Sito Gruppo Industriale based in Monticello d'Alba, Italy. Sito is the largest exhaust manufacturer in Europe and brings 50 years of passion and experience to their complete product line (e.g., "Scoot" for scooters). Pietro Mollo founded Sito Gruppo, the parent company of LeoVince USA, in 1954 when he set up a workshop in nearby Turin to manufacture his first exhaust. The current factory (now in Monticello d'Alba) encompasses almost 200,000 square feet and employs over 120 skilled technicians and support staff. Since those humble beginnings, Sito has expanded sales and distribution around the world under the guidance of Gianni, Pietro's son. Today Sito and the LeoVince brand utilize the most modern technologies and manufacturing processes but all products still possess the unique hands-on craftsmanship that LeoVince is famous for. "

I still have to wait to break in the exhaust pipe, which means I'm not supposed to take it above 65 mph until I run through two tanks of gas. But already I can sense the improved acceleration and can't wait to see where it goes once I go full throttle. The pipe gives off a good rumble, not too loud, but let's you know who's boss.
