Honda ST1300 Staintune Slip-Ons. We all know that the factory ST1300 exhaust cans are as ugly as Nick Nolte's mug shot. Here's one sweet looking alternative. Staintune Exhausts are simply the best looking, best sounding exhausts on the market!!... There.. I've said it. Disagree with me? Then you're wrong. Its smaller, quieter, sleeker, has a removable baffle, never needs re-packing, and IMHO.. is simply beautiful. For the ST1300 owner who wants only the best, the Staintunes are hard to beat. Note: According to their literature, Staintune exhausts systems will outlast all others, especially under the high-heat, high-corrosion demands of urban driving. The effort required to use only stainless-steel pays off in the long run for you. Even after the 12-month warranty has expired, small scuffs and surface imperfections can be polished out at any machine shop for a reasonable charge. |
The Australian made 100% Stainless Steel Staintune is the ONLY aftermarket exhaust on the market that features a removable sound restrictor. This allows you to adjust the sound levels to your liking.The 2 piece ST13 Staintune comes in SS Oval only. Pirates' Lair also sells Staintunes for Aprilia, Ducati, Kawasaki, KTM, Moto Guzzi, Suzuki, Triumph, and Yamaha.

INSTALLATION: Not too difficult, and could be accomplished by any owner with a decent set of hand tools. Working carefully you should have the old mufflers off and the new Staintunes in place in about 20 minutes. Line up everything before tightening all the clamps and hangers. The new pipes will fit perfectly. RESULTS: It weighs exactly half as much as did the stock setup--13 pounds vs. 26 pounds. The look is aggressive. Don't bother with a dyno test to check performance gains, because both Staintune and Two Brothers have shown that their systems will give only a small (2-3 hp) increase in horsepower on an otherwise stock bike. Exhaust sound is a very subjective thing, but I like the music played by this system. It comes with a restrictor for each muffler that allows the owner to choose from two different exhaust notes--one just a little louder than stock and the other pretty rowdy. I prefer the quieter sound with the restrictors in place. CLEANING: You may or may not have heard that Staintune pipes turn a golden color after use. This is true. The nature of stainless steel. Some do not like this aspect of it, but in reality, there are at least 4 products on the market that can keep your canister looking new. Staintune's own polish called Liquid Mirror Polish. Wenol or Semi-Chrome Polish are very good, but we prefer Boms Away. Why? It's an unabrasive liquid and is simply easier to use involving less effort/time. It also leaves a glass-like finish on the metal when done. Of course, all of these polishing compounds do require a little "effort" as the main ingredient. Is the 'tune worth it? Absof#*#inlutely! |
