Staintune for the BMW R1200GS

Staintune Exhausts from Australia are simply the best looking, best sounding exhausts on the market!!... There.. I've said it. Disagree with me? Then you're wrong. . It’s smaller, quieter, sleeker, has a removable baffle, never needs re-packing, and IMHO.. is simply beautiful.

The design concept behind the entire Staintune line of exhausts is simple... They are made for real world street riders looking to possess the highest quality system available on the market today.

Staintune's goal... to enhance overall dynamic response during normal street-riding conditions, rather than making boisterous claims to big horsepower increases available only at the highest RPM range at full throttle.

Note: We offer 2 versions for your GS. One for the 2005-07 models including the Adventure and one for the 2008-09 models including the Adventure.

as quoted from July 2005 issue Rider Magazine..."Besides being restrictive, the stock muffler and that short lenght of pipe are quite heavy at 15 lbs. The Staintune scales out at a mere 8lbs, less than 1/2 the stocker. Installation went smoothly, took 30 minutes and the system fit without modifications. Out on the road, the R1200GS revs up more freely with crisper throttle response, which is most noticeable through the midrange.
One of the problems with some aftermarket exhausts today is the ticket-begging loudness of them. The sound level readings for this system are as follows. BMW stock R1200GS: 88db @3250rpm, Staintune with restrictor in: 88db @3250rpm, Staintune with restrictor out: 91db @3250rpm With the restrictor out, the system is still not in ticket territory and shouldn't upset neighbors. Now instread of a muted, choked-off sound, the engine produces a pleasing bass sound somewhat reminiscent of a vintage British twin."


The Australian made 100% Stainless Steel R1200GS 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. (see pic below) You can see the little set screw on the underside.

Pirates' Lair also sells Staintunes for Aprilia, Ducati, Kawasaki, Moto Guzzi, Suzuki, Triumph, and Yamaha.

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.

As these are imported from Australia, it might be a good idea to call us prior to ordering to check on availability.

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. 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!

**** Limited 2010 Supply! ****

Here ye .. Here ye... I got word today, January 21st, 2010 that after the current stock of Staintune pipes sitting in the US warehouse is depleted.. Staintune will NOT sell to any US vendors except CBT in California. Yes.. that means that Pirates Lair nor any other vendor will continue to sell them. I think the problem is/was the economy combined with the high price of stainless steel. If you see an exhaust you want listed below.. Email me and I'll check to see if it's still available. Ain't dat a pisser?
