After going back and fourth between this forum and YouTube, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a Big Gun Exo exhaust for my ’15 650. Installed no problem. Rolled bike out of garage as to not make too much noise in case this thing was LOUD. Cranked up, sounded really nice at idle, looks great. So, I left bike running for 10 min while I picked up my tools. Shut bike off, mother nature was calling. Noticed smoke coming from pipe, and a strange burnt smell. Brand new, normal maybe??? Left, came back 10 min later, still smoking! WTF, I know these things run hot & lean, but come on, I only revved the engine twice to half throttle, and possibly burned the packing??? Pipe showed slight discoloration, can was too hot to the touch to take apart & inspect. Will probably do tomorrow. Already had discussed ordering a tuner with Jeff Ross at The Bomracing, but smells like I may be ordering more packing also. I already know almost NO ONE here is a big gun enthusiast, but anyone ever had this problem with any exhaust???
