Default Dale Walker Holeshot Slip On Making a Comeback

Been scratching my head as to what exhaust to put on my bike and came across an old site that a pict and dyno chart of Dale's slip on (prior to the full system). I have had two of his systems on my VMax and my dad had a set of his slip ons (he now has my first Holeshot system on his), all have performed flawlessly and were of exceptional quality. After speaking with him on the phone today he has decided to fabricate more of the mid pipes used to connect the stock header to his 17" polished can. He told me that us Warrior owners can expect to see his slip on available again in about 30 days.

No I don't work for Dale or know him other than a few conversations on the phone over the years, all of which he has been most helpful and knowledgeable. Here are some pictures and the old dyno chart I found online from during the last time he had it available.

Well it is suspicious that this was your second post and you felt the need to notify all of us about this slip-on but it is pretty cool.

It was my second post as I just purchased a 2009 Warrior that was still in the crate on the 14th of last month and found this forum about three weeks ago as I was searching for ideas. I went ahead and joined the forum to share what I discovered yesterday as from reading all the post/topics it appeared to me that I wasn't the only person who wasn't completely satisfied with the current exhaust options.

Indeed, the Warrior needs more canister exhaust options to retain it's sporting soul. Good to see Walker get back in on it. Maybe he will sell the fabbed up angle piece seperately, giving us the option to use any canister exhaust like Yoshimura.

Glad you posted this. I used to have the V&H pro pipe but it didn't have the ground clearance that i had hoped for. If you leaned far enough it can scrape. I've been interested in this pipe for some time and looks that ground clearance won't be an issue. Would love to hear one close up.

Thanks for posting that info.
A link pipe that is available seperately could be handy.

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, the beauty of slip ons is ground clearance and reasonable cost. I have the Jardine on mine, but love the look of the Dale Walker.
