I've never heard of that brand and it doesn't replace the cat. I doubt it will do much.

It looks like a wide open megaphone ... super noise maker.

Has anyone run their bike with just the stock muffler removed? Todays new bikes have alot of the dbs lowered in the collector box under the motor. A minimal slipon may not increase the noise factor as much as if you replaced the whole system.

I am convinced I can get a 2011 ZX10R header on the H2 SX. The tubes look to be the same size, but I will confirm. I will be trying this shortly. If this works, there will be only a little trickery to get a mid-pipe to work with the swingarm and bags. Then it can run any can I wish.

I'm just going to wait awhile until exhaust options show up. I'm more concerned with sound, look, weight than anything.

I'm with you on that.

Sound - I want sound - but I don't want noise. On a long trip I find excess noise is just plain tiring. I'd be quite happy with stock dB levels. I don't need to announce my arrival. Sound - now that's different. A more throaty or fuller sound is music to my ears. I'll gladly listen to my engine sing.

Look - yeah, the stock can isn't pretty. But some of the photos I've seen posted around look kinda shabby too. Of course, look is down to personal taste but a neat setup will appeal to many people's taste. Any replacement should look as if it belongs on my new pride and joy.

Weight - a worthy consideration. Should be one of the top priorities but I wouldn't just fit a bean can just because it's lightweight.

More Power - I'll take it if it's there but not a decider for me. Bike has plenty of power to begin with. An ECU flash will add more at a reasonable cost. Modern exhausts are pretty good in terms of power so an aftermarket exhaust doesn't seem like good bhp/$ to me. That doesn't mean I wouldn't buy one but I wouldn't compromise sound, looks, weight or cost just to pick up a few extra bhp of bragging rights.

My views.

I did pull the stock canister to see if the exhaust valve was doing anything at full throttle for a run and it picked up 4 hp, not really much percentage wise

8" stainless steel 2.25" OD pipe from my local speed shop. and a 2.25" inlet Micron can from Ebay. Done until something better comes along. Cost? $150 to my door.

Is that 8" pipe straight, or curve in it? If curved, could you guess the angle?
