When kman0066 posted details of this last week I wasn't sold on the carbon can. I don't have a problem with that carbon look but to me it just didn't look like it belonged on the H2 SX. From the pics above I'm more convinced that stainless is the way to go. If it makes a nice sound without being loud then I'll be interested. Thanks for posting up the pics.

I think a muffler that replaces the cat and dumps out behind the right foot peg would be awesome on this bike. Rear tire changes would be super simple then.

that would require cutting the stock exhaust.

I don't like the fact that the exhaust hides the awesome rear wheel but after hearing how loud a regular h2 was this weekend with the type of exhaust your describing i don't think i want something that loud

Having drove mine without exhaust yesterday and today I can say it is loud and sounds like a tractor at idle but it sounds good once moving.

Was out a vandemon exhaust or similar? Those are basically straight pipes. With the cat being welded to the header pretty much the only options are going to be a slip on or full exhaust. I doubt a company is going to develop a mid pipe for this relatively rare bike that will also need to be cut and welded. The market for our bikes is already small and there are less people that would be willing to cut on their bike. It doesn't have to be a loud exhaust with the cat out of the way there would be plenty of room to put an exhaust can in its place if it can be hung securely.
