What exhaust to get?

[tamarillo]

Hi Genie, over years of reading bike mags, especailly US ones who have money to test stuff - mostly a muffler change makes no difference at all and sometimes makes it worse. When combined with whole exhaust and carb rejet and dynatune some bikes gain something. BUT muffler only is just noise and looks.

BUT subjectively writers admit they thought it was more powerfull as it made more noise!

Spend money on more time with Karel - that will gain most difference!

Thanks all of you.

...the comment about saving my money as I'll want to upgrade soon....not likely. That was something I though very seriously about before I bought a shiny new bike. There is a saying that absolute power corrupts and as I'm easily corrupted I will not be purchasing a more powerful motorcycle in the near future. I've already had my very first ever speeding ticket on the little 250 and I think I'd have some trouble staying legal if I had more power between my legs. The 250 suits me quite nicely and as it's anniversary time, 6R time and just done 7500k we both deserve some treats.

As to which pipe...I'm tending to think along the Two Brothers line so extra wee thanks SloFox and Captain Crunch. I've seen some pics and the Two Brothers has a nice 'look' to it. It's not going to enhance performance it is really about the look and the sound...Image IS Everything!

Very good quality, the Two Bros. I was very happy with mine.

Correct

At least you're being honest that it's not about making it go better, it's about making it look and sound better.

Don't forget to have your needles raised after fitting your can. A very easy and quick job but should be done by a bike mechanic

Indeed....training is where it's at for getting ones' bike to go 'better'...however I don't believe that is why Genie is considering purchasing a can.

Here's one with a TwoBros. I don't know who Sam is, but he's an interesting chap. And a Kiwi.

But unfortunately he crashed, again. His dad isn't going to be happy he said. It wasn't his fault, a Jack Russel ran out in front of him. But the dog's ok.



But it seems Sam has a bigger problem than Jack Russels, as he also has to watch out for mad cows jumping fences and charging him on his bike!



There's more too, even of his mate dropping his new R6. But I've hijacked enough.

I found that the Two Brothers cans sounded the best on the EX250's.
They also have a better finish that the Screaming Demons too

I'll have to agree with Tubby there, I know a young fella with one and that pipe, has a nice distinct sound.... I'm trying to talk someone else into getting one for her bike too...not sure of the price tho...
