    Z750 is getting a new exhaust - what do I get?

    It's an insurance job. I have the stock exhaust at present, and to be honest, I have no issues with it.

    I commute on it in all weathers, only occasional rides up the line or weekend spins.

    I don't want anything that is unreasonably loud, but more torque would always be welcome.

    Suggestions please!

    I'm a big Yoshimura fan.

    Having said that good old Neptune in Welly are turning out some nice work and definitely worth a phone call or email.

    For about $500 total, fuel exhausts in the UK can have a replacement on your doorstep in four days. It works well, I had one on my z750.

    Really good build quality.

    The Leo Vince SBK series mufflers are good value and sound nice, with and without the DB moderator (easily removed with a single Allan key).

    TBRs are just magic for noise augmentation, but pricey.

    A muffler on its own won't help your torque. It may improve your throttle response, if your bike is injected. Even adding a Power Commander won't make a significant difference to your torque. Horsepower? Different story.

    I thought so but couldn't resist calling Brett, the grammar Nazi out on it.

    Decibel, or dB.

    LOL
    And it's an attenuator, not a moderator perhaps.
