Advice on aftermarket exhaust

[mathornet]

Noted.

But what people are trying to state is its most likely the driver who is in a state of little or no awareness while driving is the one that will get you(or nearly get you) unless your playing your A game.

Be honest with yourself.

You want a horny sound to come out of your bike.
You don't need any other reason. That in itself is reason enough. It may increase the chance of accident avoidance a little but not as much when the enemy is likely driving by brail while texting a friend with the sounds up high while high and possibly drunk.

OH YES definitely that! never denied that I want the sexy sound to come out from my bikes butt

Bloody nice bike. Under that wee triangle cover in front of the muffler is most likely a clamp to disconnect the muffler. THe net shows plenty pictures of aftermarket pipes on that model of Honda.

Depending on how restrictive the stock muffler is you may find it revs a bit more freely with a free flowing muffler (my 900 spins up quicker with the Yoshis compared to the restrictive stock units).

And the deeper louder pipe adds a extra half inch of perceived penis length compared to a whisper quiet bike. Research proves this.

Noted! Yeah I kinda feel that for an IL4 its a bit restrictive on the revving.


+1 On that one mate!
But mine has Vtec at 6300rpm; make it ONE inch!

Just wanted that extra comfort to my ears and my sense of presense on the road.

That's honest. FA to do with safety, though. Does make the bike seem more fun.
One of my bikes sets off car alarms at 100 paces, shatters glass at 50 & will make your ears bleed if you adjust the chain with the engine idling. The other one might as well be electric, if the winds in the wrong direction you got to look for smoke coming out of it to see if it's running.
The riding experience is identical. Your average driver is only slightly involved in driving, most of it is habit, they have other things occupying their senses & thoughts. I think you need to be exceedingly anti-social to be heard. Like a patch & a pig, sorry hog. Smarter riding will make you easier seen & see more hazards.

Can't comment with any authority on slip on's other than I have never heard of serious problems from them, not a good thing for the manufacturer & they should know. They should have the necessary info for you, too.

Nothing wrong with letting your bike talk a little more, save some weight & have a bit of bling but it's not a silver bullet for safety. You need a Scania for that.

If your gonna splurge don't go trade me bargain basement, buy them off somebody who can back them up. In NZ.

I went for twin pipes and gained an inch.
