    Which muffler do you prefer?

    Been look ing at the KTM 690 SM recently and the more I look at it the more I like it.

    So I'm curious what you all think of the exhaust. If you were to buy it, which of the images below do you like?

    I don't know a better way to set this up, so for reference just say 1 2 3 or 4 left to right, nice and easy.

    Surely it comes with mufflers from the factory. A 690 Enduro would be a better buy then you can go anywhere.

    Get the SC-Project pipe. Pricey but top quality.

    Why care what you think I? If so, must it 3 or 4.
    But bike you will be yourself, so think what you most important, not us.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    Meh, I did it out of interest/boredom. I'd been off work for some 6 weeks in a cast and was running out of things to do. I agree about 3 and 4 for the after-market items. 3 looking a bit different to the dukes exhaust.

    I quite like the original mufflers. Pretty radical but they've grown on me.

    It's a bike you either love or love to hate with the mufflers playing a big part. It's always interesting to see what others think.

    None of them. Get the Mivv Suono's. Or the Akra's of course.

    That doesn't look too bad at all does it. Although I think the main reason for that is they've removed the rear mud guard etc.

    When you suggest this exhaust whats the main reason? You mentioned quality. Is that it? Or, are these units known to give more hp than others, longer life span, better sound? It couldn't be just the name? Could it?
