    And that rumour'd be dead right - if ever there was a rationale for an aftermarket exhaust, that's it right there.

    Aftermarket? More like pre-market.
    If I were to purchase one of these, it would be a condition of sale that the mechanic gets out the hacksaw and removes it, PRIOR to sale.

    i've always suspected as much, seeing as no japanese manufacturer sells with a decent exhaust nor fancy suspension. that said it would be nice if they assume we buy custom, that they don't spend so much money on the standard.


    of course the other problem is that they have to stuff a cat in there somewhere, and looking at the new 'blade muffler there's some actuating valves going on inside there....

    The cat is located on the left hand side of the engine (somewhere) then routes across to the RH side exhaust.

    What does that have to do with a 2010 V4 VFR?

    From what I can gather, it's all contained in the GIGANTIC monstrosity on the RH side.

    Um... Don't think I'll be trading up then.

    Maybe if I was a little older, with a pillion and considering that or a K1300GT.

    Only if you're 65 already I'd venture. Or 70-ish... I'm ancient enough to remember the building of Stonehenge, yet it's not weaving its magic magnetic attraction voodoo on me thus far. Perhaps the epiphany is lurking just around the corner but.

    'ere then...

    I'd have done a poll for this off post musing, but as I have no clue how to do that and have an irrational fear of reading the instructions for most everything, I'll just write this instead.

    The can on the new viffer has excited some comment about its shortage of beauty-osity, which is little to do with my point. Which is actually one about spelling. How does one spell 'exhaust' correctly within these fair forums?

    Zorst?
    Igzoast?
    Zhorsed?
    Zoarsst?
    Can?
    WhaleCockZorst™?
    Zaust?

    Feel free to contribute your Wiki-like tautology on the topic. Or not as you think fit. Ten-Q.

    Honda had a clean slate. A brill engine. Plenty of public opinions and awesome heritage to work off. I reckon they dropped the ball with this one. Plain n simple. It doesnt matter if it has warp drive and can make you a cup of coffee. They dropped the ball.
