I realize this is like an oil or tire thread and will ask forgiveness now if it has been discussed and beaten to death before, however I'm unable to locate an answer to my specific questions regarding an aftermarket slip-on exhaust.
I want nothing more than looks and sound. A nice growl but not obnoxiously loud. I don't care about increasing horsepower or torque, don't want to perform a flyectomy, don't want any popping on deceleration and / or downshifting and don't want to have to do any engine management or remapping with a Power Commander or other such device. I had a Two Brothers M2 Vale slip-on on my '07 K12S and an Akrapovic Titanium slip-on on my '10 K13S. The Two Brothers was a little too loud for my taste, even with the power tip sound suppressor installed. The Akrapovic was "just right", although extremely expensive (a $1900 slip-on I got free when I purchased the motorcycle new from a dealer). There are so many options out there that it boggles the mind. I simply want to upgrade the exhaust from the bazooka to something sleeker and more pleasing to the eye and at the same time let the engine speak a little bit. Your observations and opinions are greatly appreciated, and if you are aware of a previous post answering my specific qualities listed above please point me in that direction.
