Here's mine....
Here's mine....
The V&H is the only exhaust that looks like it actually belongs on the bike. It follows the lines of the bike and angle of the bags perfectly!
Almost all the others just look like afterthoughts. Just my opinion.
I changed my 2009's original to a 2010 factory. I always leave the bags and just installed a huge Corbin trunk so the pipe looks normal on mine all things considered. Without the bags the pipe looks 2x as big.

@Zsteve..... technically none of the aftermarket exhausts are legal, ever noticed how they specify track use and offroad only?

I believe that your statement might not be true of the Leo Vince.

That may be with the the insert installed, but that's the way I roll anyway.
And it's 13# lighter than stock.
The Leo Vince is "EC" approved which is the European regulations for exhausts that can be used on the public streets. Unless a can that meets the European regs doesn't meet the US regs.
The LV for the Connie is the "Standard-mount Factory E-Approved Evo-II slip-on" and may not be the same as you had, although the same claim is now made on their website for the V-Strom exhaust.
Sorry, I guess I'm missing something somewhere.
Are aftermarket exhaust systems street legal? | |
No, a common misconception is that some aftermarket systems are legal while others are not. Currently no City, State or Federally approved motorcycle aftermarket exhaust system exists in the U.S. market. Our exhaust systems are for racing purposes only. |

Technically not my words.
As The Band ANTHRAX said it ever so eloquently.....Bring Tha Noise!
