OOO!  Pretty!  Is that a really big living room or a furniture store?  The proper place for something that pretty is in the center of the living room.

Congrats Mike!  :thumbs: 
 
A major weight saver, better sound, and better looks too getting rid of that potato launcher...
 
I went with the Muzzys carbon fiber slip-on myself.  8)
 
I had it put on before I even picked the bike up new from the dealer, I went back in to pick up the potato launcher a couple days later and almost dropped it because I wasn't prepared for how freakin heavy it was... Lift with your legs...  :o

GREAT looking exhausts.  I'm in the market for a slip-on myself.  Just got my bike and still breaking it in.

Am I correct to assume no mapping changes needed?

I'm looking for a good sound that doesn't get annoying on the highway or sound like you are going fast when you are not.

That's a great looking muffler, especially with the powder coated wheels.

I see you were a cruiser guy before, so I reckon you wanting V&H makes sense.  :stirpot: Nah it isn't that bad of a unit, but is very inferior in terms of fit and finish compared to the others in my opinion.

I also went with the two-brothers. I added the end cap silencer to mine to quiet it down some. It still sounds great when you romp on it but is a bit more mellow at lower RPM. It also has a very nice fit and finish to it. As with most everything else, styling is subjective and I like the appearance of it.

Don't let these guys get you down, I like the look of the CS-1 too!  It reminds me of the Yoshimura tri-ovals that I've always had a soft spot for.  Too bad they don't make one for the Concours - or at least I haven't been able to find one...

I bought it used, and it sure is better looking than the stock one.  I like Area P too.  This was cheap and easy until I get the full on performance modding bug.

i m also looking to replace the OEM pipe. I just dont want something to loud.

I though the AREA P was the one. Problem is a cant get a dealer that sells thoses up here in Canada. Is there anything else on the market that can suit my needs?

2 brothers is the most reasonable.  You  can get a new one on ebay from many dealers for less than 400.00.  They sound great and are much lighter and smaller than the stocker.
