I am still one of the few who has yet to change my pipe. Still waivering between the CS-one and the Remus. But was wondering what riders are getting as far as mileage difference when you add an aftermarket pipe. Since I do ride a lot of long distance rides, mileage and range are always a concern to me.
The CS one is the last exhaust choice I would consider, but the Remus is a nice choice. 2 Brothers, Area P, Leo Vince, Holeshot Performance, and Muzzy are all most excellent choices. I have noticed no change in gas mileage "Area P" matter of fact I usually average in the low to mid 40's no matter how I ride.
interested in the input this thread will deliver. shouldnt be that different but it might change slightly. i think these bikes are a little fat from factory right??
I bought a V&H CS-1 and didnt like it, didnt like the build quality or the sound. I sold it and bought a Leo Vince that I am totally pleased with. I didnt notice any fuel mileage difference with either muffler.
I did a flyectomy, high flow filter, and PC-V at the same time as replacing the stock exhaust with an Area P kit, so it's hard to say if any one component made a difference in mpg's. If you maintain the same riding style with the aftermarket pipe, you should get at least a slight gain.
I don't think adding an aftermarket pipe will directly have and adverse effect on your mileage. It can cause your right hand to have and adverse effect though
I have a muzzy slipon and a couple weeks ago on a ride with my wife I was getting 47 mpg, blew my mind because I usually only get 38 to 40 when I ride with the "boys" This was riding 70 mph on a 4 lane too. I have gotten as low as 35 in the twisties.

Both when I had the two brothers duals and the slip on two brothers my mpg went down. Well at least for a few weeks man this bike sounds good with a pipe. No real difference after getting used to hearing it though.
I just installed the two brothers slip on and my mileage went up. I'm new to the forum and the concours. I've put about 1100 miles on my 2009. I just put the exhaust on and my most recent fillup I got 44mpg. Where I was averaging 38-40mpg.
No difference with a TB slip-on. Small degradation in the beginning when I had to feel and listen to appreciate the change in sound! Still averaging between 39-42 in daily commuting.
