Probably end up with the Two Bros Carbon, but having a lot of fun looking all the choices while I patiently wait for my C14.
Thats some good info!! I always worried about pipes with the pop rivets in them. I do like the looks of the area p also.
If you don't mind loud and obnoxious then they are the perfect choice, their build quality "especially packing" isn't up to par with some of the other offerings.
I have the Area P full system with the noise suppresion insert? Not sure exactly what they call it, but it is two pieces. I believe it was about $45.00. The outer piece just reduces the size of the exhaust opening and does reduce the noise to some extent. The second piece can be inserted into the first one with one allen screw and makes the exhaust only slightly louder than stock. This does choke out the bike in the upper rev range, but can be removed or installed in about a minute. The quality of the pipe seems to be very good, but I would not call it quiet without the insert.How about a video with and without?
Living In South Florida with all the traffic, I can also see where loud and obnoxious has it's benefits! Lots of hearing impaired drivers down here that just might not be able to see you but can hear something loud close by.

Just get a Muzzy or an Area P can, there is a very good reason why they are the most popular choices. 8)
Would love to hear a Leo Vince system.The Leo Vince comes with an insert at no extra charge. First think I purchased for my Concours. I sure could have used a hand doing this.

Awesome! Thanks Man your effort is appreciated! :chugbeer:
Definitely like the size of the Leo system! Like I always tell my wife smaller is better ;)
Anybody have a stock muffler from their '10-up they don't want? I was thinking of trying it on my '09.
(in the D/FW area)

Whichever you choose (Area P :p), you'll be surprised at the amount of air coming out! To feel your pants flap in the breeze, from 2 to 3 feet behind, at idle, will make you look to see who's tapping your leg. ;)
Loud does not mean safe. It just annoying. http://www.noiseoff.org/motorcycles.php (http://www.noiseoff.org/motorcycles.php)I especially like this advice :rotflmao:
Check the for sale on this site. Someone has one listed for $100.
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.
http://www.leovince.com/files/F28474/CO-8112.pdf (http://www.leovince.com/files/F28474/CO-8112.pdf)
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. ???
| (http://www.twobros.com/images/Q.gif)Are aftermarket exhaust systems street legal? | |
| (http://www.twobros.com/images/A.gif)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!
I thought that was Public Enemy?
Was a collaboration between the 2. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah Booooooooooy!!!!!!!
That is exactly what I want to do, thanks for the pics! Did the newer can fit OK?

After some research I went with the AreaP should be here this week...I also looked at Remus and LeoV but much more $$$$$. Not that the $$ was the deciding factor...you US folks are lucky to have easy access, free shipping and good pricing for the the after market exhaust...
I haven't read through this whole thread, but if the Area P families' product has been mentioned then the battle is over (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/bigthumb.gif)
If you jump through the right hoops up here you can have guns....and water for them is free lol .
And guns!!!!! ;)
Had my two brothers (the loud one) installed a couple days ago. It has a deep growl at idle, bringing out the sound on the big engine. When accelerating, it is loud (in a good way) but not obnoxious as described by some - I drove up on some men eating outdoors at a restaurant and to my surprise the sound of my bike did not turn heads, just don't rev it. It also is not particularly loud at interstate speeds and does not turn heads as I was hoping it would - a safety factor, as I have had too many drivers cut in front of me because they did not realize I was there.
I like the two brothers and I have gotten positive feedback from sports-car and motorcycle enthusiats but it is not for those who want a quiet pipe.
BTW, the pipe was installed by an official state inspection station, so what is street legal depends on the laws in the state and/or locality in which you live or ride.
Despite what the studies say, there are many bikers/riders who will say that loud pipes have saved their lives. I don't advocate for pipes that are obnoxiously loud, but stealth works when you don't want to be seen or hear which is not the case when you are on a motorcycle.
You're right, we wouldn't want to confuse things with the facts.

This is one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken. It was located at the turnout for the overlook on the Dragon.That is also common sense...agree with it too!!!

I just returned home from a estimate , yes it's dark out, as I pull up this 20 something guy is waiting for me , COVERED in tatoos, says is that a 250 , no, a 350, no It's SOOO QUIET he says ,just run a straight pipe...it is just a 250 ya know!
It 's a 1400 Kaw , NO WAY , WAY ;D
Not sure if loud pipes saves lives , but it sure makes you MACHO
A 250 huh ......... maybe I'll get that Leo Vince ::)

Common sense ain't that common...when you scare someone do you say..boo!!! Or BOO! Common sense!
If you ask me, scaring people driving deadly weapons is probably not a great idea, either :)We all assume we all can hear good!!!! Put in some earplugs...then put on some earmuffs...then some real dark sunglasses....add some sound proofing to your car, place the steering wheel at eye level...turn on the radio"at low volume"...and then give me three good reasons why you should be allowed on the road! Quit worrying about the loud bikes and worry about the things that are common sense! Don't worry about the teens that shouldn't be allowed to drive with their phones in the car...or the moms with four kids in their car...or the trucker making a deadline..or....or....or...a loud bike passes by quickly in retrospect! I would rather increase my chances of being heard or seen...after all the "Scientists" saying noise don't keep you safe, don't believe in God.....and may God be with ya!
Macho is a good thing....right??? I am close to deaf, so I like my bikes a little louder so I can appreciate the...sound! But I guess that makes me wrong.

My Pipe will go too 11...never heard anyone complain about a quiet motorcycle...I'll just consider MY airbag as being manufactured by Two Bros..People don't hear quiet stuff...but volume speaks volume! When I'm in a crowd of snow birds on 95 I will intentionally go down a couple gears!! In environments where sound is louder than normal I will be quiet!!! as possible. There are noise regulations for a reason!!!!! People hear noise...no further investigation necessary! If people have the right to drive at 85 I have the right to be LOUD! IF it's Too Loud you're too OLD! hello Cleveland.
Thank god for all the sound deadening material put in my Acura RL..it helps block the noise I wouldn't be able to hear otherwise. And who needs ear protection at the shooting range... ::) NOISE GETS NOTICED..if it helps or not who knows...but a lot of sniper victims don't like silencers...I'm sure of that! But I guess you could find those who would disagree..... :-\ Snipers in the military would be much safer if they were louder...agreed??? I'm sure there must be a lot of law makers riding bikes..not driving to work in there sound proof mercedes...the only thing they heard on the way to work was a couple Harleys...and they need to put a stop to that!
Seriously? You're not making any sense what so ever. WTF are you going on about? People hear noise? Well, yeah...The first victim probably would agree with ya...the second and third guy probably would agree with me, Anyway not really being too serious about anything, I figured the Village people was a good clue ::) Just having some fun. But I ain't cancelling my Two Bros V.A.L.E Black series order by any means. My wife agrees with ya anyway, about the rambling on an not making any sense. Capt Morgan understands me perfectlu though ???
"but a lot of sniper victims don't like silencers"
Say what? A silencer makes no difference at all to the 'victims' since the bullets are supersonic. If the victim hears the shot, the sniper missed. Not that this has anything to do with what we're talking about here... ::)
