Title: Another New Pipe Suggestion
Post by: fixxr on March 14, 2012, 01:04:44 PM: I have been a lurker for a while here just absorbing the intel and using the search features.
Thanks to everyone the ideas are overwhelming and inspiring.

Ive got an 09 (fastest color) and I have farkeled it a bit and one of the last (prolly should have been 1st) things I need to do is replace the factory can.

I like the CS-one but from this forum I understand the tip finish corrodes, it does look like it belongs, and its sounds great. Not concerned about the noise/growl as I'im a little deaf but don't want to extend a bad image. Heck I cant even hear my bike.

Don't care for the looks of the Area-P so I think Im down to the leo vince and the cs-one.

Akrapovic would be nice but pricey. Yoshi maybe? Not such good luck with the 2 -Bros

Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for all the tips/tweaks and insight.

Just a nitpick, but to me, "can" = muffler or silencer. That is not a "pipe". Pipe = exhaust tubing from exhaust manifold to muffler.

Why would he modify a bike that he is just waiting for the first problem so he can unload it for a K1600....... ;D
