Title: Exhaust decission exhausting
Post by: mademiriam on March 27, 2007, 06:07:16 AM: Just can't seem to make up my mind, thought you guys might be able to help. I know you've all discussed the 'exhaust' question already, I've narrowed down my options thanks to all the posts.
Help me decide what I should get for a slip on, it's a 05 1200, naked conversion not going to be anything too wild (at least not yet). I want everything from a set of pipes, performance, durability and a nice low rumble, without being crazy loud at idle. At a good deal of course. Let me know what you think.

If the last couple of horsepower isn't of utmost importance, go with what you like the looks of. Yosh & Hindle both make excellent products, as does Holeshot (another popular choice).

Where have you guys been buying your hindle stuff? Haven't found a really good place yet.

I know Fast Larry (who seldom comes here anymore) bought his through Katana John's, but I can't seem to find his website anymore. The link to it on Fast Larry's site (http://www.portablepct.com/fastlarry/) isn't working either.

You can also get them through Brock's Performance Products. (http://www.brockracing.com/)

It is a beautiful piece and it includes a stainless mid-pipe and bracket. Not loud at all and it makes nearly as much power as the others mentioned. In my opinion, this is a much more civilized pipe for the street rider who wants a lighter, better looking and better performing pipe without all the noise.

Title: Exhaust system
Post by: zeebandit on March 29, 2007, 09:27:29 PM: I have the Brock Davidson (Street smart system). I believe it's the lightest full exhaust system made. It's not obnoxiously loud. I had a full holeshot system with the 21" touring can and like the Brock's system better. Brock's is all stainless with a 20" oval titanium can. :motorsmile:
