So I am thinking about an after market exhaust...

[No Worries]

I'll be the devil's advocate. Six extra horsepower? Where? At 14K? Show me the torque curve. Free lunch horsepower? I don't think it's free. I think it came from down lower in the curve. A peaky 600, made peakier. And the 10 pounds? That's from below the axles for better handling, that's why they moved the undertail exhausts down low (Thanks Mr. Buell). The loudness? Aftermarkets are illegal here and cops love to give out those tickets. As for the $700, I'd rather use that for suspension, brakes, tires, seat, handlebars, lessons, or speeding tickets. But that's just my opinion.

for Quick's bike... I'll agree with NoWorries... The Chi hasn't chaged her exhaust... and really I think the stock exhaust on that bike is really good looking.

what kind of communist bs is that? thank god i live in jersey where you can get away with riding around open header if you want to

[Mr Lefty]

yeah Colorado has a law that requires the EPA stamp on the exhaust... course only the stock has that

The M4 for that bike sounds wicked. There is a guy that drive by the bank with that exhaust and it is awesome

Slip on, who cares what it is. Full systems I hope for the price but I would have to see the dyno to know if its worth the money.

I like Taylormade because they supply you a panel that fills in the empty space from removing the stock can. All the major companies sound nice on 'em. I'd go by looks and price. Racefit Growler's are fucking sick, too.

I had a buddy who had a Taylor-Made on a 750, it looked pretty sick, was easy to install, and sounded pretty damn good.

However, my opinion is spend the money on something other than an exhaust. Steel braided brake lines, some woodcraft rearsets, some suspension work, or maybe a trackday.

I checked out the Racefit Growler and while I sort of like the look the price puts it out of my range for another year or so.

There is something about the M4 that I don't like, maybe the look of it. I suppose it would help to see these in person but I will just cool my jets and wait on it.

Thanks for your input. You raised several very good points.

To be honest, this is one of those rare cases where I would be most interested in the look of the bike with the other benefits just being a big bonues.

I already love the look of my stock can but it is scratched up from when the first owner put it down. I might wait to pick up the exhaust and maybe go for that as a Xmas gift to myself. I recall the bike being pretty loud to begin with.
