I am looking to buy Leo Vince High Mount Carbon slip on for my '05 ZX10R. Any opinion on that pipe? :wave2:

D&D can get a little annoying. Wound up going with the micron and was pleased. A little louder than stock but not hard on the ears.

The ONLY people that think Two Mothers is a good exhaust are the ones that have never had anything better...

I always hear "I've used Two Mothers on my last 10 bikes & they are awesome" Well Gee if you have never used anything else I guess that makes it easy for you to choose huh... Ask anyone that has owned a Two Mothers product & a premium exhaust like Sato, Arata or Moriwaki which one is better & see what their response is.

If you want an opinion it helps to get it from someone with enough experience with all brands to add some credibility to their statement.

I wrote an article on exhausts for my RC site. Disregard the RC specific info & you will find that most of the info rings true across the board.

oh & to the Busa guy that claims slip--ons are no account you are totally clueless.... A well designed slip-on can add more performance than many full systems. IN fact on the RC51 the Sato exhausts actually give more overall performance than ANY other exhaust slip-on or full system we tested & the gains are in the mid-range where it is most beneficial. Most full systems like Akrapovich concentrate on peak horsepower numbers & HP is always a trade off so they sacrifice mid-range or lowend performance to get peakier numbers, but how often do you really ride around with the throttle wide open & the bike bouncing off the rev limiter??? Very rarely I bet... You use the mid-range performance of the bike all the time in daily riding.

Many of the OEM headers nowdays are built very well so well in fact that choosing a full system over slip-ons typically produces only a few more horsepower at best. What you get for your money in most cases is droping a few more lbs than you pick up in horsepower which makes slip-ons a very viable bang for the buck on almost all the current sportbikes.

FMF was strictly dirtbikes untill a few years ago when they made the jump to the sportbike market. I have never really seen anyone running one and from what I have read they have a tendency to lose more power then they produce.

Also, sound clips are great to listen too but you are never going to hear what the pipe truly sounds like from a clip. Just my .02

I love D&D!!! I rock it. I was looking at going with the Devil High Mount OVO but I heard it on this guys 954 and it sounded like shit. Kind of steered me away from it now. So once again I'm looking. If I find a 929 with it and heard it and like it, I'll get it but not taking that chance until i know.

i have yosh pipes and my rc sounds pretty bad ass

High_Revs_17 · 04-08-2006, 01:12 AM

I believe this is by far the quietest aftermarket exhaust offered to date...even beats a D&D in the silent department!

With this following a close second!

Those are 2-stroke pipes there girly, and I'm not even sure you'd like the dirtbike sound that comes outta them...but I do!

worst on a ducati multi is the Termi's very tinny sound kinda rattle

but on a monster or super sport termis sound kick ass

best imo Fast By Ferracci/sli moto for the multi

got a nice deep rumble to them bit loud with headers and all but nice and thay give a nice boost in over all power 12 foot lbs tq right in the mid range and 9hp on top

this is with open air box and d/p ecu

my Buddy's zx7r has a hindle on and and it sounds nice but i am a v twin hoe
