link to diff clips of what the exhaust sounds like

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 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!

I think they squeezed nearly 2 liters of flow through that donut box too...I heard one of those slip-ons on a 6 at Hawk's Nest and it's sound was horrible.

I have had many. Sato and Moriwaki were my favorites for sound and quality for my RC51.
My M4 full system delivers incredible sound but isn't the most great looking or top shelf quality. I had a few Yoshimura systems as well which were pretty decnent for the money but are also a mid level pipe.

Ti Force is one I never owned but they look and sound awesome.

I think this Yosh TRC I found sounds the best on any GSXR-1000 I've heard. It's a special race team part I got on ebay. It's the same dimentions as the cans off Mladin and Spies' bikes, 14 inches in length with a 2 1/2 inch outlet. The regular end can for a TRC is 16 inches in length with a 2 inch outlet.

I just got my new Kawi Race Kit exhaust, which is the Akrapovic Evolution with a slightly modified muffler. Very exciting. I'll eventually get to put it on
oh and Akrapovic is the best (I may have said that once or twice before)
