I'd like to hear the thoughts of others who have used this exhaust?
How loud, how serviceable, as in cracking, getting louder, so on...
Thanks!

This style? Iperscooter model.
My friend fitted one to his GTS300, attracted by the cheap price and direct shipping from Italy. Went on OK, nice look and exhaust note, but it didn't last, somehow falling apart on the motorway at some point, and never forgiven again. So I can't say I recommend it. I haven't seen many fitted on UK bikes, which is normally a fair indication of what's reliable and rated. Here, Akrapovic rules the ratings for aftermarkets, with Remus, Leo Vince, PM Tuning and a few others thrown in. Hope that helps ![]() ![]() |

I have almost 11k miles on mine and am quite happy with it. Not too loud but a nice tone. Never had any problem with it coming loose or anything else and I have never scraped it. And I ride quite aggressively. I ride a lotwith guys half my age on sport touring or dual sport bikes and I lead some of the rides over great canyon type roads. I would have no problem recommending it

I'm going to make an exact measurement from lowest spot on my OE muffler to the pavement while up on jack stand and then maybe you can do the same and we'll compare the distance?
I'm also going to look on youtube for a sound/video. I'd like a better sound, not more decibels and do ride with ear plugs and a full helmet at all times too. |
