They've taken tips from the PM Tuning exhaust. It is certainly a must if you want to show off your fancy wheels, but I think I prefer to see a long exhaust there. Wonder what it sounds like? Pretty noisy, I imagine.

looking at the photo I think that baffle could be removed and also without the cat ... yup, too loud for the neighbours (and for me)

The looks, and I bet the sound as well, remind me of every Chinese scooter running around with a busted exhaust. Save the money and just leave the silencer end off your exhaust and ride around! Yuck!

I assume it's tuned to the note F.

That's way too stubby, I'd rather have a full length pipe, size matters!

The red water pump hoses are pretty awesome. If they could only make a longer water pump, to go with the shorter exhaust... then you'd see more red hose, and that would be killer.

Why not just paint your exhaust red?

I am keen to see and hear it in action 👍

Wow, they really don't need to compensate for anything.
But the factory exhaust covers a lot of ugly stuff on the big scoots.

Where's my Primavera version?

In the product description it says "For race use only. Not admitted in the area of the German StVZO!"
My guess is it would not pass inspection, not that, that would matter as I see so many motorbikes with loud exhausts that aren't pulled over by NYPD, doubt the police is enforcing the noise ordinances as such.
I like the stock exhaust, though I would like to have a better solution to having a graphite bushing..

Kinda ugly, but I like it because it does not cover the rear wheel. In fact, one could possibly remove the swingarm without removing the exhaust.

only issue I see is the hot exhaust gasses going straight back and heating up the brake lines. they should have had a turn out on it inside of straight back.

I think it oscillates between the keys of F and U.

The brake line is on the other side of the bike. The line in the middle of the photo is the wheel rotation sensor for the ABS and ASR

But yeah i did wonder about that ...

SFPD is floating the idea of formally ignoring a bunch of laws (headlights, turn signal usage, illegal parking, etc). The same week, the state announced they want to install noise cameras in 6 cities to combat loud exhausts.

SFPD doesn't enforce laws anyway, so I have no idea what effect the new guidelines would have: probably just performative.

Germany is really strict about changing almost any part of a vehicle. suggest largely ignoring that description when you see it.

Even sticking the popular Brembo brakes on a GTS is not permitted. https://www.sip-scootershop.com/en/product/brake-calliper-brembo-front-p4-30-34-c_20516579

Officer I ran into the back of him because he stopped too fast.

Is it F & U...or F & m(inor)E?

ah, the classic Zelioni rims are crying out loud for this kind of solution

or the lovely beloved Fuocos?

This is pretty much the same situation in NYC. Not much enforcement of even the most basic rules, such as not riding on sidewalks or against traffic, red lights don't even count as suggestions to slow down for many. Either that vacuum of enforcement, or humanity collectively decided that they are past traffic laws and no enforcement in the world could break their will. There has also been talk about enforcing noise laws, judging by noise the from the tailpipes of many PTWs, that's just talk though.

lol, true. especially when also replacing the arm like in the photo with the SIP one (or similar)

I really like the way that looks. But I wonder if the oil filter would be accessible without removing the muffler.

Other than the reduction in sprung weight, I'm not seeing much to recommend this.
