I've been meaning to change from the standard for a while now but I haven't a clue which brand to go for. I'm only looking for a slip on, can't really afford a full system.

I've seen this on ebay - https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260649542127&ssPageName=STRK:MEBOFFX:IT

Can anyone give me any pointers.

Ride a CBR-RR5

Cheers

Well from your choice there, you dont really need any pointers, Akraprovic are known as one of the best. Thumbs Up

Akrapovic are on of the best brand of exhaust IMO, and that is almost half price seems like a fair bet to me.

On a modern generation sportsbike, you probably want a light weight exhaust, that is well made and that also looks good!

I'd only ever consider a Titanium, Carbon fibre or stainless steel exhaust can tbh, and IMO on a nice bike id stick to one of the big well known exhaust manufacturer's that have a high quality reputation. I would never put a £50 can on a nice sportsbike as it ruins the looks and quality image somewhat.

As for features then having a re-buildable silencer is a good move if it's a race can, and for road and track use having one with a removeable baffle in the end is sometimes a good move. Having said that a quality race only can should be slightly lighter than one thats road legal but can be converted into a full straight through race exhaust by pulling out the baffle insert.

Is £300 a fair price would you say?

You wont see most of it as it is underseat, just go for the loudest one Thumbs Up .

Akrapovic cans are nice though, brother had one on a ZX6R. I have a scorpion on my CBR, sounds good and is much cheaper than an Akra. Find some pootube clips for different cans and go with whichever one makes your knob the hardest.
