Ti cause the standard stainless run far to hot for panniers, though i do like to see a decent design too rather than the standard look

I'd like it to be Ti but it's too expensive to justify so it's stainless for me.

And is this some sort of free consumer survey. Tut Tut

Any really, i think exhausts are very over priced regardless, i like quite small narrow cans like GP style ones not those shitty slash cuts.

P.S You missed out a vital securing bracket from my recent CB600F Twin Carbon Mivv Order. Razz All sorted now though, I do reckon Mivv exhausts are right up there with the best.

Personally, I like Beowulf exhausts best. The steel ones are very very strong.


Just make sure you don't accidentally brush past the sleeve or the exhaust may blow. Neutral

Titanium any time, as it's light and can be banged back into shape.
But if the steel pipe was cheaper, I'd be buying that.
Think the only time I've ever spent money on (as opposed to getting it with the bike) is on a Full system for the SV, which came in at £220 second hand, but hardly touched.
Was stainless - only went for it because mine was a bit knackered and it was the same as I had on, which was considered the best you could get.
Normally, wouldn't want to pay more than £30 or so for a pipe.
May pay more for ones for my KTMs, but not out of choice Sad.

Sell a "GP" stubby can with a link pipe to fit a 99~00 carbed CBR600F-X / F-Y please thanks! Was told it couldn't be done because all exhausts are designed and sold as a "kit". Which sucks, because they make cans to fit my bike, just not the GP style... Surely you could just take a link pipe suitable for the bike and pair it with one of those cans? They're all a slip-on fit no?

Oh, and the best option would be Titanium, with the price tag of stainless. Thumbs Up Laughing
