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 ____________________ "intelligent inattention is preferable to unintelligent tinkering"

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

P.S You missed out a vital securing bracket from my recent CB600F Twin Carbon Mivv Order. 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.  |

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 . |
