What slip-on exhausts would you recommend for a Yamaha XSR 700? I don't have the cash for a full exhaust system refit but really want to open up the stock grumble a little. Nothing obnoxious but at the moment, the only person who can hear anything is the rider sitting on top of the engine.
I shouldn't need an ECU flash with a slip-on, right or wrong?

EDIT: Just seen on another post that it's not possible to use a slip-on with the xsr700, that you have to use a full system. Anyone know if that's right?

One you like the look of. Id I say Akra you'll say too much, but if I say SP Engineering, it'll be too loud. Its what you like surely Smile

Likely not but to get the most out of it, yes. Might cause issues, might not. I never have had a reflash.

Like they are telling you on XSR forum it's not realistic as that big box below is a catalytic converter you could really mess things up unless you buy a complete system

You can't have a can that opens up the grumble and can only be heard by the rider.

Ah, no you definitely can't What I meant was, at the moment only the rider can hear it.

Ah thank you doggone. I'm just as new to engine mechanics as I am to riding. Learning as I go and appreciate the education.

It'll be loud though. Even the 300mm can.

Personally I quite like the look of the oem xsr systems, certainly not as gopping as one or two other standard systems on other brands that spring to mind.
I went for SP slip-ons, yes they're louder than the whisper stock but there are solutions to that plus they look so much better and they're substantially lighter.
