Hey guys, maybe I am just crazy and on my own and have a death wish, but I recently bought a stock exhaust for my 03 R1. I had a shorty on it, loud and sounded terrible, I think I lost some MPG with it too. Befor that was a laser exhaust and it was damaged/leaking.
Anyways I am loving this stock exhaust. the bike is quiet which is kind of a bad thing, I really have to pay attention when riding on the highway to where I am in traffic and make sure I am not next to a car that can hit me. But I have NEVER had a bike with a stock exhaust. My first bike had a vance and hines, 2nd bike had a vance and hines, 3rd bike had a Scorpion, 4th bike had a leo vance SBK, 5th bike had a two bro's which I thought was quiet, This one had the laser and exup wired open when I got it and then I put on the shorty.
Its SOOO nice to open the bike up and not cause a scene. Can kind of mess around and not worry about drawing attention to me. The loud pipes I think draw attention to you even though you are not doing anything wrong. Cops tend to not even look at me anymore since they cant hear it. Its like stealth mode!
Like I said I may just be killing myself quietly, but does anyone else actually like stock quiet exhausts?
