Exhaust Opinion (Sound)

Hi Everybody,

I have just ordered the Tripage F/E with CA integrated tail light for my 08 CBR600RR (Can't wait!) and I've been looking at some of the slip-ons on this site. You guys have some great looking bikes!

Here's my question:

Between the Yoshimura RS-5, Two Brothers V.A.L.E. M2, Jardine RT-1 and Akrapovic; have any of you heard what they all sound like (they all look good!)? What are your opinions?

Also...

Is it a fair price range to be looking to pay around $500 - $600 for these slip-ons? (Maybe the Akrapovic being the highest) Any suggestions for a good website that usually has decent prices?

Thanks!

I have a two bros titanium on my bike and paid 499 from morepowerracing.com free shipping. The exhaust is very loud and definetely attracts attention i love it

Think I've seen n heard all those. the best looking are the Jardine and Akrapovic. They all sounded about the same to me. Each having different tones at diff rpms. All seem to stick out to far for my taste. The Akrapovicfits the best IMO from the ones I've seen, but its the most expensive too I believe. The best one I seen was on a 07 1kRR n the guy shortened it a few inches and it looked dayum right sexah.

Thanks for the feedback...
 
I think I've narrowed it down to either the Two bros or Jardine.  Should I wait to install the Tripage F/E until I get a slip-on?

I'd wait n do it all at once. From what I've heard theres a few tricks n tweaks with the Tripage F/E n tail light, esp with a aftermarket pipe.

i don't see anything wrong with installing the FE before the exhaust arrives.  that's what i did and it is nice to have things happen in stages so you really appreciate each mod you do to your bike, imo.

+1 to that.  It really makes me appreciate it more when I space out my mods.  I feel bad for the people who ask me what I've done to it though, cause I rattle on for 2-3 minutes minimum telling them every little detail that they don't care about.  Sure, they were probably making small talk, but it's their fault for trying to make small talk about my most prized possession.

Just curious why honda relocated the taillight?  Was it melting the taillight too bad so they made it into the rear you end up deleting anyways?  Is there any other taillight option other than the rear bar under the exhaust that is on ebay for the 07/08?

My FE kit showed up before my exhaust so I will end up installing them at different times. I do feel good about installing the FE but I think the exhaust is going to make a HUGE difference. The stock exhaust looks like poop without the big stock ass hiding it...plus I left the heatshield on, and that's not very good looking.

Couldn't be any happier with my Jardine!! Great Looks and the sound isn't tooo loud.  Resembles an F1 car i've been told.

Get the two bros. you wont be disappointed...

OOOOOOOO That's what I want. I want something loud, high pitched and whiney like an indy car! I've listened to that website that has like every exhaust out there and they all sound the same online. I really like the color of the black/blue micron I just wish I could hear it in person. Maybe I'll look at a Jardine.

Akrapovic's sound ABSOLUTELY AMAZING on the 600RR. Deep, throaty and none of that buzzy, excessively loud "look at me" nonsense that I hear all the time. Yoshi sounds good sometimes (depending on the bike). Two bros to me look ridiculous sticking out of just about every bike I see them on.

But yeah, Akrapovic would be my choice if I was in the market for a slipon........

Ok so here's how my slip-on turned out. I would like to get 3 more things done in the near future and I was wondering if you guys could help me out....

1. Front Turn Signals
2. Tripage License Plate bracket (what's up with their website?)
3. Chrome or Black windscreen (opinions?)

I could really use some pointers/examples...(Sorry dial-up, I like big pictures)

Man if i had a money tree I'd be buying that exact bike!  I personally like two bros but man that color looks awesome!  Ever think about powdercoating the pipe black to follow the rest of the scheme?

In response to your asking for opinions... I would say chrome for the windshield... but if you do, you need to get a few more chrome pieces going. It'll help carry the look around the bike. If you're not into "bling"... then keep the chrome subtle and go with a smoked windscreen.

As far as turn signals go, My 2 personal preferences are Proton and Rizoma. (I, however, am not nearly as excited about Rizoma's since they changed their model to the 6 volt style... not a fan at all)

Here's some info I did on the Protons...  http://www.cbrforum.com/m_385101/tm.htm

Also... nice choice on the Yoshi there. I've always been a fan of how they sound. Two Brothers is alright, but too common around these parts. I went for the craziness... and I love it. (for more info on the Laser X-treme, hit up the exhaust Sticky at the top of this forum)

Also... speaking of... I'm ALMOST done with the movie/sound clip for this exhaust, with both street and race baffles. Coming soon!

I have a yosh pipe myself and I think it sounds great.  If it isn't loud enough for you, then you can always cut it down in size.
 
Or you can be like me the other day I just took the slip-on off and rode around town until a cop pulled me over and said my bike noise was unnecessary....
Then I told him that at least he heard me coming before he saw me, that is the whole purpose.

i think that yoshi is pretty crammed up there in that tail light.. but good choice!!
 
the yoshi gives the best "gp" sound i think, nice and quiet at a stand still but when you open her up its like waaaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooh waaaaaaaaah.
 
dont get the chrome windscreen,... crome is for gixxers

Two bros exhaust, and this is why. BAM!


Oh, the sweetness!

To be honest, do what you think looks good on it. It''s your bike. Rizoma have really nice turn signals (a bit pricey). I would do a smoked wind screen.

Good choice on the Yoshi...I had one on my bike and that thing friggin screamed. Get your exhaust bracket powdercoated and drilled for the Tripage License bracket. Black windshield, rizoma or hotbodies flushmounts. Very nice bike man
