I'm running dunlap 208's on my ride. The length of time or milage you get will depend on your style of driving. Just all around riding you should easily go the season if not a season and a half but if you start pulling Mad Max's and Red Light Smoke's you will obviously kill it quicker. The overall strength is decent out performing the Metzler's, they tend to wear VERY quickly and the ride is smoother than the bridgestone's or michelin's. So I suggest the Dunlap's myself. I love the way they grab and hold through the corner's, no slide (unless there is some dirt) and quick response.
As for the pipe, what do you want? Deep and throaty? Or Higher pitch screaming? Most D&D's I've heard were a bit higher pitched. That screaming sound. What are you running now? a Stock pipe? The new Double Barrel Devil's sound and look real nice.
Hope some of that helps? See you on the streets!

i run pilot powers and love em... they don't take long to warm up and are really sticky. they can chunk though if you're not watching where ur driving, ahahaaa.
as for D&D, i hate that can. it seems most of the squids up here get them just cuase they are loud. IMO they don't sound good, just loud and sloppy. if you can take the hit, i'd go full akra, or just get a nice slipon from micron, muzzy, 2bros, yosh. M4 has a nice high mount at a good price. personally, i run a high mount 2bros

I run D208's I like the profile a lot and they only take a few miles to get sticky, and they really hug the road. Some people will complain as they are a tad below the Diablo Corsas, but I find them to be perfect for 75/25 street vs. track riding. And I have an Yoshi RS3 pipe. I don't love it but it came with my F4. If I were buying it myself I would have gone with an anodized Micron.

i was going to replace my stock with a red/silver fading highmount from micron, till i found out that if its colored, and the bike is left in the sun to sit, then the color fades. so my red would turn into a nice pink in not too long a time. plus the highmounts get rid of the rear pegs which i still want. thus, im saving up a bit more for a devil SB2 highmount

Ahh I see. I had a micron on my 03 R6 and the 99YZF600R I had afterwards so I'm partial to them, I always kept the bikes covered so it wasn't a problem. All our bikes sound like washing machines next to a VTwin though, lol...

I've got a D&D on my f4. If its loud your lookin for, then thats what you want. It'll rattle your teeth from about 7k rpms on up. It's got a real deep idle that I really like, especially when my bike and the pipe get good and warm. It came with my bike so I cant compare it to anything else, but I can say that if I were to spend the money for aftermarket exhaust, I would have gotten something a little quiter, cuz it really screams. If you put on a lot of miles, I would say get something else thats not so loud!!
