2Bros have good sound but the quality sucks....

I put a LeoVince on my 06 1000rr, there was some hp gains and it looks and sounds good as well.

I really enjoy reading all the posts that people make about all the different brands of slipons.  Its always along the lines of ''this brand is terrible, this brand is the best'' and there is always different views from each side of the fence.

Each bike has different production tolerences from the factory and will cause different results each time.  This the majority of the time will not be a great difference but still be a small difference none the less.

With this being said, just cut down on the ''well my buddys friends moms sister told me this, so now I believe them that this exhaust sucks''.  This way we can have alot more accurate of an information flow in the forums and less hearsay.  More dyno results would be great as well.

I have had a couple of different exhausts put on the 3 bikes I have owned, with the most recent being a 2 bros exhaust on the 08 1000.  I have not tried any of the others on the 08 and can only speak for myself on the 2bros pipe i have on now, but I dont understand the negativity from the majority of people that post about it.  There is no loss to low end, it actually gains a bit imo, and a significant gain to the top end. I will try and get some dyno numbers put up this weekend from it. 

Thank you

I just put a yoshi slip on on my 08 and it sounds awesome.  I took her for her first ride today with it installed and she did not lose anything...I would say she feels lighter and stronger.

LOL, he said everyone has two bros when he has yoshi

I wont ever buy a yoshi ONLY for the fact that it''s so commercial.  I see them EVERYWHERE, it''s like all the anime nerds decided to get bikes and liked the Japanese lettering (just kidding yoshi owners, dont take me seriously)

On a serious note though, exhaust has two purposes: Noise and power, both of which come at a monotary expense.  I bought my bike used and it had a D&D already on it.  I personally LOVE my exhaust for the reason that people take notice (especially when they think "hey, I''m going to do a blind lane change" then they hear me and think again)(that''s a good reason but the other is I simply like attention drawn by cars to the fact that i can smoke them without trying).  To be COMPLETELY honest on the issue, do you REALLY need a couple more horses on your crotch rocket? (unless you race track)

I really dont know what the point of this post was now, I lost my train of thought with all those parenthesis

Im gonna hop on this wagon for a min. I have an 06 and have had a few different pipes and here is my imput. The bike came with a Titanuim FMF I loved the sound it was nice a deep very rumbly on the low end, not really loud on the top but the bike performed really well, it felt really strong but it was crooked so I took it off and replaced it with a titanuim scorpion. The scorpion was a little quieter (not much) than the FMF until you opend it up then it got louder then the FMF It had strong low end and midrange but the bike felt alittle slower on the top end (it wouldnt pull the higher MPH as fast) I dynoed the bike and it pulled 149hp but if flatlined at 149 and stopped makin power, it didnt lose any but it stopped climbing for some reason so that could have been why it felt a little weaker on the top end. The dyno operator compared my dyno chart to a stock 06 he had and my bike made about 3hp more all that way accross the rev range until it flat lined then the stocker pull about 2 more hp. then I had a Micron dual outlet it was on the bike for a day, it was heavy compared to the scorpion, sounded real nice quieter but nice and smooth. bike had a really soft bottom end and pulled hard when it hit 7k. I wasnt really impressed. So it came between 2 bro and yoshi because I wanted a carbon fiber pipe. The dyno guy said the 2-bro quality is good but the dont post any gains, and said yoshi is a good performing pipe but akra and arata are where the hp and the pricetags are at. So I went with the yoshi because I think it looks better than the 2bro and the 2 bro are deffinately more popular around here, altho yoshi are populars on the gixxers. now the bike performs like it did with the FMF, pulls really hard all the way across the  rpm, its alittle quieter than the scorpion until 4k then she gets loud but sounds nice, ive gotten multiple compliments on the sound. I''ll get dyno numbers soon.
