The two brothers they have listed sounds nothing like mine. The problem you're going to run into is which one they are testing. There's more than one Yoshi and Two Brothers out there.
The only tip I can give is, play it safe. Before you buy... find someone that has them exhaust and listen to them. The RS5 on the ZX6 doesn't sound like the sound test either. It was a little louder than stock, but does have a lower tone.
The M2H I have... is much louder and has a great sound to it.
Try checking out your local hang outs... around here, most riders meet up at local gas stations before rides.

I tried to buy the RS5 carbon cone, but they were on back order for three months. Still on back order now. I switched to the two brothers M2H... it's new so you have to call to order it. it's a little more $$$'s (about $500) but it's sooo much nicer. I actually installed it and went for a test ride and ran into a ZX6 with the RS5. Sounds closer to stock, as far as loudness goes. It does have a deep throaty sound, but nothing like the M2H. This is an expensive game to play... you can't take our word for anything as far as sound. If I had to do it all over again... I would buy anything unless I could hear it first. The 2bros is leaps and bounds ahead of the RS5, IN MY OPINION ONLY!!! If I would have bought it and came up beside the one I have now... I'd kick myself. Do you have any riders in your area? It's worth the time to find slip ons installed so you can hear them in person before you sink the $$$ into it.
Here's what I have...
looks awesome don! i absolutely love the endcap. you don't know if i can install that style endcap on my c4 do you???

damn you and your not-round silencer! i was mezmerized by the beauty of the 2bros carbon and endcap to notice the size difference in the pics. i have to admit, the m2h is hands down the nicest looking slip-on that i have ever seen.

So the RS5 sounds pretty much stock as far as loudness is concerned, but throatier. So how does the 2 Bros M2H sound? Too bad there's no sound clips floating around out there.
I disagree with that. I think it is much deeper and louder over the stock exhuast. Not to loud but you can definitly tell a difference.
