Title: Still no exhaust. Post by: scduc on July 18, 2009, 06:50:37 PM So, Its been a year and I still cant make up my mind. At first I thought I wanted side x side. Now I am pretty convinced that I want the shot-gun style. I'm leaning towards the sil-moto but cant decide on Titanium or carbon fiber. I've had CF and I liked the raspy tone and the fact that they where pretty cool to the touch. Cant help but like the look of the Titanium. I do plan on ceramic coating the mid-pipe, just not sure how it will look. How different is the tone/sound between CF and Ti's.Maybe I can use clip art to doctor up a photo of the Ti's

Go with carbon for the sound, I'm sure you could figure out a way to have them painted to look metallic. I've seen some well done examples.Title: Re: Still no exhaust.

Mine are on their way to get ceramic coated, then on the bike...can't wait!(http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q49/ProTeal55/MONSTER/boomtubes1.jpg) Title: Re: Still no exhaust.

Mine are on their way to get ceramic coated, then on the bike...can't wait! please post up a vid. although i am still not sure on the noise (too much?) these are by far the best looking and completely open up the rear wheel. very nice i was down at a local hang-out (alice's restaurant) and saw this termi low mount (no cat!) that also looked the t1ts. can't find it as an official part so he must have done a mod (yea, i have seen those that mount to the cat -- ick!)

Once I get the pipes on and figure out how to post a vid, I will...working on posting pictures first. Good luck with your decision. I definitely agree, anything to get rid of the yucky udder - just wreaks havoc on an otherwise beautiful bike.although i am still not sure on the noise (too much?) these are by far the best looking and completely open up the rear wheel. very nice i was down at a local hang-out (alice's restaurant) and saw this termi low mount (no cat!) that also looked the t1ts. can't find it as an official part so he must have done a mod (yea, i have seen those that mount to the cat -- ick!)

Post by: krista on August 11, 2009, 01:12:18 AM I am pretty convinced that I want the shot-gun style. I just started riding my S2R800 again and am falling in love with the Arrows on it again. They're kinda loud, but the booming exhaust beat sounds like a WWII fighter or something. So deep and with a mean over-rev. Mine are Ti cans, too. Maybe try to find someone with a S2R1000 with the Arrow full system and hear it? ;D Chris Title: Re: Still no exhaust. Post by: Jarvicious on August 11, 2009, 04:40:33 AM +1 on the Arrows for sound. My shop had a used S2R1k with a full CF setup and EVERYONE turned around when I fired that thing up. I personally think they're kinda ugly (even compared to stock) but the sound is great.
I'm willing to sacrifice sound for something as dead sexy as the Ex Box though. |
