Title: Exhaust for 696 / Arrow or SC Project? Post by: sbricon on August 09, 2011, 07:56:20 AM I'm looking at getting exhaustsfor my 696, and I'm thinking of something other then Termignonis.
I'm debating between the Arrow's slip-on (71731 AON) or the SC Project GP-Evo slip-ons, with db killers. I would appreciate your opinion on which of the above would be best. I do lots of street riding in the city and on country twisties and no track. Furthermore, (this might be a dumb question coming from a novice member) what is the real purpose of db killers on exhausts? Thanks Title: Re: Exhaust for 696 / Arrow or SC Project?

And it has transformed the bike from a docile kitty to a make the beast angry tiger. All other road users anxiously steer their vehicle to the side at the blimp of the throttle. [evil] Maybe I'm exaggerating a little but it does add some volume to the exhaust note. Title: Re: Exhaust for 696 / Arrow or SC Project?

Though it's not enforced much in the US there are noise laws on the books and some areas are getting more strict about enforcement. And some people just don't like a noisy bike...

Much appreciated!!!!! Title: Re: Exhaust for 696 / Arrow or SC Project? Post by: spike_africa on August 27, 2011, 06:41:42 PM I am going to go with the Danmotos in Ti and see how they are. For the cheap $220shipped I figured why not give it a shot.
