ExBox or Boom Tubes?

[Mduc]

I tried searching but cant find any threads on my questions. I have an 07 S2R1K and want to change the exhaust. I am pretty sure the ExBox should run fine on the bike with Fatduc. I read that a  few did it and it works well as long as I dont mess with the airbox. I was also looking at the boom tubes as I like the look as well. So my questions are:

Will boom tubes run well with just fatduc installed since there is no back pressure from them?

How would you rate ExBox vs boomtubes?

Are boomtubes a lot lauder than ExBox?

My main concern is will the bike run well just with boomtubes and fatduc so that I do not have to mess around with any tuning afterward?

Thanks

BoomTubes will be louder, don't know about the fatduc system. I have an 06 with the O2 sensore removed and a PCIII...

boomtubes have varying amounts of backpressure, depending on how you request them to be baffled.  I would recommend you hit up Mark at MotoCreations for all your boomtube inquiries; he's been able to answer all the questions I had about them, so he should be very helpful for you as well.  I should add he's very honest too; just because he makes the boomtubes doesn't mean he's gonna feed you a bunch of BS just to sell his product.  Just tell him what you want and he can steer you in the right direction.

Hey Mduc - please follow-up with your results, I happen to be looking at both Ex box and boomtubes as well (Zards too).  I'd love to hear the results of your conversation.

Thanks,

I just got my boomtubes. Once I install with PC I'll be more helpful.

How would you rate ExBox vs boomtubes? ex box will not be anywhere near as loud

Are boomtubes a lot louder than ExBox? yes

My main concern is will the bike run well just with boomtubes and fatduc so that I do not have to mess around with any tuning afterward? dont know about the boom tubes, but the ex box is plug and play as long as you havent changed anything else (open air box, etc...)

Thanks

so personal experience with exbox:

WORST FITMENT EVER.

I bought a pair from Motowheels. Complained to them about fitment. Since I lived nearby they told me to drop my bike off and they would fit the exhaust from me. 1 week later I get a call.

Motowheels: "Yeah you're right, the fitment sucks on this piece. That happens with some italian manufacturers sometimes"

Ended up trading it in for a pair of arrows.. - EXACTLY the opposite in the fitment category.

BTW...My boom tubes are on order should be here in a week or so. They weigh like 7 pounds total. Exbox weights like 15

Oh an by the way, boomtubes even with the ceramic coating are cheaper than the Ex-Box..

My dislike for the exbox is slowly oozing out once again. The pain lingers..

Seriously, you guys have no idea how much I had to endure.

Almost how I felt about my Termis.  A local guy had to cut an s-pipe, rotate the halves and weld it back together.

My Ex-Box bolted up perfectly.

how baffeled can you get with the boomtubes? From the sound of nakids bike, its way to loud. but army_intels biike sounds pretty sweet. Would be great if we could get some professional sound clips of it!

After a week of trying to fit it right, i took a torch to it heated the rear cylinder header piece till it was glowing red hot and bent it. It fit better but it would backfire at 4k EVERY time...

I dare you to something different

[Mduc]

Wow thank you all for the responses. I will try to give them a call tomorrow from work if I have some time. I don't know how much baffling can be done but I will ask when I call.

I like the sound of the Arrows but I definitely like the look of the open wheel. I guess I can check youtube for boom tubes sound but there is nothing like standing next to the bike to see if you like it.

Will post something after I speak with them.

Damn I cant wait to get this bike complete cause I don't know how much more my wallet can take.  

Wonder which will crack first the wallet or the wife  

[ghosthound]

Yeah, I got a used exbox from someone on here and the fitment leaves much to be desired.  That said, i prefer the look of the Exbox over the boomtubes.

[Smokescreen]

I don't know who off hand, but there are a couple manufacturers that offer dual underdeat, or seatside highmount pipes that leave a lot more visibility of the rear wheel.  A friend of mine has an S4R with these dual highmounts, and they look pretty slick.  No big gap between wheel and bike, and no wheel removal issues.

Having said that, I gotta say, having the Arrow Ti system with removable baffles if hella nice (on my 06 S2R1K)
