I went with boomtubes. The Exbox looks just like the udder. The tubes clean everything up.

I wanted Boom Tubes on my S4RS project but never could a response from anyone. Left three phone messages and a couple of emails.....nothing. So I bought the Exbox. I'll put in a plug for Bellissimoto here also. Called a few dealers about the Exbox and they said they were out and couldn't get them. Randy at Bellissimoto made a call and it was at my house in three days.

Seems like getting your hands on Boom Tubes is a bit of a challenge right now. I think this option may be even better looking than both Boom Tubes and Ex-Box http://ballerbolts.com/htwtuunseex.html |

I would go for the Quat-D! It gives an agressive look on the bike, boomtubes makes the bike look too naked.

Too naked? ... Did you say too naked? Nothing is too naked unless we decide it is!!! Were the Germans too naked when they bombed pearl harbor?? |

If pressed to choose between Exbox and Boomtubes..... I'd choose Exbox. Boomtubes do look cool its true, but I'm of the opinion that the Exbox will be less inefficient, especially with baffles fitted. I'd like to see some dyno numbers vs stock  . |

Too naked? WTF? More efficient what way? Baffles? Maybe ther should be stricter rules as to who they let in here.

I think a lot of people(myself included) have found that very non-restrictive exhaust can cause problems....
Installing even a small baffle has made a noticeable difference in how my bike runs, and that is after a tune. The tuner even suggests that the exhaust was causing issues with the tune.
Everyone seems to suggest the boomtubes aren't restrictive at all, and because of this, offer less of a performance gain but more of an aesthetic look.
No one has really compared both aide by side, and no one seems to know which exhaust system(termi, arrow, boomtubes, etc) is really the best....

I had a choice, and I chose boomtubes.
*less weight
*less chunky (visually)
*more configurable (tips, ceramic coating, baffle size)
*mean sound
*etc.
whats with the talk about efficiency and baffles and whatnot? boomtubes ARE baffled. they just aren't technically muffled. they provide plenty of backpressure. I am able to run boomtubes with an open airbox lid without a custom ECU, and while I'm sure its not perfectly tuned, a little tweaking on the TB adjuster screws has it running very strong and reliable.

Exbox - I've owned one. I bought it because it's the most out of the way. You can really see the rear wheel. It's centralized mass. It sounds good (subjective) and it is the simplest. Also, if you dump your bike, your exhaust will probably be fine. Slightly negative it visually makes the bike look a little square at the front which isn't great but it's worth it for me because it makes the tail look awesome.  |

I do think the Boom Tubes look a bit sexier but I heard there's a hell of a wait on getting your hands on some Boom tubes and I also heard the Boom Tubes are much louder than the Ex-Box which could be a problem for me as I like to go for weekend morning rides and live in a suburban subdivision where they already complain about the noise from my bike. If I make it louder I could have a full scale riot on my hands. Anyway I just scored an Ex-Box at a decent price so I'm gonna try that out. I'm thinking a Paul Smart or Sport 1000 next year or the year after so that will probably get the Boom Tubes as I like the naked look and prefer cans on women.  Then I can compare since I aint selling the Monster ever unless its to buy another one. |

....More efficient what way? Baffles?...
What do you imagine happens to the exit velocity of exhaust gasses if you place a restriction (baffles) within a straight pipe? Why do you imagine cans are significantly larger in diameter than the pipe they service? Like I said, Boomtubes look very cool  . But unless you're prepared to make max.noise, I'm questioning their efficiency. Whilst not looking as neat, Exbox at least has some expansion volume. Dyno numbers? Anybody?........................... |
