I have an 05 cbr 600rr. I want to get a full system and one that not everyone has like yoshi, plus i dont like the look of them. Ive been looking at the akropovic pipes and the look well made, Anyone know how they sound?
And also ive heard that on some applications your bike wont benifit from some aftermarket pipes without further work on the motor.
I want the top of the line racing exuast but not if i need motor work too.

thanks for any info

Best is subjective, not objective.[sm=smiley16.gif]

Next, you need to stipulate the intent of the bike: street only, street w/ a smattering of track days, or track only bike. Why? What is the rpm range where the bike will spend most of its time.

Appearance: round, oval, or box style. Stainless, Alum., Carbon fibre or Ti.

Weather conditions: If you ride in inclemate weather you'll need to spring for the top eschelon because of better workmanship & materials will last longer.

In short: slip-ons probably give better low rpm/torque whilst sacrificing top end rpm. Full system typically offer gains at higher rpm. Thus the former might be better on the street; the latter being best for track use.

Arguably, Arata, Moriwaki Sato, are the very best. Akrapovic, Arrow, Leo Vinci, Ti-Force & Yoshimura are also in the hunt. Then maybe ones like Devil, D&D, Erion, Hindle, Jardine, M4 & TBR, etc are more price conscience.

Unless you have an AMA number in single digits it probably won't matter what brand you install. So, buy the one you like best. Back to the beginning.

Personally, I'd give Moriwaki a very serious look (I don't much care for the two can set-up, but the regular single can would be mega). Stunning build quality. Top-notch materials. And... you won't likely pull up to a stop light and see the same bike/exhaust next to yours.

BTW, Moriwaki is one of Honda's private skunk work consultants... they know Hondas inside & out. Just a thought.

akras are bombdigidy too!

fact is...just get a pipe...you don't need a f/s unless you going to race or track all the time. you'll lose lowend that you'll want to keep for the street and such.

what's your point of having f/s? just to be different or something?

want to be different? get a mod that really works...drop the f/s or pipe, get a slipper clutch...but if you just cruise around town then forget that idea.

what is the use of your bike?

 

well i want it to perform well on the street cause thats were i ride , but i really want to take it to the track cause i love racing. I used to race dirt bikes but want a change of pace. I guess i should just get a can for now try racing then make up my mind.

 

devil, jardine, or lazer
