Just got a 1988 CBR1000f in April, and have already put 2100 miles on it. Love it. Just gonna ride it as it for this summer, but was wanting to look into performance upgrades maybe in the fall. One of the biggies I wanted to look at was exhaust. Is there anything available for this bike, and if so, what, and where can I find it? I like the 4 into 2 look it comes with, but I want to get a bit more performance, so if I have to scrap that I will. My bike is supposed to have been jetted, though I have not had the chance to have that checked. Any advice you guys can throw my way would be very much appreciated.

 

look at the vance and hines 4-2-1 ehaust. Not real expensive and sound fairly good.

 

See my reply to rdsii64 under the post entitled new exhaust.

 

You can get high performance pipe fitted no problem but thy will tell you that your back stand will have to go!!! Iwill saythat you try and keep it in line with the stile of the bike!!

 

I have a V and H on my 90'. Sounds good but it was sooooo loud even after a repack I welded a washer at a angle to put alittle back pressure on it. Better but still a bit loud. I would trade for a stock exhaust in a second (bike came w/VH) if I had the chance. Not sure on the preformance gain if any. Just my 2 cents. Oh yeah the center stand fits fine w/my VH, big plus.

 

I fitted two car mufflers to mine sound good andenough back pressure with baffles in them. Have a look on bikepic.com 88CBR
