I have an 05 with the M2h and love it. I've been around a lot RS5s as well. The 2bros is louder and they have near the same sound. I think the 2bros is deeper.

they both sound like angry bee crap or a badly tuned harley
get a leo vince or akro or better yet wait for sato or arata to come out

why is sound such a big deal. its not like cars are going to hear you regardless of what you run.

I'm with you on this one! I've the akra and am pleased - gotta say that sound wasn't a consideration for me. This exhaust isn't annoying like that video that you posted.

How can you give out "wrong advice" on a question about sound? It's called an opinion and he was only asking about the two different exhausts.

I can see the comparison to an "angry bee" because that's what every narrow minded harley rider uses, but to use "badly tuned harley"... you just shot your expertise in the foot on that one.

i gave a personal opinion.
i hardley (pun intended) see how my peronal opinion on an exhaust pipe hurts expertise. i have heard both pipe i dont like either. based on all the research i have done on bike exhausts for the last 3 years over the entire internet performance wise neither of those stand up to quality pipes and furthermore to me my analogy is dead on because that is the beauty of opinion. i could say to me it sounded like cypress hill coming out of the london symphony orchestra. does that make it any more less true to me if i truly believe that. i would think that as an admin you would have known this by now.

so i am trying to give a little advice and go with a good pipe that is worth the money and not something cheap just so he can say he has a new pipe.

You really don't see a flaw in your opinion to comparing any sport bike exhaust to a "badly tuned harley? That's where you're loosing credibility.

I like different opinions and we encourage them here. I'm not saying you're wrong with your opinion that it's a waste of money to buy a slip on, that's your call. Most of us do not see the added 1 to 5% power increase of a full system worth the 1000-1500 dollar price tag. We buy a slip on for either a different sound or different look. The stock can is heavy, ugly and quiet. So the options are fork out $$$ for a FS or slip on. Is it also your opioin that either leo vince or akro make slip ons that produce the tune and power gains you like?

Do you have a sound clip of your exhaust of choice? I'd like to hear the m compared to the 2bros, yoshi and akrapovic I heard. I do have one of my M2h ( I know you hate) if I can find, I'll post it up.
