Could I get some input on picking out a pipe??? Please!!!
I just got my 929RR a few weeks ago and thinking about what mods I need to do. The first thing I want is a pipe. That HUGE stock thing is so ugly and makes it sound like a sewing machine.
To start this out I would like to say that my local dealerships are completely worthless. The parts guy tells me they sell like 5 sport bikes a year and he only knows about the brand new ones. Anything over a year or 2 old is "old school" and they know nothing about it. Once they get our money for a new bike they dont want to help us anymore.
My goal for modding this bike is to let it breath a little beter and gain some power. Im not looking for LOTS of noise and would kind of like something on the quiet side. I like to ride and a headache after 20 minutes is not my idea of a fun ride.
Any input you may have about your exhaust would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
BTW my bike is completely stock now.

Thanks for the input guys!
Ive been looking at the Akropovic. I think thats what Im gonna go with. So far everyone Ive talked to that has one likes it. I understand that its gonna get louder and lots of these pipes sound sweet, but some are just stupid loud and thats what Im trying to avoid.

I have a Micron slip on and it sounds good, but the more I ride, the better it sounds. The tone gets deeper and throaty. I really like the sound and the look. I added a BMC air filter instead of the k&n to increase the HP. The k&n filter showed a loss in HP during dyno testing. The BMC showed an increase.
