i wold try to find a used cf pipe. otherwise you are hacking up too much money. if you are mechanically inclinded you should be able to take cf pipe, cut them apart and try different types of stuffing to quiet your machine down.

cf is carbon fiber.

and i meant "take it apart" not take them apart"

sorry if i was unclear. to go a little deeper into the subject:

find a cf pipe
drill the rivots on one end
figure out how long you want it and cut to size
get some different exhaust repacking material like fiberglass and steel wool mesh
stuff the pipe with these materials
tape (do not rivot yet)
put on bike
start bike

if too loud take some material out or add some (sometimes, the more that you stuff into the pipe, the louder it gets)
keep testing until you get the desired result

re-rivot pipe

install

enjoy.

doesnt matter which end. I pick the part that connects to the midpipe when i do my friend's pipes but that is only becuase the logo of the company that made it is usually on top.
