Exhausts

Really? Weight difference is a consideration for a performance bike. My Yoshimura CF is majorly less weight than the stock unit. Performance is also a little thing that helps too. ;-)

LOL Here it goes again.
Bottom line: Slip-on's provide a very minor performance boost, even when considering the weight change. A good sit on the toilet will take 5lbs off your bike. If you want performance exhaust, you have to replace the manifold WITH the muffler. The only reasons to get a slip-on are looks and sound (which, to some, are valid reasons). but with how much a slip-on costs, just save up the few extra bucks and get yourself a worthwhile system.

Unless you are getting a full system with a tune then you are getting jack **** for performance with a slip-on.

It's like 5lbs, and you compensate as the driver. I personally swapped my entire exhaust out, and didn't feel a difference.
