Default New Bike

I just purchased a 2004 F4I and was wondering what would be a decent aftermarket exhaust. I realize there that there are many choices but if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.

If this is your first bike ride it stock for awhile and figure out if you like loud noise at all times or not. The longer you keep a bike the more your tastes will change for what you think looks good and what doesn't. Considering F4is are getting older and older there are more and more good deals on ebay for cans to fit these bikes.

Thanks for the info. I'm just looking for a good performing slip on. one that's not obnoxiously loud but has good performance. Plus I don't like the look of the big cannon looking OEM pipe.

You will notice very very little performance gain, if any, from just sticking a pipe on.

performance from a slip-on is almost negligible

personally i prefer the sound of micron and 2 brothers

just go to youtube and pull up some videos of f4is with different exhausts, i know it's not perfect but it'll get you a ball park sound to go from

I'm pretty happy with my Yoshi. It's loud and angry, but not obnoxiously loud. I got some compliments from other sportbike riders.
