Hey I'll be getting an '06 F4i this weekend and am shopping around for aftermarket slip-on pipes for it. I don't need any more HP as I don't plan on racing the bike or "going to the track". Nor do I want an obnoxious sound as I've heard the D&D tends to have. What brands would you guys recommend for build quality and a nice deep growl. So far Akrapovic seems to have the best build quality, however I'm not sure how loud they are...Any comments or suggestions? Thanks!

 

get the Leo Vince... its good...

 

Btw can you guys tell me what makes your pipe good and above the rest?

And I wonder if Ti or CF would look better on the F4i...don't suggest stainless steel or Al, they're not options

 

u can see my CF Hindle in my pic...i wouldnt have any other pipe...sound is perfect and just looks so damn sexy

 

not too jack in but also have a 06 F4I i was also looking at the Akrapovic but id like a nce F1 sounding exhaust. Also found this site with 04 slipon test http://www.sportrider.com/tech/146_0410_pipe_clips/

 

I love my Hindle... nice deep note but not obnoxiously loud at all! I don't like real loud exhausts cuz the constant droning on the highway drives me insane, but the Hindle once you get crusing on the highway you can barely hear it, but when accelerating it's definitely louder than stock, but nowhere near annoyingly loud. It gets my recommendation

I've got some video clips if you'd like to hear it

 

yeah id like too hear it if you wouldent mind.

 

Here ya go!

Here's also a few from my tank mount as well as somebody else filming from the side so you can kinda hear it during riding...

note: this first one seems to be loading real slow for some reason, I don't know why. It will work though just takes longer

sounds exacly like mine..gotta love it

 

Hindle eh? Humm, I don't know much about them, like I said I'm looking at the Akrapovic, donno if any guys on the forum have experience with that pipe. Still debating b/w CF or Ti on a yellow '06 though.
