mrdap Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hello to All, I've been off the forum for a while, but now I've got this huge urge to ride my XX! So I'm back into it again, big time! Forgive me if this has been answered somewhere on the forum but a search turned up little info. I am interested in replacing my complete exhaust system on my '02 Bird, mainly to reduce weight and to get a a little more power. I plan to install a PCIII and a K&N air filter as well to get the most benefit. Was going to go titanium, like the low weight and the finish. I'm looking for a quality, well made system. I'm not interested in making a lot of noise! Just mellow deeper sound. Any suggestions on the best system to get? So far, I have looked at ( on the internet): Akropovic Micron Muzzy Yoshimura Ti-Force and can't get enough info to have any idea which one (or ones) are best. Any ideas? Thanks. mrdap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganDonor Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I don't think mine's available anymore... too bad. I have the shotgun (double barrel) from Two Brothers... nice sound... makes all the XX'ers take notice, as well as deer and everyone I pass... nice deep sound, plus because it's all on one side it doesn't have the power-robbing split in the header between the dual side exhaust...

The Krypt Keeper Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 A full Akro would be the best bet. This with a PCIII properly tuned would give you your best results. Also the 2 Bros. Shotgun system is no longer available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB4XX Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Buy a set of the new Hindle High Mounts. A board member requested them and they used his bike for the prototypes. They sound SWEEET!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaSilverBird Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Hey Organ!!!Nice!!! Are ya sure I can't still get one? Good one! They don't make them anymore. I think i've seen them on ebay twice in about the last year and a half. I think one set was sold on the forum too. Very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvking Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Quality on Microns are good and they have a deep mellow sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomek Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Titanium Ti-force is IMHO the best value.It is gonna be the lightest and probably give the best power gains by virtue of being made of Ti. It is no joke.All thinks being equal titanium headers vs.stainless steel headers Ti will make more power. Roadracing World tasted M4 full exhaust on superstock spec GSXR 750.Stainless stell headers made 145 rwhp,Titanium -148 rwhp,with more power everywhere.They used the same muffler for both tests.They where done like 30 minutes apart.. They theorized that Ti retains exhaust heat better therefore pipe worked more efficiently. Anyway it is pretty interesting,should make one think twice before replacing stock titanium header on many bikes with aftermarked ss parts. That Ti-Force is about 1150 $. BTW I have full Race Yosh, very good quality and good sound and power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red J Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Tiforce should be the best. The best on a budget would be the Akrapovic. IMO. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Erion, Micron, or Acropovic would be my 1st choises. Two Brothers, Leo-Vincy, Yosh., would be a great 2nd choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
