Edward Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I have the TBR C4 CFs. I like them alot. They're well made, look great, and produce a deep bassy sound. The only thing I would change is the CF to Titanium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBirdXX Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I like my Micron full system. Geez, anything's better than the stock exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I've got the TBR ovals in stainless on my bird. Just slip ons though, wanted to keep the dual, but not break the bank on a full setup. I've had em for about a year and a half, no problems. Nice mellow idle note, with a loud rasp around redline :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violent J Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 :twisted: I have a full system Yoshimura on mine. Probably doesn't make as much hp as a two bros. but I've always loved how the Yosh's sound :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiDNiTXX Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I have yet to see any claims that an aftermarket exhaust header is "better" then the stock on the XX. That withstanding, my favorite is TiForce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteman Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 i have a 2 bros full system with aluminum can. its actually quiet. i love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I have yet to see any claims that an aftermarket exhaust header is "better" then the stock on the XX. That withstanding, my favorite is TiForce. TBR claims 6 to 8hp gain with the use of their slip-ons. That would be for the 1999 and 2000 models. Have to check their web site for info on the other model years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aptyp Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 What about weight savings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86gn Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Akra!! As far as weight savings I dropped 17 lbs. with slip ons and the centerstand is good for another 4lbs. I imagine a full system would offer even greater weight savings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbrd2u Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 When you compare the 2 Bros. with the Micron, the Micron is about a half-inch larger in diameter where it joins the can. This has gotta mean better flow - the music is about the same, but the PCII map is better for the Micron (unless you alter it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarnyk Posted April 20, 2004 Share Posted April 20, 2004 I got Akrapovic and I get compliments on the sound all the time and I ride with other XX owners. :razz: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGA XX Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Akra/w PC3. Love it. Wheelies easier, much lighter, and sounds fucking evil as hell :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 On a stock motor, the Akra will produce decent results, and a significant weight savings over stock. Quality is great, too. On a modified motor, or for maximum gain, you can't beat the TiForce system. Tapered head pipes, large piping, etc. Plus, it's totally titanium, and weights less than 9lbs! :shock: Spacecraft quality, too. Supposedly good for 10-12hp on a stock motor. The only problem with the TiForce is the price. $1195 for a full system, and add another $100 for a rainbow finish on the ti can. The Akra can be had for $750. The stock header is very restrictive, and has glass packing in the collector area. The biggest problem with the stocker is where it splits in two behind the engine, forcing a 90deg turn in the exhaust flow. Welds are intrusive to the ports as well, hurting flow. If you want performance, go with a full system. If you want looks & sound, go with slip-ons. My $.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonW Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 Yep, Chris is right. I think just about any aftermarket header is going to be better than stock. Here's the inside of one that I disected. You can see the baffling tubes and the weld slag that Chris is refering to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
