2015 Taylormade exhaust

Doesn't look nearly as good as it did on other bikes. The pipe looks like the carbon fiber melted to it, it's pointing down, and the bellpan/fairing doesn't go all the way around the pipe like on other bikes. Big disappointment.

Why is it so hard to make a decent looking exhaust for the 2015 R1? For $1000 it seems kind of rough.

Here's what it looked like on the CBR 1000RR. Pure perfection.

what do you mean? Never mind, I got it :) yeah I agree and for some reason it doesn't look like it belong there... something is off.

I agree ... not a graves fan boy. The original graves for this bike looked rediculous but the short looks much better. I still don't think it is the best looking... to me... that goes to racefit. I just didn't want to wait for racefit and was scared it would be insanely loud.

I don't think it's bad... But I'm not nearly as impressed with it as I was hoping to be...
Exactly... For $1000 it should be freaking beautiful
Not really... this comes with far more than most exhaust out there. You won't get crap for $1000 except one of the bargain brands.. m4 or two bros.... I do like the sound of the two bros.

I had a closer look at the pictures and I agree - it looks weird because the bottom line of the carbon panel / fake belly pan curves upwards towards the back. If this line would be straight - like a proper belly pan or even the stock cat - it would look much better.

I don't think it's bad at all. All the stuff is there to make this looks nice. Just the CF needs to be color coded. Having the CF on the non-M just sticks out like a sore thumb. And even on the M, from what I hear, the CF is flawless. So variations in the weave might make it still stand out.

Honestly, after watching the video I like this set-up. IMO, the only thing I would change/like to see would be the carbon being a twill weave instead of what appears to be the plain weave.
