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.

Agreed! Nice work on the belly pan close out thou! BTW - What's with that huge exhaust opening? Looks like someone is trying way too hard compensate for something! :grin2:
The bike just looks goofy with no belly pan. So no exhaust looks right on the bike without one. At least this doesnt look like an afterthought on the bike.
Need to see this on an M. Looks designed for an M. Polish the slash edge, add a SS wire mesh 1/2" in from the slash, bellypan stickers and it will look great imo.
If graves put his name on this, people would buy this cause its graves. maybe if the exhaust outlet was flush with the belly pan and it had some mesh to cover it up it may look more appealing.
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.
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.

Yea I agree not quite what I was hoping for. Don't like how it sticks out to the side. Makes for a weird angle and doesn't match the lines of the bike. Already ordered my graves with the 265mm can. Can't F in Wait
Agree, doesn't look nearly as good as on the CBR. The R1 bellypan is curved, too - I think it should be more straight and the exhaust opening should be flush with the fairing and not stick out like it does for the new R1. Hm, back to the drawing board for me.
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.
still looks better than that big open void with a full exhaust. skeptical of the quality. his install video looks like the black coating scratches off really easy.
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.
I kind of like it. I honestly like it a lot more than all the other options on the market. it still isn't worth $1k though. none of the exhausts slip ons are worth what these companies are asking. anything more than $500 is a total scham
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.
It's insane what they are asking for for these things. This one sticks out like a sore thumb, im not sure why they cant come up with a clean design for this bike. The 2008 Honda I had was a work of art w/ taylor made.
