Just picked up an 05 R1. Gotta replace the exhaust though to start with, it's stock. Anyone have any luck with those AR kits or Danmoto?

Can't go wrong with a a&r baffle kit man. I know the 07 08 has titanium cans... so I just put in the baffles. Best $100 I've ever spent.

Kit didn't fit too well though... had to do a lot of hand fitting. Turns out I wasn't the only one having issues with fitment. I may have gotten mine in a bad batch with qc issues.

Still bad ass once its assembled

Install is a BREEZE! nothing to it I Believe there is a "how to" here on the forum. Now for me I also shorten mine maybe an inch to flow better with thr tail section

Sent from my SPH-L720

i wouldn't say the a&r baffles are a performance mod, but they sure sound sweet, installation for you should be a breeze, for me it took an entire day. they say to grind out the rivets, but when i did it just melted the excess rivet material to the other material in the cans, it's way easier to drill them out. it would have saved me hours :fact i only ran them for about 5 months before i wrecked hard enough to kill the cans, then i picked up a sweet deal on a used full TI system from a member here. 7 wrecks later, they're still going strong.
