I was looking at the M4/Two Brother's shorty exhaust but I ended up going with the Hindle Evolution 3/4 with a full carbon can after talking to people around here.

It won't be here until Monday, however I know it sounds great, the quality is good and it can be had for for $560 - $660 depending on the muffler you want, very affordable.

Great exhaust I'm sure, you know I was going to order it myself, but the others were right, you can forget a belly pan/plate if you go with something like this.

 

well if you value your hearing don't go with all the little cans. this bike is LOUD AS F U C K.
all the guys with the little arrow cans or the sc project cans, austin racing cans they sound good riding behind the bike but riding it is terrible. I have a buddy with the austin racing can and he said even with ear plugs it's unbearable.

 

two brother, sc project, astin racing are all super loud. the toce is garbage basically just a slash cut straight pipe also super loud. graves is nice, hindle, arrow are all good the akra is nice i think you can do a 3/4 you don't need to spend bunch money on a full kit the stock headers are titanium anyways except on the R1S. yoshimura is very nice but only the alpha the slip-on sits very high looks awkward on the bike. the cross plane sounds good with just about any exhaust BUT its a very easy bike to make ignorantly loud. once you remove the cat the bike looks off it kinda needs some kind of belly pan so i would look into one of those and what will fit with it

 

I got my Hindle 3/4 and my Austin Racing belly plate installed, it all turned out great, this really is a nice exhaust for the price.

 

Yamaha is Graves as Graves is to Yamaha. :yesnod

 

Im for Graves as well. Was able to get it financed through the dealer so i went that route. More than happy. AR and SCProject are also quite appealing. Mines a 15 not a 16 obviously.

 

16 R1S - A Few Exhaust Questions

Alright y'all,

I just picked up the 2016 R1S (I'm mainly street so the 9 lbs/material and minor differences won't effect me much). Finalizing the choices on my exhaust. I'm deciding on the either the Akrapovic M1 with link pipe (If I can find at reasonable price), the M4 GP2 (Ceramic/Titanium) or Austin. Open to opinions as I am newer to the crossplane crank and have not heard a lot in person.

Questions:

Ceramic vs Titanium with the M4 GP2 - Definitely a price difference so what is your take on the differences?

The Akra setup with link pipe is Titanium but that won't make a different connecting it to the R1S headers?

Any input/advice is appreciated in advance.

Cheers :beerchug:

What color bike did you end up going with?

 

Went with the matte gray/black man. My car is the same so clearly I have a liking to that scheme hah. Especially the matte. I think I am going to go with a Austin Racing carbon can with black tip and if I don't get the shorty model that still allows for the belly pan, I'll go ceramic pipe that's black. I talked to a very, VERY well known shop here in SoCal that has installed every pipe and they say Akra, Graves & Austin are the best for performance and noise; Austin being the loudest of course

 

Sounds like a great plan. Cant beat a matte/ black bike.

 

Graves and Yamaha are like Spaghetti and Meatballs - they simply belong together. Do it right - go Graves.

 

Graves is very nice, but honestly they seem to be absurdly expensive. I've looked at the output gains by using them instead of a more affordable solution like Hindle, and honestly it's pretty much the same.

At the end of the day it's aesthetic differences, a few composites and an additional $500 for the name and reputation. Trust me, I would rather have your system, but for things like this it's always about the price/performance ratio for me, mostly anything beyond that kind of takes a voyage into the realms of fanboyism.

P.S. We should go riding sometime, I'm right over in the valley, this weather has been really annoying huh lol? :grin2:

 

When you say valley, are you talking SoCal because I technically live in the "low valley" out here. Haha.

 

No haha, Maple Valley, it's a town right down the road from him.

 

Graves published their dyno charts for their full exhaust and their 3/4 system. I overlayed the lines in a computer program and the powerband curves were almost identical. If you were being ultra picky, you could find a couple horsepower in the lower parts of the power band and maybe a couple up top.

Nothing to write home about. As long as you ditch the CAT, use block offs and tune the bike, you'll be pretty pumped.

For sake of science, I only used a DECAT link pipe, blockoff plates and SBU tune. Massive increases from bottom to top.
