Hey guys, have been away for a long time. Was lookin for some info on the Laser quad exhaust for an 05 R1. Seen it online and looks f*ckin awesome! I just want to know if its actually adding weight and how much performance i would gain. Id love to hear the sound if anyone has a video. Peace out Yahamaians~

Heavier than shit, ugly, no "performance gains". Pretty much for squid types.

I do, I never did it for performance but I do like the looks of it, everyone around here has two brothers, yoshimura or Akrapovic, I wanted something different, so thats when I found the Laser

oh I could care less about what you all think .. I'm playing around, unlike the kid who got the Yamaha tattoo on his back, to be very honest, if I knew that there was an exhaust out there like the Laser quad, I can't remember the name but it looks sharper than the Laser I would had gotten it instead of the Laser, someone posted somethign up asking about it not too long ago actually

.....

so far seems like almost everyone is just tearing the exhaust apart with words. i didnt ask everyone if they liked the exhaust, i asked for some stats and possibly to hear it. I agree with that one guy who has the exhaust. Im sick of seeing the exact same thing on every R1 i see. Its always Two Bros, Graves, ect.... When did gettin something different become open day to rag on people?

Our own!

A pipe you rarely see and to me it's a great set is - G-YTR Carbon pipes! They sound great and look fantastic on the R1.

Not here in ATL. You see the GYTR Carbons all the time. I think it's area based. That's why I switched from my Termignoni w/ carbon cans w/ conical endcaps to my shortened Akrapovic Race exhaust. It has the old school canister design and it's shortened 14" so it looks different from all the R1s. No carbon and no conical endcaps.

If you want to be different look at the Leo Vince full exhaust in carbon fiber w/ the conical endcaps. Their design for the endcaps are slash cut down instead of slash cut inward or outward. Definitely a good look.

Oh and I too hate he Laser exhaust. There is a rider here in ATL w/ on on the same 06 blue R1 as mine and I just can't stand it. It doesn't even have an amazing sound or anything. An exhaust has to do 3 things for me-perform, sound amazing, and look good. The laser doesn't do 2 out of the 3(to me it doesn't do any out of the 3) so definitely not worth it.

Wow, a bit rough up here on the new guy... :)

It seems that the comments are about "one" of the Laser designs, and we were not sure if everyone knows there are TWO different Laser exhausts for the R1's and most other machines...

The "quad" Xtreme (the line name) is very unique to say the least, but if MV Agusta can use it somebody thinks it looks good. To each their own, we have seen worse so no picking on this one alone!

But the other exhaust Laser offers that maybe "Kiddscreamer" might want to also consider is the Stealth, which is the newest design released about 2 years ago:

"Kidscreamer" have you seen these before?

We have sound files and such, so let us know if we can assist you in any way.

I actually kind of like the exhaust but i want performance and weight savings. If i had the extra dough i would buy the newer graves kit to make mine have newer version of the cans but its 800 bones and i dnt even gain any hp just newer looks
