I'm looking to buy some slip ons for my 05 R1. No clue which one to go with. Which one are the best. Is there really one better than other

As just posted in another thread five min ago (IE there are hundreds of threads, just do a search)

Akra, Graves, 2 Bros, Micron, D&D if you dare, Yosh, Termi, Arrow


...the list is huge and only open to debate between yourself and well you. Everyone on here will have an opinion on an exhast note, but alas only your brain will tell you what you like to hear.

I'd suggest seeing if you could find other bikes with different exhast installed and see what they sound like, as I don't think you are going for the performance value of just a slip-on.

I just bought some akrapovic hex head cf, pretty sick lookin man!! I think I'm gunna end up shortening them though, personally I think they are a little to long. I'm pretty sure they're coming out with some shorter ones though in a couple of months, there is some threads about it somewhare in here.

The new akras that look similar to the stock exhaust are HOT.
The main reason i didn't upgrade exhaust sooner was because the others took away from the nice lines of the bike.

I got stock ones with custom race baffles, but I would get the new Akrapovic Hex slip-ons.They are beautiful.Don't know about the sound though.
