M4 or Toce exhaust for 05 R1?

I have a dilema. Which exhaust for an 05 R1 would be better, sound wise. I'm looking for a very aggressive sound. Not a high pitched whine. I don't care about HP gains or whatever. I have an M4 on my R6, and it sounds amazing. I was thinking of getting the titanium M4 exhaust for an R1. But the Toce quad pipe sounds pretty good too, and the quad pipes don't look too bad. What do you think?
if you got pics or vid of your personal R1 with either exhaust, id love to see it.

about baffling the stocks, how and where do i go about that? ive heard about doing that. I prefer the look of the stock exhaust more than all others, but where can i go to get custom baffles?

Toce seems good too, they look sweet, and arent that pricey, at least compared to a full system from M4 which can cost up to 2K.
But i want the best, most aggressive rumble. with that glasspack sound. Thats what the R6 has, and if i could just slap that on my R1 i would.

Yea, originally i asked a bunch of people about all brands. I didnt like the look of any two brothers or akoprovic, i dont like yoshi at all, graves didnt have much to offer. M4 has a good selection, just pricey. Toce is good for looks, and sounds ok.

Is it? I am not too knowledgeable of catback systems. I've been looking into the in-depth operation of both brands, but they use alot of terms and lingo im not too familiar with :dundun:
The Toce looks to be a straightforward, clean system. The quad pipes im sure is more for looks, but im glad they have it cut like that to conform to the tail, more like the stock cans. most aftermarkets for the 05 are just big round pipes, and dont look too flush. Thats one of my little peeves i guess.
I love the 05 R1 exhaust, it's one of my favorite features of the bike. Its not like the CBR undertail thats a big block sticking out of the ass look.

ill admit i was a little skeptical of the quad pipe look originally, but it sorta grew on me. and they arent huge pipes either. just 4 small ones that conform to the tail nicely. Ive seen some quad pipes that are giant and just protrude like crazy, and those are horrid.
and yea, id take the passenger pegs off. i dont carry passengers, and dont need them to hold an exhaust on, so they arent gonna be on there. thanks for the tip though.
i think im gonna go for toce. also for the price. just over 800 for the t slash. if i got an M4, id want a full titanium setup, and thats over 2k.
hell, maybe someday ill just get both and try them both out :hammer:

r6 does sound nice, i agree.
i had baffles in stock pipes, with decat, sounds pretty damn nice, and now i have a titanium graves.
ill admit, stock with baffles sounds meaner if you ask me.
i heatwrapped mine and painted black, looked really nice, stock cans are some of the nicest stock pipes on any bike almost, so making them sound sweet is a plus.

i had a m4 on my r6, and i loves the sound. later i shortened them, and it sounded even better with a few flames out of them once let go of the throttle :)

you gotta hear graves before you dismiss them, they weigh NOTHING and sound amazing.
