A big fan of them. These bikes are so high performance as it is no mortal human can really ride them to the limit stock so to me it doesn't really matter if I get like 5 less hp with something like a Taylor made over other exhausts I just like the way they look.
I'm not personally a fan of the shorty on the later model ones... I think it makes the tail look funny and a nice set of underseat cans makes a bike look sweeeeet imo.
I think it looks good when the tip is pretty much flush with the belly pan so basically there is very little exhaust showing. I don't like the short cans that stick out on the side at all.
I'm glad I switched back to the undertail exhaust. I used to have a custom low mount on my 08. Too loud and it lost a ton of performance. And now with every company going back to the side mounted pipes, I'm thankful to have a different look out there.
