another exhaust question

bluR · 05-18-2008, 02:58 AM

i have on 05 600 and i'm just wondering what would sound best on it. i'm looking for a bolt on and i'm not too much concerned with hp gains or anything. i really just want something that sounds good. the exhausts i've heard and know that i liked for sure are yoshi's and akrapovic's, but i have never heard the akrapovic on a gixer. the sound i'm looking for is kinda the deep, throaty sound under lower rpms, and not really high pitched under high rpms. that's pretty vague i know, but if anyone has any suggestions i'm all ears.

HP gain is usually minimal when it comes to slip-ons.
So your decision is usually based solely upon sound and looks.
It'd be almost impossible to tell you what exhaust sounds "good."
Everyone has different opinions.

I have a yosh trc, I think it's quite subtle at low rpms.
Even with the baffled removed.

But at higher rpms it really screams.
You said you wanted something deep, but yet listed the yosh.
So like I said, different opinions.

There's always youtube, the clips don't really do justice for actual sound
but they might give you an idea and maybe help get you in the right direction.

Like you said, opinion, but I have always considered them a deeper tone than most others. Most of the Two Brothers, for instance, to me sound like a lawn mower engine that's getting ready to explode. The yosh is comparatively high pitched if compared with let's say a Harley or something, but I think it is still pretty deep in the sportbike world.

Any luck making a decision yet?

No, I'm staying with a friend in California and haven't had time to really sit down and think about it. I'm going to really look into it when I get back home.

Check out the bruce exhaust. Seems pretty throaty.

Another quick question on this. I've decided on the Yosh TRS. The place I'm looking at ordering from says they are available in Race or Zyclone baffles. What is the difference? I'm thinking that maybe race would be louder and probably less restricted, but could someone tell me?
