Default Scorpion exhaust VS. D&D!!!!

I have a 2003 ZX9. I am repalcing the D&D exhaust, & I am looking at the scorpion.. Does anyone know how they compare in sound? The D&D was just to damn loud!!!

Thanks!!

I have only used the Scorpions on my RC51, and I've heard of problems with quality, although mine are fine. They sound very nice, not too loud. To be honest though, I would put an Akrapovic on a ZX-9R. Nothing else.

We just put a Scorpion on my g/f's SVS, and I am very impressed, I don't like it as much as the Renegade's I have on my SV, but its definitely nice and we got it at a great price.

There are a few positive things about the Scorpion I do like... Lifetime warranty, never having to repack it, & I can get a slip on for about $275.00...

Have a Scorpion on my TT. I've had mine for about 2.5 years and no problems with fit/finish. Looks and sounds great. Deeper exhaust note than stock and a touch louder, although not obnoxiously so. Sounds a helluva lot better than the D&D's I've heard.

Personally, I hate D&Ds. They are really too loud and not good quality.
