Just bought a 2008 R1 wanted to know what type of exhaust to put on? Not too worried about sound just performance and suggestions? I like the Yoshimura but not sure about performance. Please help Thanks

If you want to go faster the best way is to work on the carbon based interface between the bars and the seat, every bike has one that with a few advanced riding courses a track day or two can be had significant gains. After that set up your suspension as you are more likely to hold the throttle on further for longer if the bike is not trying to spit you off.

Exhausts there won't be a great deal of variation between the brands Termi makes some nice stuff and is usually well researched so does Leo Vince, Yoshi is pretty good too, stay away from taylor made or two brothers as then tend to fall apart quickly.

If you want performance are you getting a full race exhaust?

You might need a full exhaust system...those newer liter bikes need all the performance help they can get.

Just ride it.

An Exhaust wont give you any performance. If they claim that it does, cut that number in half or more. It definatly wont be anything noticable. The only reason to do an exhaust is for the sound.

weight savings, and if the manufacturer has a cat or just a restrictive exhaust like a lot of them do, the aftermarket exhaust are a lot less restrictive.

Exactly! I was even suprised at how much a stock exhaust system can weigh. The difference between the weight of a stock and aftermarket exhaust is quite a bit in comparison.

Yep true. The hayabusa's OEM exhaust cans are about 18lbs each.

All that weight off makes for better weight distrobution
