Slip-On Exhaust, Worth It?

**HBerry** · 03-25-05, 11:48 PM

So would putting on a slip-on exhaust on my bike be worth it or is it just like putting a muffler on a civic, it looks nice, sounds like shit, and does nothing for preformance?

with slip-ons, you will not get any performance gains, but you will get a nicer sound. I personally hate the sound of any stock pipes.

i put mine on for the sound. I hate the sound of many stock pipes and I wanted a low-end growl so I went with a slip on.
Some look nice too.

it you change jets or fuel map along with it, you will see small gains

When I did my slipon. It did help the power curve in my seat of the pants dyno test. Might be down a few somewhere, but it feels more smooth. No big dips.

The slip on will give you some gains. It will also drop a huge amount of weight off the bike as well.

Some slip-ons sound worse than stock.

I put the Cobra F1-s on my '89 600R and it doesn't sound as smooth as the stock one does ~3,500-5,500.

It's also, just, too loud. I'm going to try and repack it and see if it makes a difference.

true. most sites for slip-ons you can here a sound clip. or you can google it and i am sure you will find something. someone here may even have one you can here in person

Slipons for the RC make a world of difference with PC3R, nevermind losing about 30#

and the sound...

**Tiller Ayuh** · 03-26-05, 03:58 PM

I saw very small HP gains with just the slip on, then I did a PCII, and gained 9RWH...It was well worth the money to unleash the V-Twin sound!!

On my CBR F4 a Two Brothers slip-on smothed out a huge power dip at around 6-7k RPMs.

Plus it sounds great

Ok, adding on to this question, would it behove (sp?) me to buy a PCIIIUSB first or a slip on?

**Karaya One** · 03-28-05, 11:32 AM

What kind of bike? We do FMF and I'll blow it out at cost.

After installing a Two Brothers slip on for my sv650 it was putting out +/- 140hp..That's about a 50% jump..

Mac: Hey Farva what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy stuff on the wall and the mozzarella sticks?
Farva: You mean Shenanigans?
Rabbit: OOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

**Wayne-o** · 03-28-05, 06:04 PM

I put mine on cuz they cost so freakin much.

Jus kiddin....................I think the addition of an after market silencer on a V-twin is the best. I did it on my CBR600F4i and it did sound nicer but more like an angry ricer.

Holy crap!!! (emphasis on crap) I wasted my money with my sv650. I put on a full yoshimura full titanium RS-3 and a pcIII. and I only get 70hp oh yeah that is after I wasted my money getting a custom map made for my bike
so you got a 100% increase with a slip-on
