they haven't really been keeping up with the times, i see them all the time on old bikes or still selling for old bikes, but they just seem to be outdated and dont have much style... i like yoshimura myself, but hindle is great for the price as well as M4, and i know temp is gonna tell you to get the micron so i'll go ahead and say it for him

Yeah I mean I figured I would probably buy the yosh one but I mean Vance and hines isnt bad or anything right? I want a loud exhaust but I just want a slip on. Like I read earlier somewhere and I have heard it many of times the loud exhaust more or less can save your life cause if people dont hear you they probably wont see you thats my whole issue why I want something before I even put my bik on the street. And I believe my cousin had a Micron on his Ninga600rr when he had it last year. Sounded really good but wasnt loud enough with just a slip on will that be basically as loud as it will be?

vance and hines is better for cruisers then it is for sportbikes

i agree with temp's above statement... if you want loud go with D&D... there was a recent study that showed a louder exhaust had no effect on accident rate, but there was some part of the study that made it kinda not trust worthy i can't remember what it was

friction zone did an article on this a while back.....noise does not save you, nor does it do anything for you but make noise......

Oh ok well I have just heard that somewhere and in my opinion it is just logical thinking really that if someone were in a suv say and they had there music fairly high on a saturday afternoon they probably wont be looking in all mirrors and doing everything to really see if a bike is behind them or beside or what have you but if your exhaust was loud they would hear you and recognize that you are there.
