Installed a new exhaust on the R1: FMF powercore titanium. It's great, especially for the steal I got on it ($100 shipped, brand new) ... only issue is the midpipe doesn't have spring hooks, so I have to call them about that. It's not that loud but has a very nice tone, I like it. Sounds better than the (slightly cut-down) Yosh can that I had on previously.

And, since I had to pull the exhaust anyways, I threw my shorty straight pipe on for kicks ... it's LOUD! :)<br>

I've had mine for just over 3 weeks and love it ... great bikes!


Nice Bike!
Thanks Marc.

Indeed it does! And, on the spectrum of working on a bike, swapping the exhaust is about as easy as it gets. :D
