I had a D&D on my CBR6 and it screamed. Sarah could hear me coming home the whole way round Cardiff link road.

Solid buid quality from what I remember. It survived the battering I had to give things to change the rotten downpipes - mallets and blowpipes and te like.

This was about 7 or 8 years ago though so I can't speak for modern ones

Top of the list is:

Akrapovic (got can on SV, full system on CBR600)
Yoshi
Arrow
Hindle (got one on my ZX7R)

The rest I've heard of but not had any personal experience of, plus I have a natural aversion to most US and French made stuff. The Hindle pipes I've seen have been the exception to this rule.

I was impressed with my Scorpion and im tempted to go Scorpion again for the Versys.
There's an Ixil can which has been offered to me also, and it looks very well made.

I like my Yoshi, best quality exhuast I have ever bought, sound nice as well which is a bonus.

I have a magazine article I will scan in at work on monday, its test loads of exhaust which covers about 6 of those brands.

My Scorpion was incredibly tough. I dropped my SV and slid it under a car last January, all that was damaged on the Scorpion can was the little band around the front. I managed to carefully beat it back with a hammer and a bit of hard plastic and you'd never have known after a bit of polishing.

When I got the Akrapovic I sold the can on to my ex and she can't tell it's been down the road.

Ixil are French, which means one of those will never be fitted to any bike of mine. I still haven't forgiven the French for burning truckloads of British made goods during a strike.

They all have different results on different bikes, this is my opinion on build quality and average performance;

1. Akrapovich
2. Yoshimura
3. Arrow
4. Two Bros
5. Hindle
6. D&D
7. Devil
8. Jardine

No reason to choose any of those over any other one, they're all as good as each other.
