Mmmmmm

YouTube Video
Error: If you cannot see this video, then either YouTube is down or you don't have Flash installed to play it.


Can I find a vid with the baffle fitted, can I heck....that would be a bit too loud, I think it would resonate around the close I live in rather too well, could I get away with no throttle and feathering the clutch to get away first.....it does sound yummy

What does an exhaust like this do you your ears on a long trip? obviously ear plugs or gromit headphones fitted...

not saying they are bad now, but I struggle to see any justifiable difference between any slip on can TBH.

I hear about build quality and think if that was a factor then you'd have a full system on anyway

But would it benefit or justify the cost?
I do agree, unless you lined all slip ons next to each other, youd struggle to identify the difference.

Yes, look at welding on a leo system, it is art
Plus power, sound, weight saving.

I was talking generally and about scorpions, a Leo is a lot more money, I'd have one if i had that budget and of course they done one for my sprint.

What's a scorpion? £200+ something like that, and it is same as a £100 fuel or CCC or whatever. If you can justify yourself twice the price for "quality" then you should be able to easily justify 4x the price to get Quality.

So, what in your opinions would be the best quality (without being a branded rip off unnecessarily) full system for the SV? Looking briefly on the sites neither Leo Vince or Akrapovic do a full system for the SV? Maybe they used to but not now? Should I be looking elsewhere?

Leo Vince install on SV (slip-on only):


Akrapovic table (SV is slip-on only):


The only one I've seen is the Mivv one which includes a Lambda sensor capacity too...

Leo do sell one I'm fairly sure, just their site is a pain to use.
