What kind of exhaust should I go for?
OK I'm looking for a new exhaust for my stock K6, I always liked the coloured titanium but have been put off by a few chavtastic comments, I quite like the carbon fibre ones too, stainless would be fine but not much of a change from stock is my only thought.
Also, side question, High level exhausts, what would I need to have it high level with the pillion pegs still on, different link pipe and mounting method or is it more complex than that? |

Re: What kind of exhaust should I go for?
Coloured titanium can look really wrong on some bikes, but the blued ones really do suit blue SVs. Assuming that's your bike in your avatar, I'd go for blue titanium.

Take it off at the manifold and run it like that.

Re: What kind of exhaust should I go for?
Personally I'd opt for Stainless Steel or Plain Titanium, but this is a personal taste! A coloured titanium can looks very chav!!!
Ask around, some let you retain the rear pegs and some don't. The ones that do will come with spacers to move your pegs further out, can look a bit silly though! |

Re: What kind of exhaust should I go for?
My dads got a Scorpion Coloured Titanium exhaust and it goes really well with the blue. Build quality is great too and its one of the best sounding cans for the SV, it has a nice deep rumble. My dads bike now got lots of graphics on so this is the best picture i could find without!

Re: What kind of exhaust should I go for?
I vote carbon fibre, but that's partly because my sv is black and I think it'd look good hehe. The blue above does look hot stuff though!

Re: What kind of exhaust should I go for?
Voted Ti.
Subtle but strong. Good C/F is luverly tho'. Hi-level is cool looking but impractical. (Can't get my foot in the proper position with my Remus/ burns a hole in your boots if you try.) |
