Default Are all bike exhausts expensive?

iv only had my license 5 weeks and i got my sv650 about 4 weeks ago now, just been looking at some smaller noisier exhausts on ebay as the standard one is huge and i never new they were so expensive just for a back box, i work on cars so im used to seeing 40-50 pound mahussive backboxes on little 1.2s lol, i realise you have to spend good money to get good quality but are all exhaust systems over 180 squid?

Full systems yeah. I paid £200 for the M4 system second hand, though before that I got a micron one silly cheap.

You can get a can alone for £100 or less though.

£100 would set you up with a half decent can and link pipe.

Twin exhausts are a cosmetic thing only, just heavier and more to damage than single.
