Full Exhaust
I'm on the fence of grabbing a full Leo Vince, Brocks, or Tsukigi. This is my daily mule, touring, and occasional track bike when I want to rest the 636. Any luck with any of these systems?

GO BROCKS! you won't regret it. If all of the systems were equal (which they're not in my opinion) Brocks would be the one to get for customer service alone. If you don't believe me, shoot an e-mail with any questions to advice@brocksperformance.com and let us know who e-mails you back and if your questions were answered.

I actually like Brocks. I hit them up before for some questions and they were above board. I already have a full Leo on my track bike and love the finish, power, and durability.

You cant go wrong with either Brocks smeg or alien head. The alien head will give you a slight clearance advatage over smeg in the twisties, but the smeg has a removable baffle which my be of more interest during your track days.

No clearance issues with a short meg if the a short meg hits the pavement you are already grinding the foot pegs and the plastics!

Go to Ivans Performance and click on Kawasaki info, there are dyno charts of some of the systems you are looking at for the ZX-14 the Tsukigi had a dip in power and torque from 3 to 5K pass on it..The Yosh and Akaprovic both made HP and torque gain with out loss down low. Call Ivan he has tested most of all the systems and has maps for them. If you are going Drag racing Brocks is hard to Beat, Street use the Yoush TRC 421 full system SS is good priced system that has a good power curve for a daily driver for the money good buy.. The Akaprovic made about 2 more HP everywhere but costs more. My 07 I got used has a Muzzy slip on's so I too am looking for a full system. I wish Brocks was not so Loud, early morning going to work will have my neighbors calling the cops.

If you're worried about it being loud, go with either the GEN 3 or the GEN 3 Shorty. They're still quiet until you really get on them. In all reality even the alien head is quiet enough for every day use unless you start wrapping it up. Chances are if you're riding it hard enough that it's really loud you probably shouldn't on the street anyway lol  .

Harleys are louder than ANY Brock pipe and they start up every morning before work.

Brocks by far. You get so many maps when you purchase the system, cuts out the guess work. Can't go wrong!

Best point so far!!!! Yes he does take out all the guess work. You dont need to pay extra dollars to get your bike running properly and you know that you are getting every last bit of power out of it. Brocks FTMFW

For a street commuter bike system,buy what you can afford and looks/sounds the way you want.

Bullshit. I ride my bike to work every day rain or shine and you won't see me wasting my money. There are lots of people who race their daily drivers. Think of it this way... if you were dropping the money on your daily driver that you take to the track, would you want to waste your hard earned money?
Don't give bad advice. Buy what you can afford yes... but do your research and if power is what you're looking for then don't waste your time. All you'l get out of not doing it right the first time is the oppurtunity to do it over again. That's the reason that it's taken me so long to get an exhaust. I could have bought a yosh full system, or some slip ons... but they're a waste of money so I've waited until I could afford a real exhaust.
In the meantime I've pretty much learned to squeeze most of the power out of my bike stock and have beaten a lot of piped bikes set up the same as mine.
