2005 ZX-10R Slip-on Exhaust Comparison
I have the stock exhaust on this bike and I'd like to improve the sound. Can't say I "need" more performance, but I won't complain about it. Seems like the Akrapovic gets a good review, but not sure I wanna spend all that jack. I'm spread around lots of hobbies and race offroad, so I'm not looking for excuses to "pimp this ride", so to speak.
How would you guys compare the following slip-ons?
AKRAPOVIC
FMF
MUZZY
TERMIGNONI
YOSHIMURA
TWO BROTHERS
and any others you know of.
THANKS!

Sound is subjective so really hard to rate as everyone likes sumthin different.
Check the Sport Rider site and I believe they have bout 50 sound clips of pipes or slip-ons tested on an R6 as a decent reference.
I"m partial to my Area P 15" Extreme core slip-on myself - been on for 8k miles now and still looks/sounds good as it did the first day I put it on.

Thanks for the help.
My friend has a Termignoni that I do like. It's not obnonxious, and it has a nice throaty sound when going through the revs. Idles almost like stock where volume is concerned. I don't want anything obnonxious or close to it. A friend has a D&D on a YZF600R, and it's completely annoying to me. Who knows, maybe it needs repacking, but I've heard D&D's are louder than most.
I'm just looking for some real world experience from others with different pipes.

I would add an Area P to that list... in fact add the Area P and remove the rest

If you're going for the slip-on then IMHO there is no other pipe that directly compares with the Area "P". I've had mine going on year and a half and I still get nods of approval and questions about where somebody can get one. Do it bro you won't be dissapointed.

Just put a new style carbon Akrapovic slip-on on my '04. Sounds good. Not too loud. Looks good to me. Performance? I'll never get to the point of knowing that.
