Why Muzzy??
I purchased my first Kaw this year after being a Honda owner for years. My 14 came with a Muzzy exhaust and I've noticed that just about every other 14 I've come across have either Muzzy or Brocks. Why is that??

Well because Brocks is suppose to be the best and has good map support and Muzzy's is just a good price for guys that don't care about max power. But there's plenty of other good choices out there

My club members predominantly ride zuks and they run M4s and yoshis, my other bike(Honda) sounds mean with a Two Brothers exhaust. I may need to look into Brocks if it'll get me better performance.

Use Brocks if a second best won't do

Amazing to see how times have changed. There were decades where it was muzzy or nothing. Both rob and Brock are great guys

Unless you spend more time at the drag strip then on the street, then just get the pipe that you thing looks and sounds the best and is in your budget. On the street you won't notice 3-5hp @ 10k RPMs, but you will notice spending a couple hundred more dollars.
That being said, if money was no object then black CT duals are my #1 choice on a 14. They look great, sound great, and perform great.

Damm,,,,,,, I've been misinformed for years. I thought it was because Muzzy rhymes with Fuzzy.
Btw,,,,, I've got a Brock's pipe on my Kawi.

Right on, the last time I purchased a Muzzy was in '98 on a ZX9R
Hey i just bought another retro ZX9, and the owner before my had a Muzzy on it. May have to do something about that, its the only thing wrong with the retro ancient bike I can find =)

Beautiful thing about America is it's whatever floats your boat, Muzzy...Yoshimura ....Brocks It's all about whatever you like and whatever you want to spend your money on. Pretty much all available systems have been covered/tested on this forum. Search around and u will see.

I'm a Muzzy's lover, have been for 14 yrs. Their fit & finish is second to none, with an industry leading power curve.

Maybe if you paid for those wheels , you might have got some round ones! 
Bike looks good Cliff. No need to fuck with the pictures. You ain't foolin' anyone.

I have had both pipes and Brock's is a better made pipe. Fit, finish, and detail wise you can't go wrong with Brock's.... I used to only run Muzzy exclusively, but after trying Brock's I am sold. Great map support also, even though I run a couple of custom maps.

1 horsepower doesn't matter to some of us, (even though for as many dyno's you all pull out yer arse to show Muzzy up a few HP I can do the same with Brocks dyno pulls). Customer service/customer care/quality, and not being facked around during orders is what caused me to go to Brock.
Matter of fact when the 2006 ZX14 came out I got jerked around and until then had never even heard of Brock. Cancledd that order finally, per this forum ordered a Brock, SOLD ever since. Dig up my documented ordeal with Muzzy on this forum if you don;'t believe me, search around 2006
From somebody who's used both over the years since '98..... never mind
