That Guy
Well I'm in the market for a new exhaust for my FZ and price, sound and looks are all big factors in my decision. I've not heard any other exhaust on an FZ except for stock because I'm the only one here in town. So here's what it comes down to. I'm looking at the Remus CF or Titanium set w/o DB killers from pipecity.com for $499.00
2008 | FZ6 | Yamaha | Street | Remus | Custom Motorcycle Exhaust Systems - Buy Yoshimura Cobra DD Akrapovic Bub Aftermarket Exhaust Pipe Sy | Product Search | Pipe City
I'm also looking at Scorpions CF set and the cheapest I've found so far is $580 at hyperformanceparts.com
Scorpion SCORPION OVAL RACE CARBON FIBER SLIP-ON EXHAUST from Hyperformance Parts
I originally wanted a set with the rounded tail piece, the kind w/o the protrusions at the end. I want that nice deep growl but I also don't want to be obnoxiously loud and draw too much attention, mostly from the po-pos. I like the Remus because they are unique but they don't come with DB killers and from the research I've done on here they make ones that can and can't accept them and I want to retain the option of adding them IF they wind up being too loud for my taste. Plus $500 is a killer deal so that kinda reinforces those as well. The Scorpions are offered in Round and Oval so I'm not sure which of those would come with 'new' style end caps. Plus I didn't read anything on there about DB inserts either. So between these two which would be the ideal choice?
It basically comes down to this-
Remus
Pros
-$500
-very unique, not many people have them
-from what I've heard they have that nice deep growl
-available in CF or Titanium (I've read that the CF can yellow over time but I want that all black, stealth look)
Cons
-Weld quality (read that on here)
-Don't come with Db inserts
-Might be too loud
-Have the 'older' style end caps but I could settle on that for the price
-CF yellowing (which starts pushing me towards Ti)
Scorpions
Pros
-Decent price-$580
-have heard no qualms about CF fading/yellowing (yet)
-I assume there are optional Db inserts that come with it.
-looks good
Cons
-Not sure whether I would be getting 'new' style or 'old' style caps.
-Still costs more than the Remus
-Seems like lots of people have them
