ok. A few words on the loudness of the Leos.
I live on a twisty road so I like to ride quickly on my home stretch. The good road starts exactly one mile from my house. My wife has told me she can hear me turn onto said road.
Ok, so that example is heresay, since he said she said.... but here is the only first hand example I can give.
I let my brother ride my FZ6 about 3 weeks ago around my home town. It is a small rural town of around 5k people with mostly side streets where you can only ride 30mph. From my parents driveway, I could hear and pinpoint my brother's (and my bike's) location without any strain. He was gone on the bike for probably 5-10 minutes and admittedly never went over 6k rpm. (I believe him because I could hear him the whole time!) The Leos are great in my opinion and my bike has sold several exhaust systems for Leo Vince.
Sound should be the same regardless of which can composition: carbon, titanium or aluminum.
