Why do most exhausts stick out so much??

[b3nje909]

Dont look the best..
The two bros look great, dont look so "noticable", but every other brand appears to wanna stick out an extra 2 inches..

that said.

if anyone has a pair of Scorpion Titanium with end caps.
can you do a profile bike shot please?

I need to see before I whip out the credit card

I don't have the titaniums, but here is shot of the stainless steel...

hmmmmm

I wish they finished flush with the tail light..........

Found another pic of my scorps.

They might stick out a bit, but the sound more than makes up for it

Those scorps do hang out quite a bit compared to the TB's, the difference being that the TB's end caps start flush with the tail light...

:thumbup:

My take on the subject is that the pipes are the right length................it's the bike that is too short

 

[Bikebiz]

If they didn't stick out so far, they'd be louder. So much so that this is why Staintune never went ahead with theirs, as they just couldn't get them quiet enough to meet adr. given the space.

A good example of this is the R6. In 2010 they made the muffler slightly longer than 09. Unsure the length, maybe 2". The difference in sound is significant (the 09 sounds great!). I'm not sure why they did this though, I don't think there were any changes to max db....

in my opinion the exhaust ends that project out some from the seat look the best. I dont like the two bros end caps. Plastic end caps? Cmon!.
You wont notice your pipes hangin if you buy something other than two bros.

Plastic end caps on the two brothers! I don't think so! Try magnesium!

Agreed. That's one of the reason that I and some others prefer the Laser Quad exhaust. Not only does it not stick out, but the inner pipes are longer than the outer pipes, leading to a nice symmetrical look.

Going to have to price the Scorpions for myself, they look good.

So far id only been looking at Arrow or Akra. Now that the bike is past warranty its time to make it heard :rockon:

Maybe they're just happy to see you?

I have heard of this happening, as well, as Insurance company's refusing to pay out on a modified bike....

That's why you tell the insurance company, when you mod your bike, so your covered!

Stupid, i know, but hey, lots of stuff dont make bugger all sense in this world!

I let my insurance company know (Swann). I have even got them added to my policy so, if something happened, I get my pipes replaced! :Flash:

I too agree with this. I don't like the look of the ones sticking out really far. In fact, to me the stock ones look better then most because of this.

Its not a dealer thing, but a manufacturer thing. Then if you get a dealer extended warranty (like me), it then also becomes a dealer thing.

They stick out but I thinks it's alright. Totally a personal preference though.

+ 1 on that.

They don't stick out far enough to be ugly - and the fact that the ends are on an angle makes it all look ok.

Scorps look the best, IMO. :rockon:
