I've got a '04 SE 1250cc SEII cams, ported heads, 58mm throttles and stacks, etc.
The bike came with V&H Comp 2-1 and I'm ready to switch. Too loud, bad tone, turns brown 5 minutes after polishing them, and rear pipe placement burns my left boot heal.
I actually wouldn't mind going back to stock, but for the weight. I don't mind if I lose a few HP up top.
Is the weight of the stock exhaust in the pipes or the mufflers?
Any other recommendations? I've read every exhaust thread and everyone seems to be looking for loud and max peak power. I just want something chrome that doesn't discolor, is reasonably quite with no weird resonances, and doesn't weigh a ton.
thoughts?
