For me it was more the sound...to be heard before it was to late, lol. I can't say the look is anything special, the price was right at the time. As for the power, it feels like there is a slight difference but nothing spectacular. My bike had 6 miles on it when I bought it and roughly 200 on it when I put on the slip-on and now has 4300 miles and I think it has gotten considerably louder and probably time to get something different.

Get your butt out there and get that installed. Take off stock canons, go in and warm up. Put new canon on and in an hour you can be done.
I would but the bike is "stuffed" in a cubby(maybe 5x10) in the garage so I'd have to move way too much stuff.
Lazy, sure, but until spring I'm working on other house things that need to get done. That way the misses doesn't mind me disappearing on the bike for hours...
Lots of mod work for spring so trying to group projects together in logical groups to avoid ripping things apart multiple times. Plus I'd rather take my time and miss a full day riding verses trying to cram 20 projects into multiple ride days. Rushing has always lead me into mistakes, damage and in the end wasted time/money. Trying to get smarter as I get older :D

Imo the stock exhaust looks the best, so I took a 3 inch hole saw and remover the back inside. It sounds amazing and I still have the catalytic convert in and untouched.
