Re: [ST] New Exhaust Opinions



I have the stock can on my ST, but I've ridden behind several with the
performance can and I have ridden two ST's with the performance can.

It may perform better than stock, but not enough to make me sit up and
notice. In a blind test, I'm not sure I could really tell the difference in
normal riding.

Soundwise, when you're standing next to it idling it sounds much better
than stock, when your riding behind one it sounds pretty nice too. But when
I was riding a bike equipped with the perf. can (with earplugs) I couldn't
tell the difference.

So I felt like I would be spending $400 so that others people could enjoy
the sound and that's about it. Like I said, I have the stock can on my ST.

Of course, YMMV and I'm sure there are going others who will give you a
different opinion. I would really recommend trying to find an ST with it
that you can ride to find out for yourself.
