Exhausts and Engine » Exhaust question

Members - if I was looking to replace the big heavy standard RS 1200 exhaust with a much lighter after market item BUT I didn't want more performance or more noise, which is the one you'd consider ?

And I have a dominator, just put that in the internet followed by .pl as in dominator(stop)pl. Cannot put links in this forum for some reason. I bought the chrome oval and saved 5 kilos in weight and it cost me less than £200. The quality is great and it fits perfectly.

I have a Leo Vince. It looks good but is louder. So be warned. I put Acro on my SX1000 and was surprised how quiet it was.... Until you gave it the beans😉😎

Performance exhausts rarely, if ever , deliver more performance .
Its primarily about looks and weight.
I have a Remus hexcone. Slimmer and more aesthetically pleasing than the OE. Not too noisy - nicer tone
If you want to have something that resembles a torpedo launcher on a nuclear sub and costs almost as much go for an Akrapovic

Have you seen a torpedo tube on a nuclear sub?

Ex submariner here :)

I have a Hexacone too, Ti one. I keep the baffle in. Just a nice subtle burble. The Chrome OEM monstrosity should never have been born.

That's nothing .. when I was a boy I used to be a torpedo

Akra very expensive, barely any lighter.. sounded the same

Do these aftermarket cans have steel internals (only) or do they also have the fibre stuff that will eventually need to be repacked?

Remus Hexacone it is then. Thanks.

@himoverthere, I came across the Dominator and the price tag is definitely appealing. Which model/version of the Dominator do you have? Material? Could you please comment on build quality and, in particular, sound/loudness?

I’d welcome the better sound and lighter weight, but am trying to avoid something that drones on and is defining on all day rides. I put GPR’s on my K1600GT, which I found a good balance of loud when I wanted it (on the throttle) and just barely noticeable the rest the time.

Similarly, for those with Remus, comments on the loudness/all day aspects? Thanks all!

I have the stainless oval version of the Dominator. At that price I thought that it was worth a punt even if it was crap. It is not crap. I have fitted loads of aftermarket cans to all of the bikes in my household and can say that this is as good as any other. It is much lighter than the standard dustbin but at first I thought that it was no louder. The only time that is sounds any louder than the standard zorst is on hard acceleration. In my opinion it is well made and good looking.
