    Vance & Hines sound

    Ok so first off I'll say I'm totally new to bike and all things related. My 89 Kat 600 came with a Vance & Hines Exhaust. I've been riding around for a few days now on it and I have to say it gets a bit annoying to me after a while. Really "buzzy" I think. I have 2 Kats and both have the same exhaust on them.

    Anyone out there think the same of this system and have an alternative they like. I think I read that Yoshiumra was pretty close to stock sound.

    Also...if i switch the exhaust will I have to get my carbs re jetted? They are Stage 1. Thanks

    I have a Vance & Hines SS2r on my 93 750 and I like the way it sounds. Not nearly as loud as the D&D but it is loud enough and sounds more tuned in my opinion.

      Yeah it may grow on me. It's been crap weather so I've nto been riding. I don't think it's awful, it's just an adjustment is all. As I've said, I've brand new to bikes and all things related. I'm used to tuning import cars.

      Anyway I loks and can't find Yoshi exhaust for my pre 98.

        I have a Vance & Hines Supersport on my '91 750, and I love the sound. Especially above 5k rpm.

        I work on a military post, and the speed limit keeps me below 35 all day, but it is something to see guys turn their heads from 3 blocks away to see where that turbine-like sound is coming from.
        Used to have all the time in the world to work on bikes - but no resources.
        Now I have the resources, but no time.

            I just ordered the ss2r for my 2000 750. I'm hoping it sounds good on a katana. I had a vance & hines on a 900 ninja I use to have and it was a nice deep tone. I'm hoping for the same results from my suzuki. The yosh sounds good on a kat. Close to stock at an idle. Maybe a little different. But when you get on it, it sound really good. So I guess it's just a preference.

              Yeah the turbine sound is rather nice. I have to say I do rather like the sound of this exhaust now. I may still try to find a Yoshi for it though.

                Idk. I bought a Vance & Hines SS2r for my 06 750 kat, and i really liked the sound. It was the cheapest pipe i found and i think it sounds great.
