[giggles88]

go with the HINDLE can't beat the sound or quality gives your bike a deep growl check out youtube for katana there are a few sound bites there

I'm running a hybrid Yoshi front header / collector thru a Muzzy cannister. It started out being a little loud for my taste, I've gotten used to it now though. Maybe it wasn't that loud.

If I had $400+ to throw at this, I really like the way that Vance & Hines SS2-R looks and sounds on the 1100. Very tolerable noise level below 6000 rpm's then gets a little bark to it in the upper range. Sweeeet

I remember a few years ago reading that Skorpian was making an exhaust for the Kat that would be the best of all. By best, I say this because it was a 4-2-1 design, which would give a bit more tq along with more hp. I think it was around $700, bit pricey.

I have a Hindle system (4/2/1 titanium/SS) with the SuperSport baffle..sounds great! (was pricey though, near $1000 for the entire system, but you dont have to get titanium and SS).

I like my Scorpion.

Love my ss2r with the comp baffle, little louder at low R's then wakes up and howls at high rev's

is an after market exhaust a bolt on thing or is there welding involved?

No welding, their a bolt on,and some tweaking,cursing and the like, unless your gonna make it your self.

Cant really tell whats better than others, but I've got a Yosh RS3 on my 99 600, really like it. nice low tone, and not real loud until ya really crank her up.

I forgot,

D&D also made a pipe for the 1100f, never seen one though

[seethesvt]

where is a good place to order online? id want to get a full system, from the headers to the cans. ive noticed a couple of selections are onlt one can too. i like the look of the two pipes in the back. im thinking that the one pipe will probably add performance, am i right? if so ill do one but id rather do two.

[DClark]

No one makes an aftermarket two pipe exit exhaust. It would cost more (two mufflers instead of one) and weigh more, with no performance advantage.
Look, when i replaced my stock system with a 4-1, I cut 35lbs of weight off the bike, that's like 8% lighter. The bike is not just faster because of a more free flowing exhaust; it is faster because it has less weight to pull.

ok, ive decided on the vance & hines SS2-R 4-1 set up. sounds good to me. what else can i do performance wise? i dont have alot of money, the exhaust is gonna put me back a bit so i need cheap mods to consider.
