Best Pipes for the 06 VFR

[Spud]

Like the title says..
I am wanting to know what ppl think.. What is the best pipe for an 06 VFR800 for the money...
Im not having any luck finding any on ebay or anywere else.. I dont want to spend a fortune but want a great pipe.. Even if it is used..

[reg71]

you know there is a long thread about this very subject with sound clips. let me see if I can find it for you....

Exhaust sound clips

I'm not sure if prices werre listed or not, but it's a good starting point for you.

[Spud]

I couldnt get them to work.. I believe it was Vman that helped me out and emailed the clips to me...

And Many thanks for doing that..

P.S. You know how those Noods are.. Never look before posting new threads.. Sorry..

[reg71]

no worries mate. I still list stuff as a new thread that I know we have hashed over sometimes. that way if someone missed it they will see it on the new list and sometimes we get more info out there. plus sometimes, I can't find stuff that I know we discussed.

Burn new-non-searching-newbie-newbie-noob!!!

Oh well, I think that thread title wins the award of Most Common Thread to Appear in New Post List

it's all good tho.


I like my microns, they're just not quite loud enough. I was looking to scare small children, they only make them whip around real quick. streetfighters-usa.com had a goof up on their site and listed new micron titanium systems at $750! Not cheap, but $150 less than retail is a deal.

Have an 04 VFR and still a fan of the Staintunes I put on the bike the sound gets better once you remove the baffles (easy two screws under the exhaust and they slip out) and after a few thousand miles. Nice low growl at idle and nice tone in throttle.

Does anyone have the Remus pipes on there 06 VFR?? I found a set of them for $695 the staitunes are like $800.. So right now Im thinking about the Microns or Remus..

[jackson]

I got my Staintunes for 700 plus tax. The guys at sporttour.com had the best price and still negotiated a bit.

Another vote for Staintunes...I absolutely love the way the V4 sounds with these pipes. Like jackson said, give Sporttour a call...ask for a salesperson named Glen.

[jackson]

thats his name, i could not remember his name but it was Glen. He gave me like a 20% discount on everything I ordered.
Mention you picked up their site off of a motorcycle board and he may work with you.

I was holding out for a set of Laser Extremes for my '06, but they say the ones for the '02-05 won't work on it, so I have to wait for them to release the ones for the '06, or at least for them to decide that there's no damn difference between the two years except VTEC engangement and clear winkers...

If I can't hold out I'm going with the Staintunes. Glen at Sporttour just qouted me $809 with $10 shipping.

I'm looking for sound that snaps peoples heads too, becuase local drivers don't seem to ever think I'm right beside them.

I'm the youngest guy on the block so I didn't want to offend my nieghbors with sound, but the guys next door have Hardleys, so I'm good.

[Spud]

well glen gave me a quote through email on Microns for $689.. and Staintunes for $809 aswell..I also want an exhaust that will turn heads.. and sound great.. but I just hate to give $800 and more for Exhaust.lol...

[lootyman]

afterall, we're just expelling burnt up gases!

He with the best exhaust wins

[NYMBYSS]

laser works for me

[seadooloo]

I have made my second exhaust system now using the stock down pipe. Make your own, the possibilities are endless. Especially if you want loud.
Well, I am having a time here trying to attach these photos and sound files. If you look in my gallery you will see my latest exhaust and my last on which used 2 laser mufflers and also a sound file of the new mufflers.

[NYMBYSS]

lasers are my choice

[hfam95]

Whats wrong with the stock pipes. I personally think they look awesome. I know its about the sound, but why? Lets not turn into Harley folk.

[tbayvfr]

what about the leovince pipes? I haven't heard anyone comment on those yet. I like the way those look best, because they look shorter than the microns. I just wish they made them in CF.

[saber]

I think NYMBYSS likes lasers.

[lootyman]

turn into harleys?!?! come now my friend. have you heard the sweet sweet sounds of the V4 when given room to breathe? have you ridden down the street listening to the pulse of the exhaust roaring behind you? have you scared children two blocks away simply by firing up your ride?

if not, i recommend it to anyone. it is pure bliss.

if yuo're looking for a recommendation, lasers work for NYMBYSS


seadooloo, really like the look of your homebrew system. any write-up on your work?

[Spud]

Well I am torn between the Remus and Micron.. I have heard the sound clips of the microns but not the Remus.. I like to sound of the Microns.. but price is key.. I can get both for right under $700

[lootyman]

depends on what material. for steel, you'll be right close to 700, probably over after tax and shipping.
