Which Exhaust Is worth the best??>> 954 RR<<

Robert3RR · 08-07-2005, 7:29 PM

Tossed my stock exhaust out (too quiet and too fat)..Anyways, I recently own an Two Brothers Racing exhaust bolt on...but am trying to see which one really does its job...My 2 brothers Racing bolt on don't sound bad but makes me look illegal, driving in neighborhood my elderly neighbors look at me like I'm a bad boy..hihi

thanks

I want to know what you guys have and if you really enjoy the system you got...

looking for the best (sound, true power feel)

Yoshimura:
Micron :
Arrow:
Akrapovic:

here you will find a lot of Arata and Hindle supporters. Try a search for "exhaust" and be prepared to rread for a while. Enjoy your pick

sporky · 08-09-2005, 4:28 PM

akrapovic: best finishing/quality, highly priced though, marginal gains in the mid range, gone after lowsiding

among the three mentioned, after a good seach in dyno charts and some "Sook" advices/dynoed models, micron is the only one which has 3hp gains from 9k and on, yoshi and arrow actually going down a bit!

facts (hps - torque)
bonestock: 131,2 - 69,3
micron: 134,8 - 69,1
yoshimura: 130,5 - 67,6
arrow: 130,6 - 68

placed a prepayment for micron race slip-on this morning (oval titanium Beta system), wait to see results
cheers sporky

well that is good cause I have been ready for a while to get rid of that 2 brothers racing exhaust and replace it w/ the Micron....

****Now The Facts that you've listed above is that only exhaust bolt or the full exhaust system ....thanks

CBR929RE · 08-09-2005, 5:36 PM

those are just bolt ons I believe. Arata doesn't make a bolt on for the 929/954. When people talk about the Arata and Hindles making the most power they are talking full systems. I believe the Micron serpent system is also very close.

oh okay, thanks..
I wish I could know what or where I could findout how the Micron sounds like on the 954RR...

ER · 08-09-2005, 5:58 PM

It's a little deeper and throatier than your Two-Brothers slip-on, and it's just as loud. Those two cans are the best-sounding slip-ons IMHO but neither would be considered quiet.

nedro · 08-09-2005, 6:09 PM

Micron is one of the loudest. For a few buck more you can get a full Hindle system. Why bother with bling add-ons?

fastjester · 08-10-2005, 12:40 AM

I have a micron full system. I got 10hp with a PC3 from the same dyno two days apart almost the same time of the day. I like the sound. It doesn't seem all that loud to me.

Bacchus · 08-10-2005, 12:49 AM

Hindle is best bang for the buck (from what I've read here on the .org). Too bad they had a recent substantial price increase.

You still might want to do a little research on Hindle.

edit: change Hindle "is" to Hindle "was"...

I had nothing but problems with my Micron system that I paid $1100 for on the Ducati. The end caps on each muffler were not secure and came shooting off while driving down the road, they also had a funny wear on them because of the brackets Micron gave me to mount them. When I called they told me too bad, you bought them were not going to help you out. I switched to Arrow and the quality is not even comparable, IMO.

You bought the whole system and they said they wont help you out? What a bunch of ignorant f#%$^rs!!!!

Carbon kevlar 1/2 system, ducati has dual exhausts so they are a little more. I had a huge arguement with one of their reps at the Detroit mc show and I even emailed them pics of the cans and the issue, no help at all. Worst service for a motorcycle part I've ever had.

dbleck · 08-14-2005, 3:28 PM

Interesting reading the best exhaust for fireblades....however; I didn't notice any mentioned of the D & D pipes....any feedback???

Not to be harsh, but I don't think you'll find anyone on this site who will recommend them. IMHO they're loud pieces of crap. There are much better options.

I think the word in bold explains it all...

DUX · 08-15-2005, 1:06 AM

My Carbon-Fiber Akrapovic (which is for sale) gave the 954 a louder and deeper note without being obnoxious. You could get through your neighborhood without raising eyebrows, and then it made a great sound when you opened it up on the back roads. I even really liked it on decel.

I'm not sure about the power gains, but the sound helped make the bike "feel" faster than stock.

xxshawnxx · 08-15-2005, 2:12 AM

what about erion pipe? i know theyre loud but hp wise what does the bike gain (929)

Actually I have to agree with you. They are loud and obnoxious, had one on a ATV that the mid-pipe exploded and sent pieces flying.

The Sook · 08-15-2005, 2:50 AM

Bolt ons, Micron is the way to go (on the 954) ALTHOUGH Sato are now doing bolt ons for the 954 too, and i'd EXPECT them to give at least the same gains as the Micron and they'll be better quality.

Micron aren't a real good choice for Twins due to their "assembly" choice. The heavy pulsing etc, just blows them apart. We used a Micron full system on our Race SP1, and it gave us the best gains from what we had available at the time, but they don't look real flash now. lol So you're fairly limited with the Ducs as to what you can get, but hey, sucked in, you have more money than sense anyway. LOL KIDDING............sorta.

"I have a micron full system. I got 10hp with a PC3" that's the RACE system, notthe Serpent right? Coz I get 15+h.p from those systems no probs (serpent) . The Arata I've seen 19h.p on the 954 with mapping and they are light , look trick etc, everyone knows already. Hindle give good gains too, dunno how much they've risen in price though, so you may wanna check that out before deciding. If it were me? I'd go Arata, Sato, Micron in that order, but let us know what you decide on and what you think etc. Have fun.

demon954rr · 02-03-2006, 3:14 PM

My micron system sounds awesome. I went from a yoshi bolt on to the micron serpent system and I am very pleased with power, as well as, sound. Email me with any questions at bigdude31513@yahoo.com

Do you know the hps-torque numbers on M4, Hindle, or Muzzy? Any input at all? thanks
