I like Taylormade because they supply you a panel that fills in the empty space from removing the stock can. All the major companies sound nice on 'em. I'd go by looks and price. Racefit Growler's are fucking sick, too.

I had a buddy who had a Taylor-Made on a 750, it looked pretty sick, was easy to install, and sounded pretty damn good.

However, my opinion is spend the money on something other than an exhaust. Steel braided brake lines, some woodcraft rearsets, some suspension work, or maybe a trackday.

Thanks for your input. You raised several very good points.

To be honest, this is one of those rare cases where I would be most interested in the look of the bike with the other benefits just being a big bonues.

I already love the look of my stock can but it is scratched up from when the first owner put it down. I might wait to pick up the exhaust and maybe go for that as a Xmas gift to myself. I recall the bike being pretty loud to begin with.

I checked out the Racefit Growler and while I sort of like the look the price puts it out of my range for another year or so.

There is something about the M4 that I don't like, maybe the look of it. I suppose it would help to see these in person but I will just cool my jets and wait on it.

You'll be a lot happier spending the money on something else. Especially if it's a trackday!

Stock exhausts never did it for me. Most don't sound or look great. And they are quiet. Are there better things to spend money on? Absolutely...like all of the aforementioned items.

But if an exhaust system is gonna make you happy then go for it.
