2005 VFR Exhuast questions

I'm new to this forum so sorry if this is a repeat question. I'm purchasing a 2005 VFR this weekend which is stock. I've owned two vfr's in the past so I'm familiar with the bike to say the least. I've been lucky that in the past, the bikes came to be with aftermarket exhaust. One with a remus and the other a 2 brothers.

What are people in favor of and why for the 2005 model? I do have the luggage so I also wonder if fitting the new cans can be an issue with factory honda luggage?

I see that two brothers routes back into only one can. Curious of the benefits, etc.. Also, seems to be a near $2,000.00 investment when it's all said and done, is this correct?

Thanks for your answers.

 

Check out the Hindle Pipes.... pics in my gallery (mine is '02 but they fit for all of the 6th gens). They rock!

 

I have the same problem. An 06 with stock pipes.:frown:
I'm leaning towards Leo's or Remus, but they have got to be loud!
You couldn't pay me to run a fake pipe on my bike. 2 Bros is out!

VFR Girl, how do you know Hindle pipes fit 6th gen?
Their web site doesn't list them.

 

just gut the stock pipes. if you have someone that can weld then its pretty much free

 

I have the BOS GP-1's and love them. www.bosexhausts.com Pics are in my gallery. It has very similar shape as the stockers so mounting luggage shouldn't be a problem.

I've read the threads on this but I wonder about passing emissions later down the road.
Any thoughts?

 

Yes, they look great, but what about the SOUND??

 

It is a good bit louder but not obnoxiously so. If you are looking for something track worthily loud you wont be satisfied.

 

The Hindles fit great, look great, sound great... here are some pics... I think this is in my gallery but here is a pic anyway. :smile:

I think it's in my gallery as well!! If not I can email it to you, I was having problems uploading it. Let me know if you can't find it there....

 

emissions have nothing to do with the stock mufflers. the cat takes care of all the crap in the exhaust. the mufflers just quiet the exhaust a bit.

 

you should be able to fit factory hard bags with most aftermarket exhaust. at least i know for sure staintunes fit check my gallery for pic leos fit for surs as well

vrf girl those hindels look good:smile:

 

Gutted mine. SHORTENED them 2". Ported the exits to 1.5" each. Here's a side by side, http://media.putfile.com/Lasers-Remus-Cyko-trash And regular gut, http://media.putfile.com/kens-gutted

 

Try the free way first

Based on the audio clips, I would try going with the gutted factory pipes first. I'm not an obnoxious loud pipe guy, but the gutted ones sounded nice. If you don't like it you can always purchase the others.

 

Installed Scorpion pipes on my 05 VFR and am very satisfied. Perfect fit, great sound and look good. In fact they are identical to Hindle. Paid $600
