I’m toying with the idea of throwing a pipe onto my 1000RR and I’d like to hear your opinions and experiences. Here’s a few discussion points: - **Slip-on vs. Full.** Is the extra price justified for a full system? I’m guessing not for my needs. The couple extra HP would be moot on the street. My main riding is not on the track; I enjoy twisties and spirited crusing and rarely ever wring the bike’s neck - I doubt it has ever seen redline in any gear. - **Power Commander.** Will I needa PC3 for a slip-on? How about a full system? At this point would it be best to drop in a better-flowing air filter as well? - **Noise Level.** I love the throaty gargle of a liter bike with an aftermarket exhaust, however I don’t want it to be TOO obnoxious or whiney. This may be unavoidable; but maybe just getting a slip-on will provide a more moderate dB increase, or maybe it varies brand to brand. - **Noise Quality.** Simple. Which brands/styles sound the best? - **Product quality.** Which brands do you guys have experience with/recommend? Best bang for the buck? Thanks for any insight guys. I might get a better (quantity) response on a sport bike forum, but I know there’s a bunch of knowledgable/experienced riders here as well. ---

I would only do a slip on. Do you need a power commander for the slip on? no. Do you put and exhaust on and leave the intake stock on your car? I would put a filter and slip on first. You will notice more throttle response than anything . Personally, I like the sound of akrapovic. The only way to tell what you like to is to listen to some. ---

I had a Gsxr600 with a two brothers slip on…luckily 07’s still had the removable cat. so that made it much better. It was a deep rumble but very loud. people would definitely know you were coming, and hear just about every crack on the throttle that was done. I would definitely suggest getting the pc3. that will even out all the fuel and what not according to the pipe. have fun and be safe on the 1k! ---

My friend has a Yoshi slip-on on his cbr1000rr, it sounds good, super loud, but personally it hangs too far off the back for my liking. another person I know has the Akra on his 600rr and it looks much better, for a slip on though it doesn’t sound insanely loud, but does sound good. ---

I’m going to guess that the next few years are going to get tougher on loud sport bikes. Make sure you are up for the hassles ---

slip on and a filter, i have a bmc race filter and a leo vince slip on my 600rr, i like it. i would go akrapovic if i had to do it again. id say power commander only if getting a full system and getting it tuned on a dyno. ---

> [@BDR5oh](#): > > what year ?? 1. From what I’m reading, it doesn’t seem that these play nicely with filter/slip-on without a PC3… hmm. ---

Every bike is going to be different. All I can say is ride it and read your plugs. I did this with my SMR when it was stock and it made a hell off a difference. Playing with the carb and making sure that the plug was burning that perfect paper bag brown. ---

Do they offer a PCV for the bike? Really a far better option then getting a pc3 with mail order tune. ---

Could be the case but it may still work. I picked up a pcv for my wheeler which is an 08 even though they list it for 09+ and it still works for it though.
