I keep listening to the sound of that V4 exhaust racing by and I have to admit that for what seems a stock bike they do sound awfully good. Can you imagine how this beast will sound with some custom of aftermarket pipes?

They just needed to mix in a little sound of a siren in the background.

If that's a stock bike sound...yikes. The Busa guys are gonna be ticked.

I do like the sound of that exhaust.

I've got the shop ready...

Plasma Cutter and TIG welder are fired up!

For stock pipes they sound very good. You have to compare stock to stock of other bikes. Actually fairly deep note at idle. I am sure they are borderline and Yamaha had to - yet again - use the EXUP to quite the bike down at half rpm - where the feds measure noise.
One reporter on site (USS midway) said something like: These pipes are street legal?!

Again, they are stock pipes. Don't expect a loud bark.
You won't have to toss them right away - unless you want to for various reasons.
I am also sure that with a few simple mods you can make them sound really good.

THANKS, GLENN
