No maybe about it. Link pipe is too long, can is too bulky and long.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 1:37 pm Maybe a Micron can doesn't look right

It's also very loud, sounds really nice though, real rasp to it.

Re: GSX-S 750
There's a good chance that the standard quiet can will go on and stay on once the clamp for it arrives.
The Micron I had anyway, I was just waiting for a 2" to 2.25" adapter to arrive before trying it.

Re: GSX-S 750
They're ugly, loud and I don't think they work very well, it feels a little flat high up in the rev range, but this could be because the engine feels so much like a GSXR 750 engine and it doesn't have the same top end rush of power.

Re: GSX-S 750
That looks gash with the Micron.
I think the IXIL looks OK but if you're not happy with it then maybe go standard as you say, although imo the standard doesn't look good either.

Re: GSX-S 750
Just looked through the whole thread... the IXIL looks MILES better than any of the others !

Re: GSX-S 750
I'm tempted to turn the silver tips on the IXIL over, I think this would look better.
It's also fairly loud, which is a bit of a pain, but nowhere near as loud as the Micron was.
I think I'm only fannying about with it because I'm a bit bored, I should really fiddle with the bikes that need fiddling with.

Re: GSX-S 750
I had underseat IXIL pipes on my Z750 and they made my ears bleed. They were soooo loud. At the time I liked it, but not so sure I would now. I did try and put the baffles back in but that just changed the tone rather than the volume and they rattled so out they came.

Re: GSX-S 750
I think that if I want it quiet the only choice is the standard silencer, the Ixil is quietest of what else I've got (Micron or fake SC Project can)

Re: GSX-S 750
Those noisy pipes might help move the 'road pigeons' on. Then again, most are deaf I reckon.
