Hey big dogs. So what's the stock can sound like anyways? Pretty decent or what? Thanks

too quiet, until about 8K, then it sounds OK...

Stock-Piped R1's sound like my Grandma's sewing machine! IT SUCKS!! It is indeed the weakest sounding of the "Big4's" litre-bikes. (in stock trim)
Pipe it and she sounds BEAUTIFUL!

it does start sounding better but get this, I don't know if this has happened to anyone else but there is a small hole on the bottom of the pipe and some fiberglass filler has been hanging out the hole several times on mine. At first I thought it was some grass or something... /images/icons/laugh.gif At bike week my cousin's r6 with a Micron exhaust sounded a hundred times better than my R1 with a stock can.. That's why my new Micron system will be here Monday or Tuesday.. There is just no comparison.....

Hey Folks.. I'm looking to replace my pipe. The Dyno guys at my local Yamaha dealer are trying to sell me a leo vince, but I'm pointed more to a Akro. Those dyno guys say the leo sounds better, gives 1 HP less increase than the Akro, and will save me 250 bucks. What do you think of Leo?..

I LIKE it!! They are correct about the sound - The Hi-Mount looks GREAT!!

I'd get dynos for both systems and find out exactly where the power is being lost or gained. Peak HP comparisons don't say much in my book.
