Ok, so since i've got my dr350 (about 3 weeks) i've been in a search to find a decent, cheap exhaust for it that is loud enough that it can be heard, but not so loud that i get in trouble for noise violations. I've looked everywhere I can think of, probably checked 15 different web sites, and only came up with a few options.
-FMF Q slip-on : $330, seems too expensive and too quiet
-FMF Powercore 4 slip-on : $240, seems to be the best choice, but not adjustable for sound levels if i need it quiet
-Pro Circuit T4 Full system : $450, costs more than half of what the bike did!!!
-Supertrapp race series slip on : $205, nice that it's adjustable, but it's a supertrapp
-Supertrapp IDS2 slip on : $220, nice that it's adjustable, looks good, but it's still a supertrapp
(i'm not a big believer in disc arrested exhausts, I feel they are too restrictive and cause too much heat build up from the back pressure, and minimal power gains)
-Jetson CZR slip-on : $130, Ebay brand - cheap, but not a very well known brand, and mostly known for being loud and easily broken
-Modify the stock exhaust : (priceless haha) Some power gains, gives the exhaust a deep, mellow note that's not too loud, but it's ugly and heavy
-Keep the stock exhaust as it is : Sounds like someone farting through a pillow (very restricted, can barely hear it unless you're standing with your ear to the business end of it), still ugly and heavy, but so damn quiet that from what i've learned, you can sneak up on pretty much any nighttime creature at 60 mph and not scare them off the road (yeah, the deer don't run away from me, which kinda makes me nervous riding at night)
So those are the options i'm choosing from right now, unless someone has better sources than I do, and can find something better or for less.
Right now i'm really split on this. Let's hear some opinions, what would you guys pick? Anybody know of a web site that sells parts that went out of production? There used to be all kinds of stuff for this bike but they haven't been made since 99 so the aftermarket kinda bailed on it.
