I want to know how QUIET it is.
Why can't you aftermarket people make mufflers that are just as quiet as stock, but weigh less?

I typically look for companies with enough corporate ethics that they don't try piggybacking on to other websites with stupid polls about "what you like about the product I have to sell".....I suppose the next step is some lame "hey guess what guys" crappola about this cool new website/company you just "discovered".......
The easiest thing you could have done is been straight forward and listed this in the vendors section as representing the company and an introductionary note, instead you go with this.... In answer to you "poll" I look for exhaust that are quiet.

The poll is flawed!
Proper ('good') design would make the sound and looks desirable. To me, an exhaust should look like it belongs on the bike, and wasn't just hung there. And, it should make as little noise as possible, given the performance requirements. And the noise it does make should have 'quality,' meaning it does not grate the ear. Less weight, the better!

It's simple really: At full bark I want the can to produce less than 100dB form 50ft. However, I don't want it to sound as bad as one of those tuner cars. I want an authoritative, meaningful "feel" out of my exhaust. Kinda like my Supertrapp on my vintage K bike. Good bark, but not loud.

"Sport= performance
