Mitch Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thank you to everyone that posted on my last topic! It really helped me out a lot. Now I just need to decide whether to go for Carbon Fiber or Titanium. Are they any advantages/disadvantages to either of them? I heard the exhaust note is different, titanium can dent easier, which one does everyone think looks better? Any after all that is it worth to spend the extra $$, should I just got with aluminum? Thanks for you help! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Honley Posted February 24, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2008 Mitch, Unless you plan on racing I don't think the difference in weight is worth the difference in cost. I thought about it and that is the conclusion I came up with and then I bought mine. (Aluminum) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about it and that is the conclusion I came up with and then I bought mine. (Aluminum) This is a good point. The aluminum vs. CF vs. Ti argument could go on forever. All Leo Vince cans are going to be lighter than stock. It will just be up to your preference. The aluminum has the shiny, chrome look. So if you want to have a bike with that look, go with aluminum. The weight and sound will be very similar to the other Leos. If you are looking for the red and black look (not sure what color your 03 is), than you might like the CFs better. They are more expensive - just depends on how much you are willing to pay for the look. Same with titanium. Many people like the dull silver look instead of the shiny aluminum, so they spend the extra $$. I think all Leos are going to be worth the money. Good sound, nice looking, and very well-built from a company that has been making exhausts a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 I am going to have enough money for the Ti or CF. I dont think i want the shininess of the aluminum cans. I was reading somewhere and they said the exhaust note between the CF and Ti were a little different. I had a ZX-6 with a CF pipe on it and I loved how it looked and sounded, so I am leaning toward the CF, but I want the bike to sound as nasty as possible so if Ti sounds better I might go with that!

Member Contributer Rivcyko Posted February 24, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2008 C.F. is not gonna have the thump, of a metal can. (all though the diff. will be slight). Can always covet the Ti, later. He!!, flip a coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer ggathagan Posted February 24, 2008 Member Contributer Share Posted February 24, 2008 Another reason to get Ti: LV is discontinuing Ti cans for VFR's. Get one while you cam! http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=39655 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 I saw that they were doing that! I need to make my decision pretty soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Either choice is gonna be an improvement over stock. I personally went with the cf. Thought the black cans would look great on a red bike, I am right! IMO of course!! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Its really gonna be up to you as to what you think looks best on your bike, no weight difference to speak of and no difference in power. I have a close up of my cf on a black 06 if that helps: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
