Guest JMUVFRrider Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hey all, New to this forum...so happy to find it. I'm a fairly novice rider (only been on the bike for about a year now) and I own an '03 Honda VFR 800 (italian red). I absolutely love the bike, but I'd like a little more noise from the exhaust while hopefully enhancing the bike's performance. Where would be the best place to start? I look forward to reading any/all responses and I hope to see you all out there on the roads soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer johnmark101 Posted March 15, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 15, 2009 There are a lot of choices, and the VFR sounds amazing with just about any aftermarket exhaust. Some even rework the stock exhaust by different gutting methods and get good results. Some popular brands for the VFR are Staintune, Micron, Lazer, Two Brothers and Remus. There are others. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Hey, welcome abord. I got an 02, and did a complete gut. It sounds amazing, and costs almost nothing. Check it out on youtube, and in the forums here. Good luck, and happy hunting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Maddog Hoek Posted March 15, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think Tpierce still has a set of Staintunes for around 500$ or so, PM him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Motors.com had them for $541.00 and had free shipping. Good luck, JD 100_0735.JPG 100_0726.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gradus Posted March 15, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 15, 2009 If you ever plan to add the factory bags to your bike, they don't work with all aftermarket exhausts. I know the Staintune works with bags and I think Remus works. Just something to keep in mind. I gutted my exhaust and have been happy with it.

For other references, does any other system still utilize both tail pipes are is the left always a "dummy pipe"? Regarding the dummy pipe, I've even heard that some use this as a place to store their cell phone, etc? Is that really possible without much modification?

Member Contributer TucsonErik Posted March 17, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 17, 2009 Bought mine with a Leo Vince Caron Fiber already on it. I really like how it sounds and looks. DSC_0057.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer crazybrother Posted March 17, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 17, 2009 I too almost bought the LeoVince Carbon pipes too, just liked the look of the 2Bros better. I was told by the Tech support folks at 2Bros, that on our bikes 02-08 VFR there's no gain to the second pipe. That's why it's not used. It is however a real pipe so you could swap it out for the used one if you like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer leanit Posted March 17, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted March 17, 2009 I like the Scorpions also...are those stainless steel or will they start to turn "blueish" over time? I have seen several sets of Scorpions over the years and they all looked good with no blueish hue at all. I believe they are stainless steel.

vfr_steve Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I personally think alot of 6th gen aftermarket cans spoil the look, the stock ones run flush with the body - however BOS make a fantastic alternative that don't look so out of place and sound sweet without giving you a headache :goofy: .... sound >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2IN1lVzo2Y...re=channel_page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
