Sounds groovy but they are kinda big. My point was, I have never seen or heard of another RC51 with Staintunes. Its strange. That has to sound incredible. Very smexy too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandyRedRC46 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Interesting old thread, its funny how these get brought back to life! Speaking from experience, my '07 RWB fitted with Leos and my Gen 5.5 hybrid fitted with undertail Gen 6 Staintunes, and finding both used at a fair price, I would honestly say that there is no comparison. The Staintunes on the 5.5 sound far throatier and really highlight the V4. The Leos are nice dont get me wrong, but dollar for dollar the Staintunes sound better IMHO. I wouldn't be surprised if most of that throat is because of all the valves being open all the time. Sixth gens are much quieter until VTEC. Also not sure if your fifth gen is catless or not too, but that makes a big difference as well. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the pipe and the sound. Had to get a set for the 07 RWB. I wouldn't have any other pipe on a VFR. Are you still on the big list? It still exists... not so big these days of course. It's a Googlegroup, and there's a surprising number of old school members on it. I've been more or less a continual member since 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a bunch of curmudgeons who ride together every now and then. I'm only a 2001 member... Matt Haymarket, VA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
