You appear to like high rise mufflers! Looks like a nice day there. 

The fact, they both have high rise mufflers is purely incidental but you may be right,  now since I think about it. When I bought the vfr, I wanted to put the oem pipe on (was included in the sale) but the owner told me the bike was jetted for the V&H pipe, so I did not change it. Well, it looks kind of better with it and sounds good, not too loud but not as good as a staintune. Well, if I could get my hands on a high rise staintune, that would be like Christmas!

As for the  599 hornet, I just like the looks of the bike, the mufflers is kind of bulky (they call it scud rocket launcher in Europe)  but it is quiet and I can fly under the radar most of the time.

Aside from the 748 models, I think that all of mine have been low/standard mount, even the track bikes. Pulling the trigger on a can for the yellow bike tomorrow.

Definitely low. I don't like the high mounts on the VFR. 

Please post a picture when set and done.

New seals (2 stacked in each leg), took the opportunity to give the lowers a thorough clean

Keep riding! Was about 5 C today but I got caught in fog with under 50m visibility coming home. It's a good challenge. 👍

If you need a replacement system then predator exhausts in the UK do a single silencer full stainless system. I had one on my 86 model. Made 59HP on the dyno with 56K/miles on the clock 👍
