That seems high considering the $500-800 options out there. Delk, GPR, there’s a NIB Scorpion on eBay, and there’s SP Engineering I just started looking at.

I’m sure some of the others sound like Honda Civic cans, but almost double the price is tough. Need LeoV to reissue!  Repack intervals...can’t say that would bother me too much.

Staintunes imho are the absolute best looking and sounding kit for the VFR.  When you see the quality of these you will know they will last the life of the bike.  Incomparable finish and sound.  I've heard and seen all of the competition = no comparison.  I have never regretted my purchase, frankly one of the best farkles I've gotten for either my 5th or current 6th gen.  You get what you pay for.

Lasers look the best, possibly sound the best on 6th. Staintune is 100% the best single side muffler for the 5th! (I have 2, low and high mount)

How do you stain a tune?

 

If you think about it, staining something does not sound particularly flattering...

 

I have always read it like sta-in-tune I could be wrong on this and I most likely am wrong. but that's what I am going with.

It's funny how many people say this (about the 5th Gen Staintune). I had one on my old 5th Gen (looked for several years to get a decent deal on a 2nd-hand one). In speaking to a motorcycle tuner, he reckoned that the flow design of the pipe actually wasn't the best. Granted, they're a long-term proposition, and you never need to repack 'em, but whether they're the "best" slip-on you can chuck on a 5th Gen in terms of flow/performance is probably debatable.

 

My current 5th-Gen came with a small run custom high mount made for AB (and a few other 5th Gen diehards) back in the day. I'd have to get a VERY good deal on something demonstrably better than it to even consider changing it out. Frankly, I doubt that there's anything (including Staintune) out there that is "better enough" to be compelling...

I never said flow or performance was better.  Just the looks and sound.  And honestly, with a slip on, what the heck else matters?  Hands down the best for our bikes.  If you like the sound and performance out of your setup, my congrats to you.  There are really NO issues with these pipes for our bikes.
