I recently picked up a 98 vfr800 and it has a micron slip on but for me it's a touch too quiet (need to not only hear but feel that v4 in my bones and soul) it sounds great just on the quiet side. So my questions are : Is there a louder "slip on" if I buy headers will that increase performance and volume because I still like power and noise. I want louder but not reading

Hey All, I need a little help from the crowd; it is time to sell my 1997 VFR and I need an idea on the price. Here are some details and feel free to ask any questions. I'm sure some are wondering 'how do you have a 16 yr old bike w/ only 4300 miles', here are the cliff notes. I sold my Ducati 851 Superbike (uncomfortable) and bought the VFR then all my friends quite riding, I bought a Miata, switched jobs, moved, got married, bought a dirt bike, wrecked the dirt bike, broke both arms and legs (ouch) and here I am. This is the last of my bikes to go as it is my favorite. The bike is about as perfect as one would expect to find w/ this low of miles, always garaged, covered, and pampered. It's a 1997, 4350 miles, perfect shape, one adult owner, purchased new by me and always garaged. Within the last 300 miles it has: a new battery, new Michelin Pilot Sports (still have the nubs), carburetors cleaned and synchronized, valve clearances checked (w/ pix), new spark plugs, air filter, and voltage regulator. All the work has been done by myself as I am very anal about my bikes and cars. It currently has a Micron pipe (very nice, deep, sound) but I have the stock pipe as well. I have the original owners manual, shop manual, and tool kit, plus the factory rear seat cowl and balancing adapter for the rear wheel. I may be selling the pipe, shop manual, cowl and other accessories separately, but not sure as of yet. It has a throttle lock for comfort, and tank pad to stop scratches. I probably have a few other item to sell/go with the bike but need to gather a list. What do you think it's value is? I have seen a few '96/'97's in the $2000-$4000 range but with 12K to 50K+ miles. This bike is a great example and a true survivor for someone who wants a 4th Gen VFR; tell me what you think. Once I have a better idea it'll be in the classifieds. TIA Bruce
