Exhaust Question

[Frye]

I can't answer as far as difference between 2016 and earlier years because my 2016 is the only F6B I've owned. I can say there is no drone under any conditions I've experienced on my bike. Not at low speeds, not during high speed super slab riding.

I'd also say they seem to be a little louder and better sounding now at 9000+ miles than when I bought the bike new this past January.

It's still a little quieter than I'd like though. This past summer I had two cages try to pull into my lane right on top of me while going through the Chicago area and keeping up with traffic at around 85-90 MPH. Would not have happened on my old Valk because they would have heard me.

I replaced the stock chrome pipes on my 2013 with a set of stock black pipes from a 2016....sightly louder but no drone. Its a very small difference but I notice it. Personally, I would not do it unless I was changing color.

I have the Cobra's on mine and love them. That is a subjective view for sure, as read in these very forums. I put the chrome set on my matte silver '15. I like how it stands out against the dark colors.

I traded my '15 black pipes to a friend. He has a red '13 and the black pipes look way better than the stock chrome. Before I did my swap out with him we ran them both side by side with the stock exhausts. YES, the '15's have a deeper/richer sound when heard side by side. [But as soon as I start mine, now with Cobra's, it drowns out even the '15 stockers. ]
