Good sounding pipes. Very low pitch. Not too loud at 65. No drone at this speed. This is with the short screen and earplugs. Have not tried my tall screen yet.Originally Posted by oiler

I augmented the stock pipes with a very quiet helmet and foam ear plugs.

Removed 4 of 6 baffles leaving 1 baffle on each side. Certainly doesn't sound like a Harley, but I like it better than stock. And yes, I thought seriously about a Harley but I went for the dependability of the F6b over exhaust note.
Man, at the price of "slip ons" for this bike, I might get the torq loopz and that's it. I'd buy a seat before pipes. Or parts for my Mustang GT....

I'm new to F6B riders. I just had mine delivered last Sunday. Love it, love it, love it! It has Two Brothers Racing Exhaust (black and carbon fiber) on it. The sound described on this forum as drone is very prevalent with a full face helmet. Extremely annoying at RPM's above 2500. No helmet or half helmet is just fine with no drone. The pipes look great, sound is good, but not overly impressive. I would of left stock on and I'm glad I got the stock exhaust from the seller. I'll probably switch it back to stock for any long distance rides that leads me to wear a full face helmet. I'm open to any suggestions to cure this unfortunate annoyance.
I dont want to hijack this thread....if I need to be re directed please do so. But..... is there any dyno hard data that shows that slip on exhaust and torque loops increase HP and or torque?
Has anyone put the F6B on the dyno before doing the pipes and loops to get a reading and then after the installation of pipes and loops put it back on the dyno to check the numbers?
or is this all a sound thing?
Kuryakyn Polygon integrated exhaust tips. They don't change the sound at all, they just look awesome and redirect the exhaust down. Attachment 23660
