Looking to buy a new exhaust for my Ninja now thats its finally warm enough out to ride it. I can't really decide between the scorpion or the two brothers. Both are slip on, and a lightweight alternative to the 14 lb stock cat/exhaust on the bike currently.

Just looking for something to give it a bit more growl over that sissy stock sound. Whatcha all think?

nope. Haven't even heard of it to be honest. I'm having trouble finding a vid of one on a Ninja 650. Where'd you see this?
Thanks for the tipoff though. fing02.gif

Whatever you do, just dont get an obnoxiously loud one. Theres nothing worse than bleeding from the ears when a bike is anywhere above idle.

I agree. Just want something with a bit more sporty tone to it. That's why im a little unsure. Can anyone link me to the yoshimura? I can't find it.
Hey Alex, you got a 250 right? You keeping the exhaust stock?

Yah i plan on keeping most everything stock on it all the way up till i feel ready for something bigger, to keep it cheap and reliable mostly but the exhaust is esspecially off limits because i live in a condo community that doesnt like motorcycles so i'm trying to stay on everybody's good side with a nice quiet exhaust.
But I do plan on doing little stupid stuff that'll make it look better without costing much. like a rear fender delete and maybe different mirrors.

I'm with ya on that alex. Superficial mods are probably the way to go for now at least anyways. I had to buy a tank cover, and I really wanna drop some HID's in, but alas, they be pesky reflector housings. Not as good as our projectors eh?

I just put a Two Brothers on a friend's Ninja last weekend. It was an easy install. The dude tried to do it without reading directions and called me over. Just make sure you use all of the parts wink1.gif
He was happy with the Two Brothers. I thought it was a bit loud and poppy. It's personal preference.
