It really does have "jaw-dropping quality" & flawless welds. The sound with the one-bolt-to-remove baffle in place was nasal and not flattering. With it removed it was louder but still not desirable. The one system I put on a GS model was not dyno'd. He didn't care. All of our adult OilHead BMW customers on R1100S, R1150GS and R1150R models were not concerned with performance enough to pay for dyno runs. They wanted high end gloves, jackets and riding boots instead. Go figure.

Don't buy a Staintune system until you hear one running. It's that different sounding & very expensive.

Add a GPS unit and a heated vest for the off season and your smiling year-round . . . . without getting lost AND cold.

What if I like being lost and cold?

staintune do make a nice looking pipe, no real improve in performance
for that in Australia I would say overlander make a very good sports pipe

For something a little different you could use the early remus y pipe/can replaces the cat with y pipe & end can & exits where you would normally be bolting on the can (left side in front of tyre)

I would add a 600cc sport bike to the stable. That would be the best bag for the buck.
