Reply With QuoteI too, highly recommend the FMF Apex. it is fairly inexpensive, a head turner, not overly loud, but loud enough that people know you are in the lane next to them, and like xtreme saidits just plain bad ass to have a FMF pipe on my street bike!
I kinda like the looks of the OEM exhaust on the CR. A bit strange looking, which fits the bike. Subjective I know.
I agree the sound leaves a LOT to be desire, but what stock pipe doesn't.
As for the exhaust blowing directly onto the rear rotor, there is NO excuse for that design flaw. My rear brake is totally useless and I contribute it to the exhaust design.

Dude, I've ridden behind Xtreme6669 with his FMF, It's definitely loud. I wouldn't say it's obnoxious though.
Awesomly,

Thanks Eric!
Your XB sounds bad ass with your modded pipe too!
does the FMF come with a quiet insert? i really dig it but im trying to keep under the radar a bit!
also does anyone know where can you get the best price on one from a shop that will deliver internationally
What's the fun in that?!im trying to keep under the radar a bit!
I'm personally going with a custom pipe from keda-design.com (D_adams on BWB). Unless something changes my mind. I don't think you can beat it ... a collector-back pipe made to your spec for under $600. Plus, I think they sound nasty.
sadly ive been defected enough times with previous bikes... i need to keep the bike on the road as its my only transport atm and i do about 30,000km per anum.
Yea it comes with a quiet insert... GAY!
Mines a paper weight on the work bench:
you can install it in either direction: tapering toward the header is most quiet, taper down toward the muffler is medium and removed is loudest.
