MotoGPWerks Exhaust Opinions?? was created by madmatt1
I'd really like to grab up one of the stainless pipes these guys make. Currently, I have a Vance & Hines megaphone that has the normal baffle in it. I'm happy with the way the bike runs with it, but it doesn't look that great, and let's face it- the Yoshi replica pipes these guys make look incredible. However, I am not one to sacrifice too much streetability in the name of vanity. Soooo... Anybody have real world experience to share on how their bike runs with this exhaust? The one I'm looking at does not have a "can" on it, just an upswept straight pipe with a slim baffle. Obviously, it's going to be LOUD. I am more worried about losing a bunch of bottom end, dicking around with jets all over again, etc. Thanks in advance.

If it had a Kerker style baffle, I would get one......don't like the skinny tail.

well... if you search for "motogpwerks" you get this about 10 pages

and if you search for the alternate spelling "motogpworks" you get this about 4 pages

Looks like you have some reading to do! :lol: :laugh:

Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

Here's a pic of my bike with the yoshimura style pipe (no can on it). Yes it was very loud and Chris (owner) told me that up front. I fixed that problem by putting a baffle in there from a 2-stroke expansion chamber.

Performance-wise, I'm not sure how good it is. My motor is not in a high state of tune. It looks nice and doesn't require much maintenance.

If it's any consolation, your bike LOOKS like it would be in a high state of tune- gorgeous!
Well, thanks for the picture, anyways. Now I at least know very well what it looks like installed :lol:

So. The general consensus is that it's a good pipe. I can't speak for the canless model as mine is the race version with the can. It makes a BEAUTIFUL noise and is a quality product made in the US of A for a great price. Did I mention that it also made my bike "seat of the pants" faster than the Kerker that I had on it?

I'm in the same boat as Pete. Hoping to get my bike done by end of summer. You can here one that Triangula has, he made a video on YouTube.
