85 VF 500 exhaust options

I was looking for a quiet option for my 500. The bike came with some sort of aftermarket slip-on's which dont sound too bad for the track, but not so good for cruising around town. are the stock mufflers quiet or will they rob too much perfomance? just lookin for options right now. thanks

Those look like F1's with the sticker removed. If it hasn't been rejetted you can go back to stock exhaust.

I think you are correct ! There was a faint outline of the sticker before I cleaned them up.

Thanks

are the stockers much quieter?

Those are Cobra F1R's. They have the extended aluminum can and are more free-flowing than the F1's. Not many options out there unless you want to build something custom or go back to stock. Regular F1's sound pretty good. That's what I have on mine and the idle is throaty but it's not too loud at higher rpm.

I'm sure there's someone out there who might be willing to trade straight up if you offer.
