Carbon Muffler Cover

I think this thing looks great. Any opinions? For $185, that's a huge improvement in the looks. After 4K miles, I am really starting to like the sound of the stock muffler anyway. I was thinking about getting a carbon can but I can save enough money to get the other carbon parts they are making now. The lower engine covers and belly pans look really nice too.

I agree that it's a real improvement. The dark colour shrinks it visually a bit I think. I was going to get this, but I'm leaning more toward the Dam pipe instead.

I see that Honda also has some carbon bits available now - maybe I just missed them earlier? You can find them in the accessories here: http://powersports.h...200f/build.aspx. They're just "bling" really, but nice bling.

Carbon pipe, cool.

Carbon cover, not cool.

I dont like hood scopes that dont function either.

I agree the pipe looks better but my leo vince saved me a bunch of wieght down there. the stock slip on is a bit heavy.

I think it looks really good, and a definite improvement over stock. Of course, there are a number of aftermarket slip-on's that would look even better, but if you're on a budget I'd say it's definitely a good option. Maybe I missed it in an earlier post, but what's the source?

Regarding the Honda accessory CF pieces, I just installed the tank pad to keep my big gut from scratching the tank. It looks great in person and provides the protection I was after.

My 2-cents...

The Honda CF knee pads are really nice too. Actually adds to the looks and takes away the fear that I'm going to wear and scratch the paint on the tank.
