Now that I've been riding my recently purchased 94 VFR for about 2500km since I bought her in February, I decided that I wanted an exhaust that's a bit louder than the stock can.
Since I don't want a raspy/shrieky kind of sound and favor a more bass heavy deep tone, I wanted to know how the shape/length and material of an exhaust are involved in getting such a tone.
Are there any exhausts out there that deliver such a tone? From what I know Devil and Leo Vince are pretty rumbly exhausts, but hard to get for a fourth gen.
Got any ideas?
Cheers

Well IME having 2 5th gens in the garage with different pipes the stainless Scorpion on viffergyrl's has a deeper, more rumbly sound compared to the midrange bark of my 2 Bros carbon. Both pipes are very similar in size, and shape. Actually I think the 2 Bros on my bike was originally from a 4th gen as the mounting bracket that came with it didn't work that well. I just made my own mount, and it's fine now.
What I've heard of the Devil titanium cans, I love the sound, with a super low tone that really is quite different from a lot of other cans out on the market. Can't a universal slip-on be used on a 4th gen with maybe a little work done to the midpipe?
Both my 1999 VFR and 2001 RC51 had the TwoBros systems on them and they were very deep. This was my main reason for going with TwoBros. However, I believe the Micron was even deeper but I don't know if they were produced for your 1994- you'll have to check. I didn't purchase the Micron because I felt the TwoBros was nicer looking and still had a deep rumble- although not as deep as the Micron.

The most basso VFR750 I've heard also had a Two Brothers system on it, but that's a full system, not a slip-on. It sounded like two Ducati v-twins idling next to each other :musik20:
I'm the same way about tone... Might check out DAM exhaust. Love their sound, a bit pricey though.
They make a can for all the VFR's but I can't find a youtube vid of the 1994 with the pipe, but you can check the videos on their website to hear what they make.
*** edit:
I lied... found a video, but it's kinda crappy.
*** re-edit:
I've ordered one for my 1200... haven't gotten it yet though. Seems they make them as they're ordered. Hopefully will ship next week and I'll have it within a week or two of shipment. Sounds just beastly on the 1200 which will be a HUGE improvement over the stock sound. Currently it sounds like a juiced up lawnmower.
This is a very small Belgian manufacturer that makes pipes by hand.
I found mine too loud but it's very deep, so I went to them and they made a db-killer for me...took them 30 minutes and it was build from scratch.
