Keep it stock and go to track school.

If you go with the whole system you get to go meet nels, It will be a complete different bike. With a slip on you just ride it, will sound better but not much power differance.

I'm ditching my aftermarket slip-on and going back to stock. Year ears will thank you after not having to hear a constant "droning" in your helmet.

Yoshimura usually works really well with GSXRs.

If you're not riding your bike to %99, you won't really see any difference between a slip on and a full system. If all you want is better looks and sound, there really isn't much point in the extra cost of a full system, unless you just want bragging rights. But if you do go with a full system, be sure to factor in the cost of a power commander, and probably a tune. If you're on a budget, I really like GPR cans.

love how so many people feel the need to say go to track school every time someone asks about an exhaust. i didn't see him ask about going to track school.

anyway, exhausts... i love my arrow euro cup exhaust... youtube it. sounds great imo

i would maybe go akrapovic for a little quieter but great sounding note... just my .02

I love my Yoshmura slip on. It sounds great and the volume is no too obnoxious. I doubt very much that there is any real power gain, but it does eliminate weight.

While you can just install it and go, I found that the bike runs a bit lean with the slip on. I plan on having it tuned the cure this.

Maybe because they asked the same quesion long ago, and have found that aftermarket exhausts offer little benefit on most bikes these days, while improving one's skills offers huge benefits.

i think most (all) people will agree (should agree), but the OP did not ask whether or not an exhaust would be a good performance upgrade, nor did they ask if it was a better investment than spending money on track days or skill days. maybe if the OP asks "what should i spend my money on, a skill day or an exhaust" would that answer be helpful.

Maybe because without a re-map and a power commander(even MORE money) he gains NOTHING except, mak'in more noise and alerting the LEO?
If he's not riding the bike to it full potential how is a a noise maker going to help him?

Winnar winnar, chikin dinnar.. I personally love it when the cooler, more experienced heads give advice and some pube tries to trash it because "I can do whatever I want". We heard what he asked, and we all knew exactly what he meant. He has a 600, he wants more from it. Why ask about a slip on vs full system if not for power gains? We've all been there. If you look at what everyone (including me) was telling him, it's the gods honest truth from experienced people. If you don't want advice, you shouldn't ask for it. And since you weren't the OP, whose opinion out of all of these truly wasn't asked for?

There's weight and power savings to be had from ditching the OEM pipe. As for volume, I agree. My next bike I'll be wise and focus on a pipe that manages volume adequately.

Then get something like my Arrow slip ons. They have removable DB killers so that you can get all the sound you want, then when you get tired of it simply put the DB killers back in. Best of both worlds. You could even do DB killers on the street, then uncork it a bit if you did a track day.

there is some good advice to be found in the previous posts.

If you are just looking for sound, it doesn't really matter what you get. As long as you stay with the big name manufacturers. Yoshimura has long been an excellent product for Suzuki's.

For the most part, just get what you like for looks. Some of the pipes are really loud, some are just louder/throatier.

If you are looking for a more potent power gain, a full system, a power commander/tuning device, with a dyno tuned map can really wake up a bike.

be advised though, as some have already said, adding a noisy slip-on just for sound can bother you. riding the highway on a bike, with that constant droning, kinda bugs me. Buy some foam ear plugs, lol. The droning can also cause added fatigue.

So do what you want, and yeah, a trackday might be better money spent, to increase your riding skills. But if you want to add some bling/noise, a slip-on is cool, and way cheaper than a full system. It has already been said, loud pipes can be heard FAAAAAR away, and if you out hooliganing, it alerts law enforcement easier. On a nice quiet night, i can hear sport bikes wailing for MILES.

Also, adding a slip-on can make an already lean running (for emissions) bike pop on deceleration. the addition of a good tune can help that as well
