I am a strong advocate for using brakes as the primary method for slowing down and agree with your dealer for a couple of reasons: first off, your brakes are much more powerful than the engine for this job (and with infinitely more control on the front wheel where it belongs). Second: brake pads are cheap compared to engines, transmissions and clutches if used for the same purpose....why add to the wear and tear of these components if a better tool for the job is available??
Besides, if you are truly looking to keep a low profile, engine braking, regardless of the exhaust system in place, always seems to attract more attention than not.
