Custom Exhaust -- Chipping?

[ErricZ]

I've been thinking about going and getting a custom dual-exhaust done at my local kick-arse performance shop (they've done all my VeeDubs and plenty of others). The guy can get stainless and carbon steel down to 1-1/2 "without any tooling" problem.

Now for the tech questions:

1) Cans? Should I go with a couple of two-bros mufflers? or maybe have them use some small custom mufflers. Who is it that makes the C2, C4 and C5s???

2) Chip? Who should I consult with for a chip? BBPower? I forget who else does this.

3) Drool? How will I clean the drool off of the bike when everyone on the list hears her new purr for a lot less than $1,000+?!?! *GRIN*

Two Brothers makes the C series.
As for which cans you should choose that's a personal choice.
There are a lot to choose from and they all sound different.

If you want the BB Power Chip, order it direct
from Bernhard Bludau

Ok, who else makes custom chips besides BB?

As far as cans go, has anyone tried just doing a "cat-bypass" and keeping the stock mufflers? Is that worth it? I was quoted a price of $175-$300 depending on if they have/want to machine a flange for the 2-into-1.

I did it you can use the cat eliminater from tbr it runs around 250.00 It works ok this bike doesn't get much HP from just a pipe anyway. The sound was not to impressive unlike the tbr cans.

So what are you saying then? I'm going the custom route because I like their work and my guy seems to think it'sll do ok with the stock cans.........but, I'm willing to invest in some C2s if there is something to be had there. A chip is a must afterwards, of course, but I'm just trying to get some tone out of her and "buying an ST2" like my friend says is *NOT* an option. *grin*

Yes the tbr cans sound good much better than the stock. the power increase is not drastic by any means.
