...and with the exhaust emitting approximately 30 inches closer to the ground, why heck that woud help slow down global warming, it'd get to the ozone layer just that much later, Al Gore would invent it.....ooops....wrong thread....then again...maybe not.
sure wish i hadn't found out that my $1,500 staintune system can be swapped out by a $4.99 baloney cut chrome pipe at pep boys. what time do they close?

Remember it is not just the sound level, but the tone that is music to your ears, and I think that tone would be missing from that stubby set up.

My 1150RT with the Laser full system is louder than my GS with only the cat. And the cat only GS doesn't backfire on the over run like the Laser or Staintune full systems. My best sound preference on R bikes has been the cat/Staintune slip-on combo.

I have had the 2 bros cat eliminator since I got the 11S (first mod... well, second, after the cannister-ectomy) and it works fine, fits well and gets just as golden as any other pipe... yet, I only paid about $270 delivered! Works for me...

I bought and then sold a Staintune for the GS when I read on Adventure Rider that some guys have over 50k miles with only the cat and no adverse issues with the motor. I'm not sure if it may decrease the hp a bit as some say but they never commented on it and I'll find out soon. I ran it in the garage with only the cat and isn't much louder than stock. That cat is till very heavy so I'm looking at a system from Hattech that has a smaller cat and has un up-pipe that will work with the full sized left Jesse's that I just installed.
I want them to mate this cat .... http://www.hattech.de/bmw_R1150GS_system12.html to this up-pipe .... http://www.hattech.de/bmw_R1150GS_system_U2.html They are in Asia till the end of the month so I won't know till then
