Thank you very much, it is one of the better sounding ones by far IMHO (well obviously I think that or I wouldn't have gotten it), it really starts to sing between 7k-8k rpm. It also flows perfectly with the tail of the bike.

Mark, Get a Sato Racing Slip on, it's one of the few that actually makes power. Also Upgrading filters, and a Power Commander is a good Idea.

For the most part you will only see an increase between 2-4 hp with a slip-on(if that) from any manufacturer, I know I look at everyone. The stock Honda exhaust is incredible relative to the old ones, just doesn't have a throaty sound. A PC III will do a lot, makes it feel like a whole different bike. Also, Sato does not have an exhaust available for the 07-08 bikes.

It's not exactly power that I'm looking for - the RR will wildly out-accelerate the S2000, but I'm still six seconds faster around TWS in the car compared to the bike. Braking is where I really need to improve and that has nothing to do with the bike - the exhaust would just be for the enjoyment of the sound. (Although not loosing power is of course a requirement. )

Shot on GoPro Hero HD:


The camera has the non-waterproof housing on, so wind noise is a little obnoxious. You're supposed to use that housing if it is dry and you're going under 100mph, well I didn't plan on exceeding that, but.. oh well.
