Exhaust Time

[Twist The Throttle]

Since the weather here has taken a turn for the worst, I've decided to do some research on exhaust systems. I won't asked the usual questions since there is a search and I'm a decent wrencher (not a pro but a weekend warrior).

So my questions is, should I get a polished, carbon, titanium, or ceramic coated exhaust for a 2005 Red/Black Busa?

now that is a beuty 05 unmolested.... how have you done it and pull it out this far....

Just got her about three weeks ago. She was lost in a garage next to a custom Arlen Ness chopper and a Harley Road Glide. She had 1,150 miles on her. When i turned the ignition on and looked down, I thought I was looking at the time.

That is one sweet 05.

That's one sweet bike, you lucked out.

Titanium! I love the red 05's!!!

 

[Commuta_Busa]

I would have to go titanium

I like the looks of Carbon Fiber myself, as long as they are tastefully done.

I also like the Carbon cans....

I think any of your choice's would look good on that bike though

I also vote for TITANIUM, will go well with the frame.

Carbon fiber, looks good, and is very forgiving to the touch. It doesn't get very hot, and chicks don't like to burn their legs on your pipes

Titanium Exhaust, Vortex sprockets (1st Gen) UPDATED!! - Hayabusa Classifieds

I throw in the polishing pad and some rouge...

 

[MikeSomething]

I'd have to say that it would have to depend on the brand of system, sir....

Titanium exhaust with carbon cans, extremely light and cools to the touch quickly, only drawback is it cost more

Thanks for all the replies and now I have some thinking to do.

I was thinking of going with Brocks but I'm not too crazy about moving the oil cooler or taking off the line each time I need to change the filter. I can do it, but it shouldn't be that way IMHO. I toyed with the idea of slip-on's to keep the stock headers, then ceramic coat the mufflers black. The cost of doing this is about the same as a full system! I would however save on the cost of a PC III, air filter, and Pair block off's, and possibly a tune.

I looked at the Tsukigi Cannon which was my first choice. They do make one for the 1st Gen but Tsukigi USA is having production problems with Japan according to the rep in Los Angeles.

So...Back to looking, reading and asking questions. Thanks for listening to me boo-hoo..
