Im a cheap ****...I can't justify spending $300+ on a set of slip-ons. $100-$150 maybe...but $300? No way. Spend the money on a full set of exhaust. You'll save money in the end. Let me rationalize....
Spend $300 now on slip-ons.
You'll get tired of no increase in performance.
You'll buy a new exhaust system..possibly 2-1.
Sell the old slip-ons at a fraction of the cost, taking a huge hit.
Put the $300 towards full exhaust. OR buy some cycle shacks or SEII slip-ons for ~$100.

But yea, if you're going to be getting into that motor anytime soon...skip the slips.

So you have to get into the motor to see any gains from a 2 into 1 system? I didnt know that. In that case slipons for me. My thing is I dont want to jjust be louder I want it to sound good ,deep , muscle car sound kind of. I was wondering if a 2 into one would make that sound better than slip ons.

I was thinking of putting on some slip-ons till my other bike sold, fingers crossed, but decided to just wait till I can afford the full system. I may have to wait till spring before my bike sells due to the late riding season but such is life.

I went with the Rush 1.75 and couldn't be happier. Quality sound without ripping off all the brand new chrome that came with a pretty expensive stock bike.
Some day when it loses its "shine", I'd then consider a full system.
All depends on your pocketbook and priorities.
