Default Changing out exhaust

Hey, I'm changing out the stock pipes on my 1200C. I was online and saw Big Growl pipes. Can anyone tell me if these are good pipes. Quality looks good, comes with everything needed to install. Let me know what you guys know if anything about Big Growl pipes.

I was thinking about these for a while. From my experience, they're pretty nice and have a good sound to them. I ended up sticking with drags and baffles for now because I'm saving up for an RB LSR2 setup, but for just cruisin, the Big Growls seem ok. You may also want to look into a new higher flow air cleaner setup and a basic jet kit.

Just look around and see what suits you. There are alot of options as far as air cleaners go. I'm a big fan of my Ness Big Sucker...it definitely lives up to its name, lol. Everyone will recommend something different, but in truth it all produces pretty much the same results.
