From my evperience, RB Racing is top of the line. Pricey, and patience is key when ordering as they don't get in a hurry. But you get what you pay for.
On the other hand, best bang for the buck is Drago's, hands down.

Thanks for both your comments. I'm sold on the look. Reading their web-site I'm thinking they will still be louder than I'm looking for....not that I wouldn't like them......just afraid I wouldn't like them all the time.

RB Racing 2/1 Blackhole are the best. Lots of power and quiet at cruise. 110mph in forth gear and gets there quick.

I like Drago's Dragula for the fit, finish & price but can't say they are the best sounding or best performing, just that they are OK.

Interesting. If only one pipe, I like the look of the shorter LSR better from behind. But, I'm taking a good long look at RBracing exhaust......a phone call may be in order too!
