i'm also not a fan of the different sized tips. not only that, but you'll eventually end up with the inner large tips being black while the outer ones look clean.

you get what you pay for.
RPI is actually a very high quality unit. From what I understand Eloy designs his exhausts for maximum performance without consideration to sound style or volume. I don't particularly like the sound or their signature tip style (which derives from their work on Porsches) on a BMW, but I have no doubt that their performance exceeds what else is on the market - including the exhaust on my MC.

I've used their skid plates and intake scoop on my MC and both worked great with noticeable results.

i agree with getting what u pay for, but justification for a kreissieg system at over six times the price of the rpis is a bit much. my second choice would've been supersprint race mufflers. i'm more than happy with my rpis

-The BMS exhaust, no longer available. Magnaflow mufflers and tips with custom x-pipe, connections, tips angles, etc.
