    Hi, as my Repsol is about to go its first service (George Whites £139) fancy a bit of noise and like the look of Racefit Growlers. Wondering if anyone has experience with them as I was shocked to hear the complaints about Taylormade ones !

    Thanks
    Si

    Get an R77 Race and leave the baffles out if you want noise.....

    My mate has one on his 08 and he loves it. It much louder than my Leo vince. I prefer quoted exhausts but the racefit does look good. Not sure what the power gains/loss would be though. They weight next to nothing though

    I think the Racefit does look good, but can't be too loud with baffle fitted?
    That Austin racing looks good too!

    I nearly bought an austin pipe as it does look alot like the racefit for a few hundred less. No infill panel was the deal breaker for me as IMO it looks like something is missing when you can see the link pipe and the fairing ends in the middle of the bike.

    The austin pipe on ebay has a leo vince panel so you could get 1 of those and make it fit

    No i do like it mate. Im looking at the 2 now and its a very very hard choice. The GP can looks very race bike but the slash cut end looks a bit tatty where the V3 has a better finish with the carbon end cap and the shape is nice .
