    I am going to get a PC5 for my bike and then have a custom map done at Dynojet in Preston, but i need to make a decision before i do this............ i currently have an Ixil Hyperflow (little cute) exhaust on the bike which looks lovely and shows off the rear wheel very well, it just fits in with the bikes looks, but its attached to the cat with a cover over it. I am hearing lots of views on the web that de-cat'ing the bike before fitting a power commander is best, i would not mind doing this but it will mean a new exhaust because the Ixil could not cope with simply removing the cat, it would sound like a fighter jet ! All the other exhausts i see are not very nice looking and just obscure the rear wheel too much............ is there a nice '' ittle '' exhaust which i could use (without the cat) that looks as good as the ixil ? Also i don't want any hanger support to need to go to the rear pillion pegs as these are removed now and i like the clean look.

    Arrow Thunder? Or I'm quite partial to the Yoshi R77 look.

    That is nice, i have also come across and Devil Master exhaust which is not that far away from the Yoshimura.
