One that is compatable with a TRE wired through a PC III or V, your choice, by-passed through the ECU Editor...

Love my hindle, does get a bit noisy but its got that all business sound
I love my CT single sided full titanium pipe...just burbles a sweet intoxicating sound when coming down from high rpm...lightened the bike up by over 40 lbs...that is an incredible weight loss. If I had to do it again I probably would pick it again..but I also love the Akropovic...lot of race teams use them and that means something to me..paid 1500 dollars for my pipes...ouch..

Since the only F/S I have ever had is the Alienhead, I have to vote for it. I love the way it looks and sounds.

I've read TONS and TONS of bike mag pipe comparo's over the years, and all the full systems put out within a couple of hp of each other, including Brocks. The biggest difference is where the power comes on at. Like somebody else mentioned above, the power difference is marginal. Although Brock fans would like you to believe you can get 30 hp with just his pipeBrocks / Hindle
Go to the manufacturers web sites. Most post data on their pipes. I've been shocked at the yosh site.
He makes great pipes, but its good to be real 
There's only so much you can do with pipe diameter, stepped headers etc, and all the companies know how to do those things...its just about where they want the power to be. Get what you like the looks and sound of, and you'll be plenty happy with the performance. I've owned Muzzy and Yoshi, and rode Brocks and Akro equipped bikes, all were great, just different sounds and types of power delivery
They all took away low end for more peak power, but the Yoshi took the least away, while still giving a similiar top end hit. More power is nice, but I LOVE the low end pull of my busa, use it all the time, and didn't want to give too much up I'm not into spinning my big motor way up constantly for good pull, defeats the whole purpose of having 1300cc's of engine Although I DEFINATELY enjoy a high rpm run through the gears at least once a ride lol. If I wanted a high rpm screamer though I'd own a liter bike
That brings me to another thought, I've noticed the gen1's stock have massive low end, but seem to rev out slower as they wind up. A full system gives them a lot quicker revving as they wind up, but depending on the system can kill quite a bit of the low end. The gen2 didn't seem quite as punchy down low, but picked up revs noticeably quicker. The age old question, do you want low end torque or high rpm power. Variable valve timing was suppose to fix that, but from what I've heard it hasn't quite lived up to that hype on bikes so far. I wish they'd give it a REAL shot on a bigger sportbike like a 1000 or busa/14.
Thank you everyone who had input! I really appreciate it!

i picked other. my vote goes to TiForce. had one, loved it. miss it dearly.
2nd choice would be Tsukigi.
both brands are not as common and are known to make good power, and sound great. just right, calm and subtle at cruising, and screaming at WFO.
i also quite like the HMF big bird.. would like to give that one a shot

HMF HighRise
Best looks bar none (IMHO) with excellent power gain and sound.
+1
I love the look and the sound of the dual high system!
