Question SCORPION EXHAUST for 05' ZX6R 636 Ninja

I saw this SCORPION carbon fiber slip-on exhaust on ebay. It was a nice looking carbon fiber, but we all know looks aren't everything for sure. I was wondering how decent this pipe was. I have and Akropovic on backorder right now and keep seeing all these other pipes that i think are soooo much more better looking. I know the Akro performance is outstanding but i'm not really pushed over the edge by its looks. Someone help me make up my mind....AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Akra for your bike...Then again it is what you want out of it. Looks is one thing and performance another but performance is negligible (5hp) since it is not that much unless you go a full exhaust. If that is the case, then get something you want that looks good.

With slip-ons performance makes very little difference. Actually, unless you are trying to smooth out the power delivery/band any exhaust, on a minimally modified streetbike, is negligible.

Get what sounds "good" to you, and looks like you want it to look.

You could get a Boz. bros motogp exhaust. It ends at the footpeg, no can. It's nice and loud and gives your bike a nice, clean look. Oh, and it's a fraction of the Akro system and maybe just as good. I'll post dyno results when I have it done.
