Just a word of advice. I searched the net for quite a while deciding which exhaust to fit to my FZS600. I wanted something a little fruity sounding but still road legal and opted for a Motogp carbon stubby from SP Engineering. Its a lovely exhaust. Good quality and well priced. The advert for the item quite clearly stated 'Road Legal'. However, when I took it for a recent MOT I got an advisory for the exhaust being loud (yes, the baffle is fitted). In fairness the exhaust is pretty loud but not what I would call offensive and especially not at 'tickover' which is the only revs the MOT tester heard it at.
I took this matter up with 'SP Engineering' and they stated that they didn't make road legal exhausts. The BS stamp means that the exhaust conforms to british standards in its materials and construction allegedly. Not that it is road legal. This is very annoying considering I would have purchased from a different manufacturer had I not been mislead at the time.
Besides, I have found that loud exhausts sound awesome up to a point but can also become a pain in the arse on longer rides so choose wisely
