Norge 8V - Exhaust Slip-on options (another muffler thread)

[Cool Runnings]

Looking at a TRIOVAL RACE GPR



What's your experience with slip-on exhaust systems?

My 2012 came with this Agostini on it.  Runs perfect with the stock map as far as I can tell (with the db killer in place). Sounds good too --  However, If I had bought the bike new, I'm not sure I would have changed the stock pipe --

The stock exhaust is styled nicely. It might be heavy but it does look as good as a single tube can.

The slip ons seem to look similar to each other. With the side bags in place the rear part of the exhaust is hard to see anyway. The finish of the stock exhaust is one thing that has a pretty good benefit, it looks clean even after days of riding.

Form a styling perspective, Moto Guzzi did an excellent job IMO. As for performance, with a good map what more could you want?
