I have the M4 3/4 Exhaust and I love the look and the sound, plenty loud without the drone, it has a perfect grumble and makes me happy EVERY time I start the bike or twist the throttle!
Unless you're replacing the FULL exhaust I wouldn't bother with titanium as the headers are stainless steel, I would rather have an exhaust that matches and doesn't have a very distinct change halfway down the pipe, it will catch your eye and it probably will annoy you.

I had the M4 on my Fz-09. Was looking for something a bit louder, I actually ended up going with the Werkes exhaust. I had R1 headers to go on my Fz-10 but ended up returning them once I heard and saw the Werkes 3/4.

Awesome, I'll be looking forward to seeing them! Here you go bud. First time posting on this forum so hope I'm doing this right! Recently went down doing a low side and currently rebuilding my FZ's right side and found it to be a perfect opportunity to get new rearsets, exhaust etc etc. Anyways I already had the comp werkes in black along with the woodcraft rear sets, just as you have them set up! Everything except that silver stock bracket (seeing if a friend can laser cut me a one) is going to happen but I read that in a deep turn the werkes scrapes the ground. Being that I low sided I'v learned much better body positioning but still, any insight into this? Also have you had experience with the available baffle? Thanks!

Sorry about such a late response, I've been negligent on coming to the forum, I have a small scrape on the underside of my exhaust but I don't remember ever feeling it scrape. I ride pretty hard too and haven't had any complaints. As for the baffle. I've just left the exhaust how it came and it sounds amazing.

Unfortunately I decided to go with the 3/4 Akro, in the middle of a full rebuild on it so I'll see how it takes! Love your build tho! Actually since you have the woodcraft rearsets, I'm trying to figure out how everyone is installing their brake light switch with the oem bracket as instructed by Woodcraft themselves. The oem bracket is rubber mounted and thus moves (like alot) when mounted as per the instructions. Any insight you can give me?

sfbayrider! So It was a little cumbersome but essentially i took the OEM bracket and rebent it to be flush with the mounting surface behind the rearsets. Woodcraft has 2 mounting points and I used both. the higher point on the bracket went into the rubber mounted hole and I used the lower bolt location and a washer to tighten down against the bracket. So really I just have one actual bolt through the rubber mount and another wedging the mount down with a washer. So when I press down on the brake lever it pulls the mount down against that lower bolt. Still wiggles around a lil but solid enough to do the job. Then I adjusted the switch with the retaining ring to pop on and off at the right time with my brake. I highly recommend getting the woodcraft return spring for your rear master cylinder to ensure your lever pushes all the way back up and the switch is turned off. This way your Cruise still works!

FYI type post in case anyone is weighing their options. Decided to post it here instead of starting a new thread.
2018 MT-10; Scorpion decat mid-pipe and baffle removed from the muffler. I think it sounds wicked (and loud as hell) under hard acceleration shifting (w/quickshifter) near redline.
I personally think the stock muffler looks pretty decent as far as stock exhausts go. And since they are titanium, really not much weight savings in switching them to aftermarket.
