Looking to add a mid pipe(decat) and the bike has an SP Engineering gp-r xtreme can.
Is the Leo Vince resonated mid pipe actually quieter than the non-resonated ones or are they about the same?
Someone must have tried both types.

I haven't had both but I do run an inline resonator with valve active and have tried a number of cans with this setup
Sound levels will fluctuate depending on the end can. For example I ran a short 60mm straight through can similar to the Delkevic and after a good ride I couldn't wait to get off the bike. My mate had a good laugh as he said all the sheep we passed were sent running for their mere lives :} It was far too loud and had drone around 5k rpm. I fitted the stock can and the noise is just right with no drone
So what did I take away from all this ??
1. The resonator on the midpipe can still be overbearingly loud depending on the end can 2. The shorter and larger diameter can will be noisier and lower pitched 3. The longer the end can the quieter 4. A smaller diameter can (eg 50mm) will be higher pitched with a crackle 5. If you want to scare all the livestock fit the loudest exhaust you can find

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll pass on the decat and just get it flashed for stock exhaust.

Hey dont let me put you off a decat, that wasn't my intention You can achieve some very good results from a decat at a sound level that you will be happy with I was merely trying to point out that the resonator can still be too loud dependant on the end can but you can also get good results aswell With the SP extreme you mentioned I think that may be very loud with even the Leovince. Short can large diameter outlet however the loevince and stock can I think you will be happy with From what I see on youtube you could get the same results with a straight through midpipe such as the Akra or the graves which I believe are acceptable sound levels and because they are developed for flow and sound give good dyno gain results

I don't like the look of the longer cans on this bike. This is the first bike I'm actually trying to get to look how I want. I'm usually a function over form person when it comes to bikes, but I want this one with a specific look. I think any decat pipe will be loud with the SP can and I really like how this can looks and sounds. Just a bit louder would be nice and I think the 2wdw flash for stock midpipe with exup open might be the ticket. I definitely don't want to be heard miles away. If I change my mind I can add it later anyway. Thanks again.

I have the Leo mid-pipe and it is noticeable more quiet compared to any straight through mid pipe such as akra or scorpion etc. but it is still, of course louder than stock. I think it sounds really really good. Eyeing a yoshi mid pipe next because it just flat out looks the best as it hugs the bottom of bike.

What can do you have with the Leo mid pipe? I was wanting to keep the stock end can and run a de-cat probably the Leo since it is resonated because I do not want a stupid loud bike. I have the 2wdw ecu flash and my exup is already disabled and removed so all I need to do is send my ecu back to 2wdw and they’ll reflash it for free.
So short story long how is the Leo midpipe with the stick can?

About perfect? What’s the less than perfect part? A bit too loud or raspy? What?

Just do it or don't
Edit: Sorry what a shitty reply I did
Its really quite a subjective topic on looks or sound what may be good for me might not be good for you
Have a look at the link and hope it helps a little

About perfect? What’s the less than perfect part? A bit too loud or raspy? What - So I have the YSeries Yoshimura end can on my Leo Vince mid pipe - It sounds great to me. I get compliments. It isn't too loud - open it up and its up there with regular decats minus a DB or two. At idle the Leo Vince is much quieter than a reg. decat. The sound with a Leo Vince decat and the factory end can is quieter than with my Yoshi slip on due to its length reducing more sound. It still sounded great but wasn't anything unbearable and was very very reasonable at idle. The leo mid pipe with the factory end can is one of the best looking combo's in my opinion. Color matching, flows well visually, the whole combo looks sorta oem-ish. In a good way.

That’s what I was looking to find out. Thank you! Looks like now I gotta order a Leo mid pipe and send my ecu back to 2wdw for a reflash lol

If you want a reasonable volume with an aftermarket 3/4 decat, look at the Graves EVR. It's not cheap (about $1300 or so) but well worth it. I have one on my R1.

I like the stock can and want to keep it. Plus with it being straight through there’s no point to me spending that kind of money if the cat box is also the thing that actually muffles the sound. I just don’t want to piss off everyone within three blocks when I come home from work at 3am

SP Engineering GP end can with Leo Vince. Loud as ass. Too loud. Lasted 14miles before it came off 😂. I found wiring open the EXUP gives me perfect volume and deep growly tone.

I was curious if that fit with the LV mid pipe.

Thanks for the pic. It looks nice, and different from all the others.

I’m so tempted to get the LV mid pipe but still on the fence. I kinda feel that my bike borders on loud already since I have my Exup valve safety wired permanently open for my 2wdw tune. Can anyone give me an objective percentage about how much louder the LV pipe makes the bike? Is it like 20% or 50% louder? I know that’ll be hard to rate without a db meter.
