All the more reason to keep the exhaust stock on my MT-10.
Hey, that cap looks great. The ugly stock cap was the main reason I decided to ditch the stock can. My Graves slip-on still looks and sounds much better IMO, but for those not being able to afford or justify close to 500 bucks for a freaking can, it's an awesome alternative. You should post where you bought it, to help other forum members  . |

That carbon fiber cap and heel guard look good, they certainly tart up the stock can. Unfortunately you are still left with a somewhat wimpy sounding stock exhaust.  It almost looks like the Yoshimura slip-on sans logo. But the Yoshimura has a much deeper tone.  |

But since it's riveted in place, no option to remove it, unfortunately. That was the main reason I chose the Graves. And it sounds super deep and refined too. |

Logos don't bother me. I have the Yoshimura fender eliminator, slip-on and oil filler cap and they all have the Yosh logo. The ASV levers have their initials on them, and the SW-Motech frame sliders are branded, too. And my R&G bar end caps are branded as well. I appreciate your desire to keep things logo free, but it doesn't bother most people. If the part functions as I want the logo isn't an issue unless it's pink or purple or has sparkles on it.

Yeah, I know you don't care about logos; was just busting your chops. Ha ha. And yes, I know I'm in the minority not wanting logos, but they don't stop me from buying the better product; just prefer them without. The Graves was the best slip-on for me, and was going to get it either way, but glad I could remove the ugly thing. Ha ha. The Evotech peg plates just flipped them. The Pazzo levers just had it on one, and inside, so blacked it out and it's almost invisible. The Shogun sliders are the best IMO, and have no logos, so an added bonus too. I don't get paid to advertise their crap, so not going to make my bike ugly by choice. Ha ha. I still recommend what deserves to get recommended; logos or not. And that's my last word . Have a great weekend everybody. |

Is it just me or does it look like your heel will hit that Austin racing can? Just got mine the other day. And it’s very cold in R.I. Managed to get 17 miles on it Tuesday though. Had to take it out but my heel was hitting stock exhaust a little bit. Obviously I have very short time on the bike so far. Seemed like could be annoying though. Anyone have this issue?

I just saw a couple of pics on Instagram with this Graves R1 exhaust on a MT 10 SP. I want it badly!    Those headers are what I want. My Stock Ti R1 headers don't even look like Ti. |

They haven't colored like the pics above? I would think that true titanium should discolour after a couple of heat cycles?

I may stick a torch to them and see if I can get some color. Id just go for a ride, get the bike nice and warm and cruise along in a low gear at high RPM and see if they change color. I wouldn't be surprised if stock Yammy headers are a different grade of Ti that doesn't discolor as easily (or at all) vs aftermarket manufacturers grade Ti. |

I've done the low gear high rpm cruising...didn't work. I can't complain much for a little over $200. |

I bet they are a heap lighter than the stock headers also |

If you want to get the pretty rainbow colors on your titanium exhaust, a few hard dyno pulls will should do the trick nicely. Low speed street cruising won't do it.

I think the incoming air over the pipes keeps the temps down. I have also had my fan's temp set to come one at 205°. I never thought of that till just now, that may have something to do with it. |
