Straight pipes/open headers

[Brookland27_imp]

Hey scout welcome to the forum. I owned a bonneville (thruxton) with predator pipes and pod filters. It really was a beautiful sounding bike the CB will never sound like that. That 360 degree parallel twin has a very unique soundtrack that is just very satisfying. So if a good sounding motorcycle is your only requisite i'd consider that. That said i have a 2 bros slip on and the bike sounds like an old sportscar revving out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV2N6bP33ck. It's not that loud and nowhere near as pleasant sounding as the bonne but it sure is fun to wind out. The CB is a flat out far better motorcycle than the bonne on all other accounts, and for the first time can be had for around the same price!. I just bought arrow headers for my bike and am waiting on gaskets to install because i'm one of the aforementioned loud and fast guys ! if the bike ends up sounding like this i'd be pretty satisfied https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l619DuIdaSk So you have to ask yourself do you want to sound fast or be fast (comparitively). For the latter refer to the Big honda I4.
REMEMBER YOUNG SKYWALKER LOUD PIPES DON"T ALWAYS SOUND GOOD AND GOOD SOUNDING PIPES DON"T HAVE TO BE LOUD.
