remus powercone slip-on exhaust

Ok here's one way to think of it which may help you justify it (I use this reasoning with my wife when I want to purchase a used motorcycle). A particular product be it motorcycle or slip on muffler only costs you the DIFFERENCE of what you PAY for it, and what you SELL it for. For example I bought my last used Yamaha FZ-1 for $3000. I rode it a couple of years, and sold it for $2850. So owning that FZ-1 only cost me $150. My wife could live with that.

Now, lets say you want a Staintune slip on for your CB 1100 and it's $700. You buy it, run it for a couple years, and when you are ready to sell the bike, you remove the Staintune and sell it to someone on the forum for $350 (the going rate of used stuff online is approx 50% of new price). So in effect the pipe only cost you $350 which is a very reasonable price for a slip on.

Of course this only works if you are buying motorcycles used or selling your CB 1100 eventually.
