This is great news for anybody living outside of California, where the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has nearly killed the sales of all after market street bike exhaust systems (they may have killed all sales completely, I'm not sure). I have a Staintune exhaust on my 2002 Honda VFR800, and really like it. It's not obnoxiously loud, and the build quality is very high. Almost all of the newer sport bikes I see on the road today have their stock exhaust system still on them, not like just a few years ago where almost nobody ran the stock exhaust on their sport bike. I'm not one for increased government regulations, but I sure wish they would enforce their own rules and get those guys who ride those obnoxiously loud Harleys off the road - who must be purchasing their exhaust systems out-of-state, or on the black market.
