Anyone familiar with them at all? I am going to purchase pipes for my bike soon (RC51) and www.denniskirk.com has all the ART pipes on closeout but I have never heard anything positive or negative about them, I would like to buy a proven performer but the prices on pipes for this bike are through the roof. I'm sure they will sound good, but I dont want to lose performance and I dont want to waste money on pipes that dont fit right.

Insert feedback here:

I havent heard of them before, and ive tried finding some info on them and cant come up with squat. I will say that i highly doubt you will lose any performance because from what i understand, anything will be better than the stock fart cans (there are some exceptions).

Ill keep looking around for more info. You might want to see if there is a sight dedication to RCV1000's, they could probably give you all the info you need.

If you could wait a few days, I can put you in contact with someone locally (Mike) who knows ALOT about RC51's. He owns two and races one of them. He is @ VIR today and tomorrow.

This is thier homepage:

RC51.org talks about exhaust in thier FAQ section but they havent tested then or anything.

never seen one or heard with anyone ever, so they either have horrible marketing skills or the pipes suck

always heard that sato slip-ons were the way to go on rc51's.

Art makes a decent dual exhaust for the 600RR. They're not too bad. I've heard carbon fiber Jardines on the RC51.........sweet.

I read through the whole (old 2002) exhaust opinion review done by the owner of rc51.org and in order best to good the exhuast list goes:


Sato
Moriwaki's
Yoshimura
LeoVince (he hasnt tested but has heard great things about, so it gets lower rank)
Erion
Jardine


I wont be buying any carbon fiber or titanium exhaust most likely, $1000+ is just too damn much, plus I need to spend another $250-$300 on a power commander.

I would like to be at or around $800 for exhaust and PCIII
