Hi All [coffee]
I´m looking for some slip-ons for my M696 and the options are:
Classic Termis ;D

I like the Termis but... Zard and Arrow and Akrapovic are [thumbsup]
So, I need some advise from you all about sound/quality.
Thank´s
Paulo
And Leovince:

I like the looks of termis, but leovince is 3 times cheaper and they say that it sounds better than termis (the gp ones) :)
No Duc here but you can listen to different exhaust sounds in these two videos:

Hope this helps
For me, I'm always a fan of Akrapovic as I had one on my old bike ;D. Their exhaust releases a more refine deep melody. Plus the quality and the look it self is clean and professional. I get a lot of compliments on the look and sound of the thing.
Unfortunately, they haven't develop one for the 696 as I'm waiting for one to come out (cross my fingers) :-\
For comparison between Termignoni and Akrapovic on an 848:

Do any of the web sites you are looking at have dynos for the exhausts?
im holding out for boom tubes
Does anyone have more info about that stubby Laser exhaust system for the 696 in the M1100 thread?
I might be asking too much, but does anyone know of any comarisons between all of the exhaust offerings for the 696's? Weights, hp/torque changes? Especially since many of these seem to look very similar I was hoping to be able to make an educated choice on more than just price. Thank you.
