Well, I can tell you the 4 -2 on my Z sounds awesome, better than I thought they would. They sound really good almost like a full system, as far as performance, thry are the Team Honda exhaust sponsor, so they must perform pretty good. It's hard for me to compare, since they were on the bike when I bought it. The quality of the carbon cans is top notch, but the stainless tube needs further cleaning up, some fine polishing.
I dont think you'll be disappointed with them, unless you really want the 4-2-1, which I may go to in the future.

I don't have Jardine on my Z, but I had one on my old KLR and I have one right now on my RC51 and they fit and sound great! I used to know where there was a video on YouTube of a Z with Jardines, but I don't remember where it is

But I agree, I don't think you'd be disappointed with them.

If you're talkin about the ones on ebay, it says "race cans" so they're gonna be loud.

They are sort of loud, you can also purchase a noise suppresor gizmo that bolts in the exhaust can exit to quieten them up a bit, right from Jardine. But who needs those!

I got some rt1's from eBay. Wow! They sound and look great! They are loud and rumbly! Mine are carbon fiber.

I have no regrets about buying them.

Ran the GP1 on my 06 R6 with a cat delete.

Closest to real F1 car sound I've ever heard on the street.
