Just installed TBR pipes on my '08 Z...

And holy crap are they loud! I've had many bikes and many pipes... but I must say, these take the cake. I'm gonna have to start wearing earplugs on my 20-minute work commute.

Haha I'll let you come over and listen to the Jardine 2-1 on my RC51...the 2-Bros on the Z don't even come close!

I do like my 2-bros though, they sound great, nice deep rumble at idle and a raspy edge on the top end.

if you install the P1R tips, it will greatly reduce the rumbling in your helmet. It will quiet the exhaust down a bit but not much. But it's much more enjoyable for the rider.

I love my M-2's too. I wear earplugs but I always have. It just cuts out all of the wind noise. Which is bad for the hearing because white noise like that kills your ears.
