I really like this exhaust. This exhaust is not but a few decibels louder than stock, but it has a deeper sound. It looks nice and install is easy. This exhaust will RETAIN the muffler chamber underneath the motor, which I assume is why it has a quieter sound. I painted all the stainless parts a flat black & it turned out nice.

I just put it on my 09 ZX6R. I have only had it a couple of days but I love the sound of the slip on. I had an 03 636 with a devil pipe on it. I love the deep sound of the MGP. I haven’t gotten to hear it on the top end yet but can’t wait to hear it scream!!!

This exhaust rocks! I did plenty of research before buying this exhaust over some of the other big name brand ones but I must say, this thing blew my expectations right out of the water! It sounds amazing, it's ridiculously loud, it looks great, and adds some noticeable top end pull (very important on a 250 lol). I rode it to school and one of my teachers who has a Kawasaki zx14 with dual muzzy pipes said it was louder than his bike! My cousin has the carbon fiber HMF slip for his 250 and its quite a bit louder than that. The HMF has a nice smooth loud sound, the growler sounds like a pure race bike. Seriously, if you want the loudest slip for your bike, this is IT!! and it’s one of the most affordable! Doesn't get much better than that people. 5 Stars from me the whole way.

I bought this pipe and a link pipe to replace the pre-muffler and muffler. Sounded good by itself, much louder with the pre-muffler removed. Installation took about an hour and the bike sounds killer!

R6 Rider - August 31, 2011(Auburn, WA)

Easy to install, made a huge difference in the HP and really opened up the bike up compared to the stock pipe which only provided maybe an inch diameter of air flow... Great sound. I would recommend this slip-on to anyone that's looking to upgrade from a stock system.

Aside from the low-end power loss on my 2010 ZX6R, the product works as advertised. The fit and finish is top-notch. I loved how they included stickers in the box, but not on the muffler itself.

I bought this one and at first and installed on my 2009 Ninja 250R, I couldn't bear how loud it was; the difference after and before was abysmal. I guess it was because my age (37) so I tried to sell it, but after a couple of weeks driving work from home I feel pretty happy with it. The installation was really quick, less than 20 minutes and I agree that the main bolt should be a little longer for the Ninja 250R.

just got this product 3 days ahead of schedule, can't beat motorcycle-superstore shipping. weighs so much less than stock. the sound is phenomenal, it is a very deep gargling at idle-4k and after that it sounds very aggressive and gets progressively higher in pitch. this is the best exhaust for the money. the bolt for the hanger could be longer. its snug but it does the job. i highly recommend this product for anyone wanting a better look/sound out of their 250r.

Nice exhaust for the money. I purchased this exhaust for my Ninja 250 along with a K&N filter and stage 2 jet kit. If you are looking for sound...look no further. This exhaust is LOUD. I parked my bike next to my girlfriends car, gave it full throttle and it set off her alarm. Very easy install...no instructions required. I noticed a slight power loss at low RPM's and slight gain at the mid range. It looks very nice and I have already received several compliments. I would recommend getting your bike jetted after install as it seems to run lean.

The product is great, after reading many reviews for different exhaust systems. I a glad I made the choice to buy this exhaust, going from the stock 2008 ninja 250r exhaust to this one... was night and day comparison. the install only took 10 mins, unable to install bracket because one bolt was too short. overall its great! Thanks M.Superstore! Ride On!

Well its already been said and this just backs it up. Its a quality pipe and the install takes 15 minutes if you take your time. No more lawnmower sound for your 250 because this pipe is loud. Youtube videos don't do it justice, close, but in person its almost too loud. MGP logo sticker is optional. There is very little back pressure and a slight performance difference.

I was a little apprehensive to buy this exhaust because it was so cheap. But I did and I'm very happy with my purchase. Install took about 15min. The sound is excellent - a little on the loud side but that’s what its for. It is very deep tone. Has a great growl to it.

I'm looking for a more deep sound rather than the whole LOUD factor. It was super easy to install and if I was in the market for just a loud and annoying exhaust I'd be happy but I was looking for a true deep sound. Something to make my 250R not sound like a lawn mower when it's stock. HAHA! But seriously, can't beat the price tho!

Got this for my 250r if you want a loud bike that sounds mean rolling through the streets then get this slip on. Install took a little longer than expected. But you cannot complain. the sound you get from this for the price it sales for is A+!! I also ordered this slip on monday and it was at my front door wed. Excellent shipping thanks to motorcycle superstore!!! I highly recommend this slip for the kawasaki 250r!

Was hesitant to purchase after a ton of research but real glad I did. Gave the bike some jump due to the removal of butterfly valves on the stock pipe. Really sounds great under acceleration. Not annoying while cruising thru my neighborhood. Youtube doesn't do it justice. Favorite aspect is the sound that comes out when I blip it down a gear. Heavenly! Don't think twice about this for your Ninja!

Cannot say enough about this slip on. Fits great, looks great, and I've never heard a 250 sound like this. At just idle it makes a very deep rumble sound that can't be matched. 4 for the install cuz it comes with no instructions and 3 for performance cuz I'ved noticed no differences.

Love this exhaust! i have an '09 Ninja 250. This exhaust is Load as Hell! Ear plugs are a must! I rated a little lower on install and performance... Cause it takes a little elbow grease and some wiggling to get everything lined up and bolted on. And performance... because i got 95% of my gains from k&n filter and Jet Kit.

Ive gotten noise tickets before so I had to take it off. I think it can be modified though. if you don’t live in town or have noise restrictions... Get it

So far I am very pleased. Install was less than 20 minutes and it fit-up great. Quality is pretty good the only thing that's a little lame is the black bracket. The paint chips off pretty easy and peeled a bit when I tightened the bolt to the rear peg. Should be anodized rather than painted. Sound is great and I love it. Friends tell me that while riding it is actually quieter than the stock can which surprises me. Performance? What performance? Its a slip-on; don't expect to add any power.

Overall, not a bad slip on. Well worth the $$$. Sound's great and the short MotoGP style looks good. The only downside I would point out is that the bracket that goes over the can doesn't fit very well around it. It could be smaller for a better fit. When it is at an idle, you can hear the can vibrating against the bracket. The plan was to get this "cheap" pipe while i can save up more $$$ and get a full system. I still plan to do so, but this one will work for a while.

I really like how it looks over other exhaust. I wasn't too happy on how the mid pipe fastens to the muffler, with just a spring on hooks. I also how loud it is and the deep growl it has. I would recommend it as a cheap slip-on if you don't want to spend a whole bunch of money at the moment like me. I would recommend a programmer to get the best gains out of the bike though.

Needs to come with a longer bolt for the Ninja 250 install and some instructions but overall we are well pleased! Very loud and seems to be made well for a decent price. Fast shipping and great company to deal with. A little loss on the low end but the mid to high end is much better. Just have to stay out of the throttle in your neighborhood!

Good pipe! glad I did not spend my money on the name brands. the pipe is a little loud but if you don’t want it loud then why are you putting a pipe on. I did not notice anything on the performance side. The pipe makes my bike idle a little rough but when it warms up it is back to normal.
