I like the Microns I have, but I haven't been able to compare them to other exhausts other than some carbon exhaust on a bike I almost bought first. I preferred the Microns, but that wasn't the deciding factor. We should get a couple groups together and try to have an un-biased vote.

1. Jardine - Like the look fo the high-mount and sound good
2. Yosh Carbon Fiber - Had these, like them well enough, but low mount and pretty quite....almost like stock. But they were light
3. D&D - Loud and obnoxious - not a fan.....
But then again, just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions......

Bang for the buck I vote Yosh. Just got a pair and love them. They come with a quiet insert that makes them a little deeper and just a bit louder than stock. But, if you leave it out it's an even deeper thump-thump and much louder. Two pipes for the price of one! About $500, give or take.

I just bought my hawk and it has brand new M4 titanium's on it. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about these? I tried to find some info but they seem to be made for the RC51 and not specifically for the Hawk. How will this affect engine performance? Will they do any damage to the engine? I have no idea if the air filter has been changed to a high flow or not. I'll have to check it.

I've got M4 pipes also and mine were made for a TL1000R...mine were from a full system and happened to be slip-ons rather than the stock Suzuki bolt-on type inlet...and they just happened to fit my existing Two Brothers mid pipes...$200 on ebay for carbon pipes was too good to pass up. No performance issues with mine...if anything, they may have a diferent size baffle than the SuperHawk specific pipes (if M4 even made them for the 'Hawk), but brand to brand that varies anyway.....
The M4 pipes not my favorite (I just got a great deal on them)....I'd have to say on looks alone the MIG pipes win (never heard them though...anyone have a sounclip?)...of the pipes I've heard, I like whatever these are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=272of6cyHiQ
I think they may be Laser HotCam pipes....anyone else have a guess??

Akravopic?.... Akrapovic. 
I always thought the point of aftermarket pipes was to increase performance. On my Hawk I have Jardine Ti Hi mounts. From a butt dyno perspective they seem to add a little BHP. Pretty sure I need to jet the carbs, she seems to be running rich.
And yes, they sound way cool....

Leo Vince, Open Header, and Old school Migs
Out of the 3 I have had, I love the Migs, the Leo's are a little quiet for me, even with the baffle removed. And the open headers are way too freakin loud, looked sweet on my streetfighter, but I am now running Migs on it, looks bad assed.

Admitedly a bit loud for some, ART cans from overseas cause lots of positive remarks regarding their V-Twin music.
Too bad no longer available.

Here are some pics of the insert from the Yosh. I think it's a good compromise. It has a much deeper tone than stock. Still has a little of the puff sound that stock has but way better when you get on the power. I'm still enjoying the louder, deeper tone without but eventually might go with the insert. Mine are SS, but as mentioned they come in Titanium and Carbon.
yeah those are the ones i have, baffles in. i might take out the baffles.. see the difference.

that is about what my bike sounds like..just in person it is all a little bit louder. his sound quality was not the best but it gives a decent impression of what they sound like on the hawk.
