Your going to get a lot of answers and may not be any better off. I started with the Hindle, great pipe nice low end power great sound but rattled apart too many times. I now have the Yoshimura R77 which so far is proving to be a better pipe. Comes with a removable baffle for different tones and performance...now you will still have to make the choice cause those are the only ones I know anything about...

I can only comment on the Yosh I just put on my RT but it's well built and sounds good. Have not tried it without baffle yet. Wife prefers quieter. We agree to disagree!
I leaned to the 2-Bros cut it was so cheap (like the HMF ) but saw on SL info on a site called 4wheelonline? I'm like wth. Site like that wouldn't carry bike parts but sure enough they have (or had) Yoshi 's for less than $300
Done deal and no problem with the site or the shipping.
Added also: there are a load of 2-bros ads out there on one particular part number that the ads indicate will fit my 2013 RT when their own 2-bros Web site shows it not to. Research the fit. Don't trust these ads (eBay or amazon)
I don't see any negatives by freeing up the exhaust but I suspect that just a muffler ain't gonna do much with that 'mouse-maze' of a cat still under my RT. It's on the short list to be deleted!
Does anyone out there make a after market muffler for the 2014 RT? Not found one yet.

Lamont put a tail gunner exhaust on his custom F3, so you could contact tail gunner exhaust to ask about a pipe for a 2014 RT. Non are listed on their web site here is the link http://tailgunnerexhaust.com/?page_id=2144

I have a Hindle, the rattles comes from the heat shield which is rivited, I too got pissed off with the rattle, I simply drilled the rivets out and voila no more heat shield or rattle, the Hindle now sounds like a real motorbike with cohonnes.
Sadly the others will also rattle loose. I taped the holes and replaced them with bolts 5mm then those went and moved up to 6mm then gave up. Got to looking like a tailgunner the way the casing would twist and turn... aluminum is too soft stick with the pop rivits (stainless)

I have the dreaded 2013 RTL and I am also looking for a different sound. Any suggestions????? I love my RTL. It saved my life a couple of weeks ago, but that's another story after the insurance companies are done.
