I need you help please.

If you are doing an accurate test, it will be best to install each option you listed, then ride say 50 miles to allow the computer to readjust and optimize settings.
Simply installing and immediately comparing will not be accurate regarding performance or exhaust sound. The computer needs time to adjust settings from idle to higher power.

Mr Martin,
I'm not running a cat delete (yet) but unless you do a dyno run on each, what would be the point other than sound? Feel of the pants? That's OK, but perhaps the sound influences that.

I think that without doing some modifications (freer intake and fuel management system) to bring each system to it's optimum capability, you're not getting the full story. Though you would be reporting what just the exhaust change might bring you (performance wise). Which, if I were going to guess, might be exactly what BLUEKNIGHT911 suggests.

My vote goes to the RLS cat delete (with the resonator) and stock exhaust. I am not a noise freak, so I put my money where my mouth is and I have that combo on my F3L. I like the smoother, throatier sound with no - or very little - increase in the noise level. BTW, before I bought from him, Ricky told me exactly what the resulting sound would be.

Kinda off-topic, but I wonder why Vance & Hines and Rinehart didn't get themselves involved in the Can-Am market. I've always liked the way their exhausts sound and look.

Supertrapp would be nice with the tuneable disc option as well.Akrapovic sound ok but you need to sell a goolie to pay for them!

Without Dyno numbers they’re just noise.

I believe sound is the point! HP will change minimally if at all. I like either the Lamonster or RLS with Aracpovic on YOUR bike...for me the RLS and stock is good.

Great point, I did like 1h of rYde to get to the place where each time it was shot.
so i think this is solved
but exactly, this is great note!

Hi buddy.
as it is super hard to trick the nanny, i cannot do the DYNO test. So if you watch my videos on YouTube you know I did 1/2 mile test acceleration from 3rd gear from low revs etc. still it is not a DYNO but that is the best I can do.
And yes, this is pure sound comparison.

You know how hard is to trick the NANY to do the DYNO test.?
Here in Slovakia, maybe in whole Europe, there is not a person that can do it.
just FYI
