Hindle Exhaust or Fog Lights at the time of Spyder delivery? Which would you choose?

[IMRU3]

As my delivery time approaches next week, I am now considering possibly getting a Hindle Exhaust instead of Fog Lights. If I did this, the fog lights would probably be my next added option down the road. With everything else that I am getting in the beginning, I am not going to do both.

I have a few reasons for maybe going with the exhaust first. One: I think the added noise might help keep deer away. I have 20+ miles of road just going to work everyday that is 2 lane country road, much of which is wooded. This time of year, more and more deer are going to be out. The Hindle is, in my option, the best looking of the aftermarket pipes that I have seen. Sure! It looks aftermarket! But, it looks aftermarket in the same way Tubi exhausts look on a Ferrari. It looks like it's supposed to be there. The Hindle, at this time, seems to be the most toned down exhaust, as well. And, when I rode the Spyder demo at my dealer, I really liked the sound. And, I know any exhaust much louder, I would grow tired of. If I wanted to switch back to the stock pipe on occassion, that shouldn't be that big of a deal, either.

Does the Hindle really add the 4 claimed additional horsepower that they advertise? Not sure. Of course, it would make sense that it would add some.

So; Hindle or Fog lights, first? What would you do?

I got my fog lights along with other accessories at the time I picked up my Spyder as the dealer installed it for me. Saves you the trouble and time than doing it on your own. Luckily, my dealer installed all my accessories at no extra charge. If I were given a choice between the fog lights versus the Hindle, I would definitely choose the fog lights for visibility related to safety matters. The Hindle exhaust can be installed with lesser complication, less time and effort. Your reaction time in avoiding a deer if you see it at a distance would be faster than hoping to scare a deer away coming from the sound of a Hindle.
