I don't work for them, just passing on a great deal $313 for a Leo Vince exhaust. Not sure how long. Received min on March 14 2023.

17-18 BMW R1200R/RS LeoVince Factory S Slip-On Exhaust Carbon Fiber - Bayside Performance

Never heard of Leo Vince slip-ons... Other than the massive improvement in esthetics, what does it do to the sound? I'm not looking for more noise, and even less for any sort or drone at highway speeds, but if it adds nice deep throaty growl without being more noisy, that might be very tempting.

I have one on my 2018 and it's great! This is an amazing deal! Comes with a db killer installed if you like it quiet, but is easily removable for a nice throaty growl. Decel pops/crackles are definitely present in Dynamic mode, but are significantly reduced in Road mode. I removed the db killer immediately after install, so I don't have any experience with it on other than at idle when I first fired it up after installation.

LeoVince is a pretty renown company in Italy, famous for their price/performance ratio compared to the other Italian companies like Giannelli, Arrow (talking 35 years ago with 2T engines). That particular model is going out of production, hence the discount; very good price if you can get one

Thanks. How noisy is it in comparison to stock, and how bad are the decel pops? Very tempted here, even if just for the look...
[edit:] Would it interfere with side cases (specifically, Shad)?

I don’t have it on yet but you can YouTube for some samples of what it sounds like. With the baffle in I think it is similar to stock, maybe a little deeper. With the baffle out, louder obviously with a few pops on deceleration. I bought it more for looks, a small volume increase is okay with me.

when I buying my Kawasaki Versys in 2012 I really wanted a LeoVince, but at the time they were going through some "changes" and the pipe I wanted wasn't available as they actually shut down. I got a Yoshi. they were known as very good exhaust back then, and seem to have rebuilt the company. if I was looking for a newer exhaust i would certainly consider them.

would this fit on a 2015 LC?
I see the listed '15-16 unit on their website is $1,090 and has different SKUs from the 17-18
What would be the difference, if any?

 

[Panzermann]

The only difference between 15-16 and 17-18 is the Euro compliance requirement (which affects aftermarket cans). Physical fit is the same, @CordobaCanuck.
