pros and conso of highmounts vs lowmount exhausts

[chrisscaines]

I didn't get any hits on the other thread, so I thought I would redo the title. I'm very close to getting an exhaust but I'm still torn between high or low mounts. Asthetically, I like the high mounts: makes the bike's profile sleeker, etc. Seems I've only seen the low mounts. Any reason for this? Any help with my $1000 triggerpulling painful decision would help out.

Get high mounts for sure. They look bad ass! Only thing is you have to delete your rear passenger pegs. Look at Arrow!

The Leo Vince highmounts keeps the passenger pegs. To be honest, I have only ridden two-up once, and that was to bring a friend to the moto shop to pick up his bike. I don't care about rears, really. Are the Arrows street legal? I ride in Malibu sometimes and the cops will hit you with a ticket for aftermarket pipes. San Diego is not bad at all plus the Harleys take the heat off the sportbikers. Arrows were on my short list. I will go to their site again. I have not seen a picture of a 2007 Tuono with the Arrows. Send one if you have one.

I sent Arrow an email if they have high-mounts. I don't think I have ever gotten an email back from a manufacturer.
