Looking at different exhaust systems I really like the look of the Taylormade system but have not seen any real long term testing of their gen 3 for the 2015 rr . Has anyone done any real testing, most I have read is speculation.

Do Not Buy TaylorMade Exhaust! They break!

 

I've seen enough negative comments that it's not a system I'd install on my bike. But this is anecdotal evidence, so take it for what it's worth. The looks are pretty good, but the offset is, apparently, quality.

I'm sure you'll get plenty of input here.

 

Taylormade exhaust are all about appearance, in most cases they actually drop power but not that you would notice unless you dyno before & after. I like the clean look but there build quality is questionable.

 

They fit and tie into the lower fairing well , also look good. However they are loud and overpriced. Cant go wrong with akra full system.

 

Btw , they look cheap ( header and mid pipe). The carbon fiber heat shield is best part of the system. Just my .02 cent opinion.

 

Was looking into it and trying to avoid the reviews for a long time..but it always came back to more negatives than positives. Everyone said the power went down about 10-15hp with no tune over stock, and it can be tuned to produce more than stock..but you're throwing on a $1500 exhaust, $1000 tune...questionable exhaust life...you begin to forget how much you enjoy looking at it and start looking for alternatives.

 

If you really drop 10-15hp without a tune (which I can believe after looking at one....), I'm not going to believe you can make that back with a tune. To me that shows a massive increase in backpressure, and you're not going to recover that, let alone get any gains, with a "tune".

 

Had a Taylor Made exhaust on a previous bike (2015 Triumph Daytona 675R) and as above, it looked amazing on the bike, sounded great (<3 that triple whistle) ... but no performance benefits in terms of power or torque. Weight saving was good, but you'd get the same weight reduction as well as power and torque increases with better exhausts.

 

I have no personal experience with the Taylormade system, but I have heard numerous negative comments about it so I would not get anywhere near one.
They do look great though!

 

Hi Guys,
The last 2 Motorcycles i had in the shop with a TM pipe had issues. The 2012 had the rivets breaking off and was very loose. The 2015 had burned the wire to the rear shock. I will agree, I do like the quality of the carbon, but that is it.

Taylormade= Garbage

 

Taylor made looks ugly as hell but hey... the numbers don't lie! Popular systems for the Jap bikes, particularly the R1.

 

I had a mate that had one on a fire blade and it only lasted a month on there, too loud and decreased the bottom end.

 

For those looking for an exhaust with a similar look, you guys should try the CS Racing exhaust. I had 3 so far after exploding my Taylor made.
I share the same opinion as most buyers: CS Racing Exhaust - Reviews

 

I just bought a 2011 bmw s1000rr with the Taylor made exhaust and it's absolutely garbage. First of all it rattled alot and then I was doing a pull on the highway and a rivet came out and opened the exhaust. It's definitely not a very good quality exhaust in my opinion.
