    A 2 or 2.25" stainless mandrel bent system is ideal. With a res and mufflers to your preference. Ideally as higher flowing as possible. Be aware thought the 2.25" system will be very loud, the 2" not quite as loud but still very loud.

    I'm pretty sure that mine is a 2.25" system (definitly bigger than a 2", but have never measured it) and IMO sounds awesome!

    It is loud, but it's not anoying and doesn't sound tinny at all...

    I've got a 2.5" system on mine which falls in the "stupidly loud" category. If I was doing it again I'd go with 2.25".

    i have a 2" mild steel press-bent system. It works well for me, and is loud and throaty without being "stupidly" loud.

    2.25 inch on mine, Coby resonator and cheap factory type rear muffler. Sounds pretty good on my KE70.

    2.25 with two Berkly straight through mufflers, flowss good without the "fully sick" sound sound you either love or hate.
    Getting your missus to help bleed the brakes isn't everybody's idea of quality time.
