    I wanted to get some feed back on weather or not I should go with a black exhaust,, from the header back or the unfinished steel color.

    I prefer chrome myself, but I am probably going to have to make the same decision on my 650 right now, as the headers are starting to rust.

    Are those Kerker slip-ons? Those are nice! I'd leave them alone.

    Unless the unfinished metal is really F**KED UP, don't paint it.

    I vote chrome, just wish it was not so hard to keep clean and shiny. It looks so much better. Black does not look bad on your bike, chrome would look better.

    Dude. I hate chrome. But I don't hold that standard to everybody. They both look ok, just different. It's not like your asking for the chrome or the pink pipes. Do YOU like chrome? Would you like more chrome? If so get chrome. I like flat colors, no shine, and easy maintenance. If you concur, go black.

    Or paint 'em pink. It's not my bike.

    It is a Kerker complete system. I had to replace the one side because of a dent and the only choice I had was the silver colored exhaust pipe material. He did a great job of shaping the pipe, it matches the stock curves almost exactly.
