Hey everyone!

I recently picked up a new 2023 Yamaha R7 in all black. Ridden about 100 miles so far.

I would like to put an exhaust on the bike soon or in the future. I have been researching full systems and was curious if anyone has any experience with the quality/reliability of the KO lightning exhaust and if you needed a tune? It is a cheap eBay/amazon exhaust. I would like to buy a Yoshi R-77 in the future but I wanna research cheaper options for now. Any experience or advice would be appreciated!

Does come with a baffle but i also didn't put the baffle in, does come with though. Everything fits as should i just couldn't get the exhaust (slip-on) bracket to line up with anything on the back of the bike. That's about the only issue i have with it though other than the bike really drones when upto speed but sounds great and Loud when in lower RPMs. Also, smells like it runs really rich i can almost smell the gas lol. Still love the way it looks and sounds.
