Hey guys, did some research on exhausts and i really fell in love with the artisan performance one for the x, problem is i cant seem to find it for sale anywhere. Anyone know where i could find it?

I hope you thinking about this one, which I will have a quick review for you


I don't think they make them anymore. Back in 2008 I bought one for my X GSR, Sounded good though, but I had serious clearance issues , it was designed too low and the exhaust scraped a lot. Also hanged to too low on the original hooks. I had to modify it ( cutting welding ) to make it flush nice. After that it was a nicer looking, and a good sounding exhaust though.
But I am not a fan of the single, and the remodeling exhausts

Here is how did looked like on my X back then. I sold it after 4 month, maybe even less.

after all modifications ( like we did add on high flow 100 cell Metallic Catliconverter) looked and flushed nicer, but still the rubber hangers are not really in place as you see here:




still hangs a bit too low for my taste:






So my personal opinion is based on my experience.
Takes a lot to make it ok. But never really will look ok.

Positive note, sounds real nice and a very light exhaust.

You buy it cheap of course, and spend money - time to make it acceptable looking, ending up not that cheap.

Conclusion , not worth the money. Buy something more expensive, which will look better, requires no modification, but sounds just as good.
Plenty of exhaust like that out there.

Yeah I'm having a tough time deciding between a single or dual outlet, but I think I'm going to end up going with the full ETS turbo back v2
