Comparing my K4 with the K9 I find pretty much everything is better on the new bike apart from the induction noise under acceleration. I can't describe it as anything but "cheap" and it is now getting irritating.
Most of my bikes have had a new zorst added for a nice note but I kept the stock on the K4 as it just sounded mechanically sweet in OEM form. I expected the K9 to be similar but the pathetic growl from the front end over-rides the hum of a modern engine.
I'm not chasing responses on what new zorst to get as I have already have that sorted, just interested in if anyone else has noticed the intake sound to the point they would possibly post about it on a public busa forum :)
try factory pro billet velocity stacks.They definately sound better when fitted to a gen1.

It is the first time that I have heard anyone complain about the induction roar of a GEN II bike.
I found the stock noise to be quite appealing but the attraction of a bit of a deep growl soon replaced it.

It might pay to lift the tank & make sure the air filter is still attached to the throttle bodies or not leaking. they don't call then the flying carpet for nothing, something is not right

ByfordBlade try getting along to one of the Mocha / Latte Nights here in WA as there is normally a combination of Gen II's there with different systems on.
I have a full yoshi system on and also another couple of Busas with Yoshi Systems on just different cans. There is also one with two brothers slip on cans which sound very nice as well so come along and check them out and you should be able to make an informed decision from there..
