I do agree! I have a CB500X 2019 and its voice is ok - from the driving seat definitely. Respectively I like it very much and I do respect Honda's engineer to have taste at moderated loud.
I think the main advantage of this exhaust is that it gives you more space behind the foot peg. The stock exhaust is so close that it can get in the way if you're riding standing up. The 2 extra hp and reduced weight are just nice bonuses. I have to say though that personally I prefer the sound and look of the stock exhaust.
@@tuntitommosille Installing aftermarket lowered/wider foot pegs is the reason my heel hit the stock exhaust, especially when standing up. The solution? The scorpion exhaust! Pricey, oh ya, very. I wouldn't have spent all that money for 1 extra hp and a throatier sound. I kind of liked the stock sound better, but am not complaining.
