hashiru by polo exhaust

Now after riding my xt660r for a few weeks completely standard, I removed the airfilterbox snorkel and the bike rides more smootly.
The only thing I want so badly is a good exhaust on it because it is just to quiet for me.

Someone in my neighbourhood is selling a hashiru by polo exhaust for a xt660, but is this any good (sound, quality, does they have db-killers?)

Or the other possibility is that I can buy leovince x3 cans (from a ktm smc625, I think those are the same as for the xt660) and than buy laser pipes (from a xt660x) to connect the cans with the header pipes.
Why this combination? Well I do like the option with the leovince x3 cans that I can choose which db-killer suits me best.

Yes the second option is a little bit diy but I think it is good doable, what do you think is the best option?
Bare in mind I choose for seconds hand exhaust just because I dont have the money to spend on a new exhaust.


ps. sorry for my english, I'm not used to writing in english.

In my experience Leo Vince make excellent quality products and they fit great!!! I fitted just the 2 end cans so I have no idea about the laser pipes sorry.

yes I know thats why this is one of the options. But I'm curious if someone has any experience with the hashiru exhaust.
Because for me that is the cheapest solution and it comes with the connection pipes so I don't have to do any modifications to it.
But the only real wory I have is that it doesn't come with any db-killer so I can't change the sound if it is necessary.

In 8 years of owning an XT660 I have never heard of the make,if it's all about money wait till you can afford a known pipe it will save lots of hassle in the long run because the like of Arrow/Leo Vinci/Akra are known quantities.

I know it is an exhaust that is made in germany I think. The person that has the exhaust bought it in germany and lives in belgium.
And you are right! but there is a huge difference in price, I can buy the hashiru exhaust for 180euro and a new exhaust cost 600euro. For that price difference I rater invest in more important things in life.
Unfortunately here in belgium they don't sell good brand exhaust for the xt660 secondhand.

Well personally I would only purchase an exhaust new. Cos that way you can return it if there are problems and it comes with all of the fitting kit plus instructions. I have bought Leo Vince for my XT660 (twice, two bikes) and found them excellent, and also for my XJR1300. A full kit OR just rear cans are sure to fit. If instead you wanna try and put together 2 different manufacturers bits then who knows what may happen......good luck!!!
