Didn't buy one for either the PCX or Forza, no need to I never crashed.
Only valid reason for buying an aftermarket exhaust for a modern scooter is if the original gets damaged.

Hush your pretty mouth. I'm just starting threads to generate content. It's good for the forum, as it generates search traffic.

That's certainly why some people may choose to buy one.

Ive decided my SH 300 is going to be a keeper (really!!!) as hip/knee gets worse not better so the easy use (and fun ) of the SH suit me fine. I want to get it as good and enjoyfull as I can. So,, Ive ordered a Akrapovic can for it. Not a lot of extra power/torqe , but the sound is fantastic. Its not cheap, but you cant take it with you. ;) I ordered it from my main Honda dealer at the end of August :roll: still not turned up!! I'm sure they dont get many orders for the sh 300 , but 2 months and still waiting :roll:
Ive just got to wait as some other aftermarket cans can actually give a power loss when fitted with the stock cat, the Akra gain is 2 lb of torque and just under 1 bhp. Also Honda will only accept Akra as an accessory that doesnt void any warranty claims, so Ive got to be patient and wait in vein for the phone call to say its arrived. :P

I'd buy an aftermarket exhaust so that I wouldn't be mistaken for GN2 :D

It depends on what you mean by valid, a deep exhaust note really improves my ride enjoyment.
