I looked at, and listened to every slip on exhaust system for the '26 CB 750 on YouTube. The factory exhaust note wasn't terrible, but it had an annoying mid-frequency mechanical sound that was kind of like a valve train sound. I tried removing the DB killer as it's easily taken out via three bolts. It just made it louder without any improvement. I decided on the Akropovic Carbon/Titanium exhaust. I couldn't be happier! It's actually a few DBs quieter at idle and has a lower tone while completely eliminating the sounds I disliked. On the highway I can actually hear my Bluetooth system in my helmet at less than full volume. But when I crack the throttle the Akropovic growls to life with a very satisfying roar. Bill's Exhaust was a pleasure to buy from. I got a great deal and the Akropovic arrived only 3 days after ordering it from Miami to Maryland. It was not the least expensive slip-on available. But I have no regrets about the cost after installing it. It made me love the CB750 Hornet even more!
