Had my TRX for 10 years now and want to replace the exhaust (Standard) Does anyone have any pointers on what i should get...

What are you replacing exactly?
The front pipes/headers are stainless steel, last the life of the bike!
If you`re just talking about cans then there`s possibly twenty or more manufacturers of cans, do you want legal or non legal?
The race cans really don`t vary much in terms of increasing the bikes performance, depending on the bore of course.Stainless, carbon, titanium or mixtures of those, you can take your pick really.
Akrapovic don`t make the 2 into 1 system anymore but you can get 2nd hand systems now and again, same as the Over systems.Although there are new Over systems available for around 1000 Euro`s.
There`s another system available made by MAB, I think Killerwhale`s got one of those and from memory they are about 1200 Euro`s.
Then there`s members who have made their own variations too, Kayla has made a 2 into 1 by having the stock headers modified and there`s also at least one member with an under engine short system, another with a 2 into 2 system down one side of the bike too.
I`m sure other members will add their thoughts to your request, once you`ve clarified exactly what you`re after.

I have some wolf cans which have DB killers fitted and still make 96Db on a noise test. I think they are based down near Milton keynes and you can still get spares. They arent stamped
"not for road use" either. IO guess its mostly down to budget and what is available secondhand at the time.
Main thing for me is they are considerably lighter than standard cans and make a much better noise. Handy for filtering as people can hear you coming.

If you can get a pair of link pipes to suit the bike, any generic 50mm bore can will fit. You won't get much extra power but you will lose about 6kg from the back of the bike and get a lot more noise (which is nice)

It cost me £70 to have the headers on my bike modified into a 2-1 by a local exhaust specialist and it works fine, and is a lot lighter than the standard system

There are some on ebay, try 300447048645
titanium Quill cans? at worksop notts?

EDIT sorry didnt notice the price £200 ouch!

cans = nice noise and weight loss (with minimal power gain)

full system = nice noise, weight loss and more power

I put Art cans on my TRX - anodised gold, which almost matches the rear suspension adjuster bottle. On their own, they sounded too loud, so I put in baffles. They're still pretty loud, and I may baffle them a tad more; although the bike got thru the MoT test with the baffled cans. (I always wear earplugs; if I don't the noise is bothersome). But these cans are very much lighter (less than half the weight of the originals), and it seems that the motor revs slightly more freely. I got them second-hand on eBay (and sold the originals on to a happy buyer) so there was no dent in the wallet.
