I have Staintunes on my 03 Speedy and I like them a lot. They aren't as common as some other brands, maybe because of price, but I think they are worth the money. I pulled mine off last winter and cleaned them up, and I was impressed that they didn't have a speck of corrosion on them after 3 seasons. They looked like new.

I run mine with the end reducers in. I've never had the reducers out while riding, but I've heard the sound isn't much louder.

Here's a picture of when I was doing my clean-up job. (After three seasons of riding!)
