Jardine - black vs Ti. Is it worth the money?

I am not sure if I want the Ti, but is it that much lighter than the black round ones to warrant the $300 price difference. I could buy a K&N, jet kit and probably a clear alternatives tailight for the price diff...

I assume performance is the same with the race baffle setup?

I am 90% set on the Jardines from what I am reading, the 10% goes to the 2Bros system.

Agh, this stuff is confusing for a noob!

Go with the black and get the other stuff and be happy. You wouldn't notice the extra preformance the $300 will buy you if there is any! The bike will make around a 100hp +or- 5.

I have the round black Jardine's and like them and know a number of people that run them with no leak problems as stated in the other post.... I had a set of 2 Bros carbon fiber standard mount and when I changed over to the Jardine's the bikes bottom and mid-range power improved without hurting the top.

+1

Almost exact same experience here - switched from 2bros CF low mounts to the black high mount jardines, look better, sound better, and seat-of-pants dyno, make more power. Absolutely no leak problems.

IMHO, yes.

Deeper, raspier, meaner. Of course, sound is all subjective, 2 bros might sound better to others here, so....
