What I'd want is an exhaust that works on my stock vintage bike without rejetting.
Yea...and an honest politician.

Cost; sound; esthetics and ease of instaltion including; fit/finish; quality of materials. Also; reputation of manufacturer based on my own research.

Well, I really like the cannons on my bike and I didn't even consider customizing the exhausts on my EX250.
But, for the B-King, there are loads of videos on the web of different exhausts. Lots of people apparently buy the bike but hate the exhausts. My exhausts are huge - and very quiet.
A good quality video of the exhausts on YOUR bike, might help make the decision.
For the B-King, the exhausts I could change to - 4 into 4 - are very expensive and I don't see much of an advantage for a bike that already has phenomenal amounts of horsepower.
Good Luck on your search.

#5 Rode bike before and after the exhaust installation.
The experience I had with my exhaust came from back in 1984, when a friend bought my bike and upgraded the stock exhaust. He asked me to red-line it going up the hwy by our place. What a memory! I've had that same exhaust on two more bikes, including my current bike. It performs as advertised, it's adjustable and required minimal rejetting to get it setup the way I like it.

I have a pair of Yoshi's on this bike
I selected them cause they look the sh.it.....carbon fiber
And cause they are totally illegal sound wise by about 40-50 decibells, and have an awesome deep throaty V-8 type roar. ALso this particular pipe has removable baffles...this is most important.
So Look first then sound second removable baffles 3rd and price 4th
