Small part, MASSIVE upgrade to my Ninja 500
Read nothing but great things with the LV Corsa. It checked off all the boxes for me: Reasonably priced, a brand with a good/dependable reputation, and pretty much nothing but good things from what people had to say online.
Installation was a breeze. I mean, it was so easy to the point where I had to check online to see if I missed anything or did something wrong. It look me maybe 30 minutes, 40 tops. For sure less than an hour.
Now the fun part: The sound. Wow, this thing is LOUD. If you want to be disliked by your neighbors, this is it right here. I try to keep my warm-ups in the morning no longer than a minute. I shift early and cruise out of the neighborhood at a speed that isn't too loud. The burbles and pops is such a blast. I love downshifting under bridges, tunnels, or in between buildings.
Second thing I liked was that it shaved off around 9 pounds (4 kg). The stock slip-on was a chunky boy. It really cleaned up the look of the bike and saved a decent amount of weight.
This was absolutely one of the best purchases I made for my Ninja 500. It upgraded the entire riding experience in every way possible. Maybe it's just in my head, but I felt like (as a new rider), I was able to rev match/downshift so much better after installing the slip on. I feel like the improved sound/feel helped me dial in the timing for rev matching.
