Which exhaust should I get?

So I want to put an aftermarket exhaust on my c600. I don't expect any performance gains, but want something more aesthetically pleasing and that has a better exhaust note. The ones I am considering in no particular order are as follows:

Termignoni. I flip flop back and forth on if I like this exhaust or not. The thing I don't like about it is that it seems to interfere with the beauty of the single side arm of the rear tire.

GPR. I like because they are shorter and compliment the single side arm.

Ac Schnitzer. Looks similar to the stock one but fancier materials.

Akrapovic. I have an Akrapovic on my Vespsa and love it. It seems long and not sure if I like the lines of it on the c600.

I test drove the 600 with the Akrapovic. And then tested a 650 without. It definitely provides a more throaty exhaust note than the stock exhaust. And for sure, Akrapovic does make a model specifically for this bike - haven't seen any others. Sort of "BMW approved". The Akrapovic site does show a spec that indicates very modest performance gains. I also very much liked the look of it on the C series scooter in real life.
 
i have the akrapovic fitted to my C600 sport and love it, it fits properly, sounds good and looks great. i also had an akrapovic full race system fitted to my old Tmax and gave really good performance improvement. i recently fitted a GPR to a 1200 gs and it was awful, fitment was crude and it looked very cheap.
 
while I have an apoc on mine, most of the performance will be the same no matter which aftermarket unit you purchase. all are open with removable baffle, or look for one anyway.
Go with what you think will look good or what cost is the best for you.
 
I'm with Jamie on the exhaust, stock gives a fair note and is included with the bike. If your interested in jazzing up your riding experience, I say make sure you have an excellent armored and waterproof riding jacket, maybe add a Sena Bluetooth to your helmets (that makes 2 up riding so much more enjoyable) or possibly a set of HID headlights or a set of fog/driving lights. Luggage if touring is amongst your interests. Just a thought.

The stock exhaust isn't bad. Just want something that looks and sounds better. Just a way to customize the scoot. The only other mods I plan to make are the BMW emblem turn signals and dr. pulley sliders/HIT clutch.

Don't know if you have seen them. They look bad ass.

I don't find it particularlly loud. When I get home from work, sometimes late, the only creature that can hear me is our cat. And I park just outside our kitchen window. I find it to be pleasant and unobtrusive.

I really like those badges, not too sure about having them as side repaeters though.
