Thinking about getting the Dominator exhaust system. Interested in any experience with either muffler only or full system. Would appreciate any info.

I bought the Dominator Hi Rise slip on set up, but retained the headers and cat, for the time being. I've had Dom stuff before on a 1200 GSA, and 850 GSA.
Their engineering imo is superb, and fit is perfect on the Honda. The sound, with the DB killer, is deeper, reasonably loud, and sounds great. I've not tried it without the dbk.
For the TA from memory, they claim circa 2hp gain. A sound check on my phone does'nt do it justice, trust me on that. Think it was 10 working days supply from placing order. Check Dom website. Their delivery service using UPS was fast to NZ. Comms a little slow and brief, just the language barrier only and being busy i suspect. Their pricing is also very competitive to other brands.

Have a Dominator slip-on with the 10 Suzuuk Bandit FA currently and had their full system on a 20 KTM 890 Duke.
Nice sounding unit's. Quality stuff, great warranty and good price.
Tried to order one for the 24 TA, but someone in eastern Europe was trying to mess with my credit card.
Went with a GRP slip-on that I've had on previous bike's, good for the money like Dominator.
Can't go wrong with either IMO.

It is installed. No problems noted, perfect fit for header pipes and muffler. Muffler clears the Tusk pannier racks. Not sure yet if a heat shield will be needed to protect the soft bags. Currently no db- killer installed and it is loud. Test ride when the rain stops. I will get the ECU flashed ASAP. Oh, also mounted K&N air filter.

The Dominator full exhaust system and K&N air filter are installed, ECU was flashed to match.
The rain stopped today and I finally had a chance to take it out for a short ride. it Definitely pulls stronger, has good throttle response and doesn’t surge at low throttle positions. The sound is awesome.
However, it’s a bit too loud for me and I will likely install the optional DB killer.
Here is what I should have based on 2 Wheel Dyno Works Transalp Dyno runs.
