I picked up mine from Bayside Performance For $792 USD. They are mail order but also have a storefront that I pickup from in Vancouver, Canada. Great group of guys that work there and I've always had good service.

It adds 27 hp, or at least you'll ride it like it did
The durability of the damping material depends on the type of motorcycle, riding style, mileage etc. Normally, single and twin cylinder engines produce a stronger exhaust gases wave pulse and a higher temperature. Often, riding on a race track requires noise control.
The insulating material should be replaced when you notice any visual changes on the muffler sleeve material or when the muffler exceeds the noise limit. Please check the muffler visually before every season. In principle the damping wool should be replaced every 2 years.
This is the general FAQ though and I'm not sure if it's the same for the titanium models such as the R1200R's.
