When I bought my RC390, I specifically asked for a brand new 2015 model, not a 2016 (even when I could get gone).
The reason for this was that I much preferred the 2015 underbody exhaust. Now I knew I would swap out the stock exhaust at some point anyways, and so I have been set on the Werkes exhaust for a while.
I have started getting second thoughts tho, as the Werkes exhaust albeit really nice looking might be a bit too loud compared to a sidemounted Arrow exhaust or the likes.
So here's the deal:
Does anyone know if the 2016 bellypan can be retrofitted to a 2015 model? The 2016 bellypan seems to be a separate fairing piece, even though it might not look like that in some pictures.
Or should I just go for the cup bellypan? I think I dig the sharper lines of the 2016 one more.
This is probably super-minor, but the 2016 bellypan also have ventilation holes in front like the stock 2015 bellypan, which I would assume helps cool the engine, compared to the cup bellypan which does not have these holes.

Feel free to chime in with personal opinion on looks as well.
