Is tier 1 worth the price?

I recently purchased an M&P Carry Comp (stream light tlr7-hlx, and a holosun 507c added)
and currently use a Crucial Concealment holster that indexes off my TLR-7 HL-X. It works fine, but it’s a little bulky and doesn’t support a sidecar
I’ve heard a lot of great things about Tier 1 Concealed, but it’s also noticeably more expensive than competitors like Tenicor, Henry Holsters, and Vedder. Most of the time, I wear jeans with a belt when I’m out, so DCC clips would work well. However, I live in Texas and also wear gym shorts or other clothing without belt loops fairly often, so the option to use UltiClips with a Tier 1 holster is appealing.
For someone in my situation, is Tier 1 actually worth the extra cost over those other brands?

2025 765rs exhaust

Trying to decide on an exhaust for my Triumph Street Triple 765RS and I’m stuck between Leo Vince, Arrow, SC Project, and Austin Racing. I want something louder and more aggressive than stock w, but I don’t want to go so loud that it becomes annoying or fatiguing for riding.
I don’t daily my bike and don’t typically go on long cruises. Maybe 45 minutes to an hour of highway commutes occasionally. Otherwise it weekend fun. Leo Vince seems safe but maybe too mild, Arrow feels like the best middle ground but I’m not sure if it’ll be enough long term, SC Project sounds great but might be getting too loud, and Austin Racing is the one I like most for sound but I’m worried it’s too extreme and I’ll regret it after daily use. Looking for real-world experiences on what people chose and whether they regretted going too loud or wished they went louder.
Can’t decide if Austin racing slip on would be way too loud and if I’ll regret it. But it’s also significantly cheaper than everything else on this list.
