Yes, a big benefit of changing the OEM exhaust system. It will also run cooler.

Added Tsugiki pipe, thanks for the bargain Wheelie
It sounds sweet, and fit is perfect,

Wheelie all here and on the bike

Bently hopefully I'll get a chance to test it Friday night
before I leave for the Tx shootout finals on Sat.

If the clutch gets here by tomorrow, pulled the cover to inspect it, 3000mi.
Measures under 53mm which is out of spec, it is not fryed by anymeans.
But with the added power from the pipe, I'm sure it will start to slip when I need it most.

Halvefast .. I just installed a sqeegee pipe too !!!

what a nice peice .. no pc ( coming in the morning tomorrow .. ) and holy crap !!!

Was doing a roll-on from 1st with my busa-buddy ( we all should have one lol ) and normally we are neck and neck ( he's piped and pc'd and I was stock ( and now with just a pipe fitted, I got to something aver 7 or 8k rpm and the front started to lift like a wing was catching air .. thoughts of jetboats going airborn causedd me to let off till I got my head around catching a speeding bullet ..

Wow .. in about 12 hours I'll have a pc and a good map .. realdy for my dyno time .. 16t coming and first tire rotqation tomorrow too ..

ain't this fun ?

oh ya .. this is the nicest modded sound I have ever heard .. still sounds like my ol 14 .. buy after puperty .. nice
