I'm strongly considering it now. I'm not seeing m(any) drawbacks (other than the cost).

seriously, you have a great setup, i don't how much you will gain but you surely will not lose anything, except for the hot custom look of that area p canister. back to brocks pipes i have heard the longer pipes may have more low end (street meg vs short meg)

It is my general understanding that the shorter pipe will move the power up top a little. I don't have a problem with that; it's probably preferable, actually.
I do have a use for the Area P on another bike, so it wouldn't go to waste.
I keep thinking about the 4-6 lbs. of weight savings. I figure 3-5 on the exhaust, depending on the exhaust/baffle configuration. And then I get to ditch the exhaust hanger as well.
If I can't afford it, I will just be happy with what I have. It is a nice setup, for sure.

I would spend / save the extra ~$$$ on a cataylst grudge tank, for drag racing and LSR events.
You will save more weight I would think, plus be better aero's.
JMO though.

Those parts look pretty nice. $1048 for the tank, $315 for a tail that will work with it. Ouch.
At least with the exhaust I can sell the M14 to recoup something. But still, food for thought...

I just ordered a Brocks exhaust today. I want to thank everyone for their input and information.

PS. Someone should definitely buy rACeRs exhaust! Brock told me today that they provide the same support for those who have picked up a used Brock's exhaust system.

I like the short meg. If I had to do it over again, I'd get the short meg with black ceramic coating.

Yes, it should. In fact, the guy who sent me the map had a timing advancer, which I don't have. So it would be pretty close. 
I'll let you know if I'm selling.
