Another Brocks Full System for a ZX14-R
I just placed the order. CT Single Full System 16" with a Power Commander V Street Map.
I've put full exhaust on many bikes in the past but had all but decided I was just going with a set of slip on's for this one. I could NOT get past the gorgeous looks of this pipe not to mention the power increase and weight loss. What I'm most hoping for is at minimum the same smooth power delivery across the entire rev band with that very rich sound. It's not like the bike NEEDED any power boost and it certainly hasn't had any motor work done to it. I just feel like this bike really demands a more robust exhaust system than the stock headers and cans. I'd love to hear from any CT users who've swapped out from stock.

I think you speak of the CT Smeg (Shorty.). Awesome pipe. Love it. I also have the PC-V w/Brock's street map. I just don't have it on, yet. You'll love it, though, I'm sure. Very nice. Looks, sounds, and runs great, even w/o the PC. Looking forward to getting the PC on and whatever other mods/ECU flash is deemed to be the best, final set-up.

Awesome pipe i just put it on last week.....WOW really changed the bike,with the weight lost and sound it pulls REALLY HARD thoughout now. I dynoed 185hp and 112 tq stock,put on this system a week later and pulled 198hp,and 116tq. I couldn't believe the diference in the new 14. You'll see.Oh i got the pc also........You'll love it i promise.

I've got CT Megaphone and it is Awesome. I can definitely notice power increase plus bike wheelies with ease when I get a hand full of throttle. I haven't received my PCV yet but a buddy of mine who got his said the power is smoother down low. I think you will like the new found performance gains.

Actually mine is the CT 16" muffler not the shorty. I really like the look of both but I had heard the shorty was quite a bit louder and given the choice I'll go a bit quieter, although I seriously doubt there is much db difference.

Thanks Jeff. It's pretty smooth down low with the stock headers and cans. Are you saying low end was a not as smooth with the CT's?
