Cheap ebay exhausts often have fitment issues.

You will lose backpressure and experience a loss of low end torque (but maybe gain a few peak HP).

If you are carbed, your carb will need to be tuned, or you can run too lean.

My advice: Throw some cycle shack slip ons on the bike. It will sound AMAZING and you will keep your backpressure. For $150 its worth every penny.

 

thats true, but then I will have to run the stock header with that cross pipe which I really dislike....what is that cross pipe for anyhow? is it even functional?

 

I believe its to allow pressure to flow between the pipes, which greatly increases their performance.

True duals are a poor design in my opinion.

But don't take my word for it:

Unless you are prioritizing looks over performance, I highly suggest a good 2-1 like the one from RB racing, or Supertrapp, etc.... Great tone and killer power.

 

thanks for the info!
