I think it simply boils down to a load of cleverer people than us, spending years of research and development, and coming to a conclusion of the best workable exhaust for this particular bike!
Try typing that at 3am on Xmas day!!!
It wasn't easy, trust me!
MERRY XMAS PEOPLE, ENJOY YOUR DAY!!

Basically they wire the bike up to a rolling road machine, rev the nuts off it in every gear, then assess the results in graph form.
To the trained eye it speaks volumes about a bikes performance which can then be adjusted where necessary to get the best out of it.
Unless you have a problem you really can't fathom out then there's no real point in Dyno'ing a restricted bike, it's actually aimed more at performance/race bikes.
When I get my restrictors off I will take it. How much does it cost? Would it improve performance?

Unrestricting your bike will improve your performance Lewis, one step at a time fella......

Define shiny. My bike has stainless pipes. They're also covered in mud due to the overflowing ditch I need to ford whenever I leave the house. :rolleyes

I put stainless downpipes on my 600 fazer. They didn't have link pipes on the down tubes and I lost about 10% midrange.
Eventually i cleaned and repainted my old downpipes and refitted them. However if you get some stainless downppipes with link pipes then you should keep your performance.

Ive got a full stainless Delkevik system on mine, hasnt made any noticeable difference to power but it looks good and the noise is to die for, sounds amazing.
