I put the header on using the OEM mufflers over the winter. We had some decent but windy weather yesterday so I got my first ride. I did Ivans in October and the bike has a front sprocket change.
Even after rain there was still a bit of salt on the roads so I was still pretty cautious which I think contributes to my review.
and the drum roll... I don't really notice anything. I didn't hardly notice the Ivans either though other than my little wheelies that I do more often.
So I think.. that I am not storming the throttle like I did on my gxxr. I think perhaps I hit about 8500-9500 rpm and I shift.. because it feels like I should. I think the power for the header probably comes in right around there so yeah.. not feeling it. Only did about 100 or so, so really not into it hard. Bike runs excellently as normal.
The volume of the bike is not much louder.. maybe a deeper more full sound.. not as mechanically suppressed. Going to wait until the new tires are on and bounce this thing off the limiter and review again. But at this point if you are sporty rider and not a recovering speed addict I bet you don't even need this.
I would still do it.. because that is what I do, I make things faster whether I can utilize it or not
