Oh yea ... well ... I dont see how the stock can be Fcuked any more than the factory did it.
I'd run a crunched can no problem.

But will the bike get better performance if you put a newer pipe on the older bike? I see the head pipes are the same size but the mid pipe into the muffler is bigger along with a bigger exit on the muffler.

Yes, 15 hp at the crank with a newer exhaust!!!!!!!

If you change to another exhaust you will increase flow which equals performance.  But that means you need more fuel which means a rejet.  When you rejet you might as well go for a lunchbox as well.  See how it cascades.

Bike has been jetted and has a K&N already. I think it had a pipe on it before he bought it.

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone know if the older one(and the new one) have a catalytic converter?  I was thinking that might be the reason for the fat part down there
