Baddest exhaust... Motocreations - Boomtubes

[c_rex]

If I was concerned about performance I wouldn't have gotten rid of my CBR. I just think these bikes we ride are crazy sexy. I want the Boomtubes because they are unique.

truer words were never spoken.  well- none that I'll repeat and would make any sense in the context of this discussion but you know what I mean

Best. Question. Ever.

Not really.  Obviously visual appeal counts for something, but if it was all about that, I'd have just bought a S2r 800 and called it a day.

Considering what the stock body weighs on my 999, the monster is a better "start" for an all around performer in the city.  I'm the weirdo who is having Mag triples made up to drop the weight more up front (and change the offset )

If I was concerned about high speed riding that much, I'd be more concerned with aero (not that bikes really have good aero to begin with), and I'd hop on my 999 and go.    I'm more concerned with acceleration.  Torque = acceleration, and therefore the results of a particular exhaust are important to me.

I'm not concerned with how they stack up against stock, I just would like to know what kind of power the bike makes on a dyno....and a before/after would be nice too.

Sorry if questioning a product has gotten people upset.

If the dyno results are out there, and the thing makes power, there is no reason not to post results.

Why do you think they will lose power? Over stock? No way. They "may" not make as much as some other exhausts, but with these engines, we are talking about very minute differences....

I'm not talking about killing performance on a stock bike.  I'm talking about reducing the performance from the bike that I've already realized with the termi's, dial'd cams, squish, etc...

Weight would be a good thing to publish as well on the pipes.  Obviously they drop weight off the stock exhaust, but how much? 

I don't really like the twin can exhaust on my bike visually, but it works in the function department.  Getting the exhaust to look better, dropping weight, and keeping the power I have would be a win-win.

THATS why I'm wanting to see the numbers.

The stock weight of the exhaust is about 24-25lbs. 14 of that is up high in the cans themselves. Mine is an early, pre-production model(read heavier mild steel) and I think Mark says it weighs about 9lbs. ALL of that weight is below COG...
