I was talking to my uncle the other nite about getting a full system for my sv.
He was telling me that theres no point because i wont gain any extra BHP
He was convinced that i'll loose power rather than gain it
I find this hard to belive, because ive always read/been told that with a better flowing zorst and the correct card set up you gain power

Does anybody fancy giving me some advice.....please :D

Cheers

I don't think you'll get a huge power increase from a full system. You'll prob have to get the bike dynoed and rejetted to see a gain of only a couple of horses.

I fitted an aftermarket slip-on exhaust and got the fueling done which gave me a couple more bhp. I wanted the exhaust for the looks and sound mainly.

I'd look at get a bigger bike if I wanted more bhp, though a nice exhaust or full system sounds great on the SV.

Yep, you'd get a bit of power but it's really expensive for what you get... Fitting one without rejetting/remapping would most likely cost you power. A slipon really makes more sense unless you're really going for it power wise (because a full system is really a requirement to make other tuning work worthwhile).

Nonsense, but you will have to get the carbs set up right to suit the system.

My mate has one on his CBR and forum wise, Rigor had one on his GSXR.

Quality looked decent enough, but my mate only put it on this summer so i can't tell you how it will fair over time.

As for sound, it wasn't loud-loud, but it had a nice note to it.

I'm sure Rigor can tell you more.
