Re: Fuel Exhaust Question?
The actual figures I have no idea, enough that you get the old can off and think "f### me, what do they put in it" At least a kilo saved at a very conservative estimate, more with the baffle out

Re: Fuel Exhaust Question?
If a slip on was heavier (for which it would have to be made of depleted uranium and packed with lead) then it would still be worth it just for the sound

Re: Fuel Exhaust Question?
Yes but we're on about the SV
Would you like me to go down to the garage and weigh the standard one? (I can't be bothered really, so just take my word for it)

Re: Fuel Exhaust Question?
The sound yes there's a serious difference, the standard one sounds absolutley carp, like a sewing machine or a generator lol.
Stick a fuel can on it, and you'll love the noise. They're not offensive with the baffle out, mines never had it in lol. Performance wise, nah, probably flow a little better but not massive. Mine's a fuel can on the end of a micron stainless system, cut down about 5" That does sound good
