You want every edge? You racing it?
wouldn't increasing the flow out the exhaust require me to re jet it .... wouldn't it lean it out?

no racing for me, just wanna make the bike at low rpms a little more snappy.

For the vain amongst us removing the snorkel and fitting tank risers does give a nice induction roar......

Not really.
A slip on can type silencer is broadly the same thing. Obviously one meant for a CG125 might be a little restrictive. But, practically all of the cans on sale at the moment are 2" bore, roughly same length. Work exactly the same...
