that what i thought!
mine doesnt sound right and i know that the engine and box are fine
the exhaust sounds like it is trying to push something out the way

I have a Scorpion exhaust and have experimented myself, didn't notice a difference... I love the sound so leave it out.

No resonating shape, no stinger to set up return pressure waves... just a pipe. How's that an expansion chamber?

I really doubt it. There would have to be serious running issues with the rest of the bike to coke one up enough to do that.

sounds like a wet fart in the bath the exhaust. Needs replaced for a better end can

Any standard can does. If you think this is causing a running issue then you are either fooling yourself or there's something else going on.

probably the former as the bikes just been properly serviced.
