It may be a full system but is not a race system, they are stock headers modified to run with two cans.

Twinny, it'll be fine mate. Renegade never made a full race system for the SV that I know of, they modified the original pipework though on the ones I've seen. This may be why the garage found it easier to swap the full exhaust systems across, but the effect on the fueling is less than it would be with a full system from Hindle or M4 say. This is good news for you as you can leave the bike alone and ride it.

I think some pics would probably help at this point then. Alternativly, we'll have a gander if you're down at Soho later.

Ah... sorry thought you were on about the twin renegade exhausts. Anyway, renegade did make a single pipe semi-full system for the Curvy SV, it was crap so it never really took off. Hence why they only mod standard downpipes now!!!

You won't need any fuelling mod's with a full system like that, same with the Micron which is also designed to work on standard fuelling (not a performance exhaust).

As for your Cat theory the curvy's didn't get one I don't think, only the pointys. I stand to be corrected.

No Cat on any of the curvy's or in the rene cans.

Cheers Mark.

Just to clear things up I took it to a friendly MOT station who believe that loud cans save lives and they stamped the rectification notice straight away so didn't have to change them back to the standard cans. I got pulled for that near Box Hill as they were stopping bikes specifically to check cans. In London I have never been stopped and I've had some stupidly loud cans before (empty's Viper can on the SV comes to mind ) and believe that a loud can is essential to fight the lemmings.
