Cutting down exhaust and back pressure
Hello all,
Does anybody know how short an exhaust can be on a pointy sv? i'd like to cut down the GForce end can i have but i don't really understand the back pressure issue, any light shed on this subject would also be interesting. Thank you |

Re: Cutting down exhaust and back pressure
as was mine. went and sounded sweet. the FI just corrects the fuleing according to what is on the bike to a degree but can only go so far untill somthing like a power comander is needed. but for road use this isnt needed.
cut it down and have some fun |

You'll lose a little bit of mid range torque.

Re: Cutting down exhaust and back pressure
Thanks for replying, I thought cutting to short would be an issue for some reason, I want to go down to about 2/3 standard size.

Re: Cutting down exhaust and back pressure
This seems to run fine and sounds v. nice, probably about half the original size.
