    Interesting..

    or not.
    Anyway - swapped the exhaust today for the MOT, so I thought I would put them on the scales:
    Std Honda Lump - 7.8kg
    Remus GP + connector pipe - 4kg

    Having run the std pipe for the last 3 weeks, I think the performance difference (if any) of the remus is negligible, however it certainly sounds like its more powerful.

    P.S.

    Have to leave home at 5:30am tomorrow - so the neighbours are in for a nice early wake-up. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

    And yet I felt there was a definite power increase when I fitted mine.
    Has anyone dyno'd and got graphs showing any power increase?
    Forum help and advice needed?

    Be honest we don't like the look or sound of the standard exhaust. It is what hits your ears that we like.

    ATs are not bought for power. The best waw to improve power it to loose weight take the top box and the crash bars off.

    During my rebuild, I swapped the RD04 end can for an end can from another RD04... This also felt 4 kg's lighter.

    Anyone know the development history about the end cans?... Well sod it, I don't really care ....
