Throttle response is greatly improved on the stock engine. The deeper note is a nice addition when taking off but once you're cruising you can't tell. Very nice and simple mod. Thanks fiftyone.

The piping through the front wouldn't of worked because of that black box in front of it (don't know what it's called. Didn't look at it to much). I'm thinking about maybe running some piping from the side down the the front bar but for now, it's all good. Can't wait to get my cat back and new exhaust fitted.
