    Yo everybody quick question for anyone who knows more than me about exhausts.. (all of you probably), so i've installed the M4 Gp and ended up also using the stage 2 silencer, the bike now sounds f00kin awesome reminds me of the ascari off top gear, BUT due to the silencer reducing the inlet size by atleast 50% will i lose power??? it seemed a bit sluggish upto 150 today (on private roads obviously) whereas with the stock exhaust I overtook a mate and didn't even realise I was doing that speed. Maybe its just because its noisy the pick up in speed is more noticeable. can anyone explain?

    cheers

    I am sure my g.p.r can does loose a little power below 5k but not much. above 5k i cant tell any differance.

    Get a pcv and a custom map done, dyno bike in malton would be a good place to go

    I just fitted a PCV because my GP style exhaust lost a bit of throttle response and low down torque and I can say it totally sorted it out :D

    yes pcv is a must IMHO
    even my yoshi felt down in power slightly before fitting one.
    worked wonders on my gp-pro

    5 can be fine adjusted more and also is more compact.
