    I bought the ajustable 18 or 20 ratio

    I'm running two lines on the front and set it at 20 ratio.................its like throwing a parashute out the back when you brake

    Dont bother paying the extra for the RCS.

    Just go for the Brembo master cylinder with a fixed ratio of 20.

    Also get some braided hoses fitted.

    You need to get your bike set up on a dyno, there is no way that the bike should feel faster/make extra power with the baffle in.

    The baffle will reduce the output of the bike.

    Get it booked in for a dyno run.

    It felt a 100% better with the baffle in so i do not see the point of spending more money on a dynoe run?

    LOL. That's because the stock fuelling is better suited to baffle in.
    It would run well with baffle out, but needs a Power Commander map to do so.

    I rekon if you dyno'd a standard bike with standard can, it would have higher bhp than an Akra with a baffle...

    There, thats thrown the cat among the pigeons.. FIGHT FIGHT!

    Dude, most things on the internet are not necessarily correct at all! :)

    Any aftermarket can with a baffle installed produces less power than the standard Honda can.

    Speak to any dyno tunning company and look as some dyno graphs.

    Yes using your words " you have a pretty blinkered view".

    In future please do some research prior to posting incorrect comments!!!

    Also thanks Chris for the clarification.

    OK mate, I'll bite (just a bit though) :)
    Your original statement was that the baffle will reduce the output of the bike. You meant in comparison to the race can with baffle out as that's what the thread's about.
    But any exhaust will only perform well if the engine, fuel and intake systems are setup to suit it. Do you agree with that?
    Also, an open pipe may well give a couple of BHP at peak, but maybe it will have a detrimental affect in the low and midrange, which may be corrected by fitting a baffle.
