It looks nice, but i'd like to know how much dyno time/work it's had done to get the 2 into1 to make anywhere near standard power, as I had real problems with mine- at one point it was only making 89 at the wheel.
I might ask the owner a few questions....

A very good point Chris (Jonesey). There's no point in something looking good if you lose out in bhp IMHO.

It's the same with cheapo aftermarket cans, the companies who sell these usually claim you don't need to re-jet your bike etc, it will run fine as standard with their cans, but the truth is they often don't :!:

Interesting about how your 2 into 1 lowered the bhp on your bike. I think the problem with fitting a 2 into 1 on the VTR, with the single can on the righthand side (rear brake pedal side) of the bike, is that the header for the rear cylinder is far to short.

Hi Tony, once it's been on the dyno, will you post figures etc? i'd love to know what work it's had done, as I failed miserably at a 2 into 1!!
Nice purchase mate.
