On the right hand exit of the headers there is a large piece that need removing
If you remove the rhs link pipe and look down the exhaust in to the headers you will see it

Re: Black firestorm pics
There is a long running debate that this is not a restriction left there through laziness, but it is a design feature to match the pipe lengths / resonance / gas flow kind of thing. And removing it has a -ve effect on midrange.lloydiecbr wrote:On the right hand exit of the headers there is a large piece that need removing

So have a good read before you get the file out.

Re: Black firestorm pics
i get the feeling honda knows best on this one, unless it was cheaper and easier to manufacture the exhaust in such a way that you had that little piece of metal left there.. i have spoken to a forum member who took it out of his exhaust and he said there was an improvement, so who knows, unless someone dyno's there bike first and then again after removing that bit of metal, we will never know for sure....
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!
