Are there really "noticible" improvements in performance when installing aftermarket exhaust? or is it really just more noise?
Yes and no. A set of slip-ons would not likely make much of a difference according to a dyno. There may be a perception of increased power because some people like to run to higher revs for the noise factor and in doing so, they are in a higher torque range at higher rpm. A "full" system is substantially more open without catalytic converters and would more likely make a bit more horsepower. This type of system usually includes fuelling mods and possibly airbox mods so you are actually looking at a complete package rather than just a simple exhaust change. More power is available but a simple set of cans might not make much difference IMHO.Are there really "noticible" improvements in performance when installing aftermarket exhaust? or is it really just more noise?

Ross, thats what I thought and wanted to hear. I have aftermarket exhaust cans on my 08 that look great and sound terriffic (assuming you want the increased noise) but after 4 years of louder exhaust and just after riding a friends 09 with stock exhaust I,ve decided to go back to stock as the noise doesn,t do it for me anymore

Yup<snip> or is it really just more noise?
Is that really wise?I took all my Sunday School kids for a ride on the FJR today.
