The stock cans and convertor are pretty stout. You will notice backfiring once you change them out. I think the convertor muffles the backfires on the stock setup.
Then you will start messing with the TPS, throttle synch, Techlusion Box, air screws,but
the backfiring will remain. HA,HA
I've never done the dyno, but mine will pull wheel VERY easily with the pipes on...... when I went backto stock pipes once (for a trackday), I was very dissapointed in the midrange performance. Could barely get the front off the ground. Now All better with the pipe back on!

So maybe no more grunt at the top, but a definite improvement in the middle, right where it's needed.

I've never mounted the 2bros, the Ztek midpipe won't match and I refuse to put the original cat back on.
Looking for a Laser y-pipe, but not too hard.... I love the Ztek.

ps. No chip or fiddling with stuff, just standard plugs,valve check and tb synch. No popping issues! I love my bike.
