Awesome. My old VFR, with Supertrapp! Used bikes almost always come with pipes, unfortunately. I also hated that Chase Harper tank bag.

I think this has devolved into pure semantics.

My only point at the start of this whole thing was that throttle position plays a role in this. That's it. It plays a role because it's a tuned system and throttle position is a huge variable.

It's not a simple matter of reducing back pressure. Whoa, what too complicated for a forum discussion, and I only sort of know what I am talking about and I am addressing like three or four issues at once, and all sorts of other arguments are being dragged into the conversation. Too confusing!

That's it. Throttle position plays a big role in the performance of an exhaust and it's ability to enhance performance. The only other thing is that the most prominent data set we have, dyno charts are all data sets from WOT. So, I don't think they're great tools for assessing part throttle effects from pipes.
