downpipes question

Post by wt-hapen-to-databse »

Hi fellas!

Just wondering, as i cant find the answer via search bar, does changing the headers for a new stainless system change the sound at all?

just wondering as on Ebay they offer standard replacement OEM ones or other stainless systems that have apparently been "improved" over the standard ones.

Thanks!

nope, i have the sandybike spares ones, ok, fitting was a little bit off. it richened the bike at low revs and leaned it at high RPM.

if you are changing the can, maybe it will sound different. it was hard to tell with mine sound-wise though, as they had rotten through so much it was like i had no collector box...so anything was an improvement.

My bike sounded deeper when I changed to Delkevic stainless ones, although my standard ones had a lot of holes in them.
