    Well I don't want to argue with your mechanics teacher but my 20 years of real world experiance tells me to chuck it up and machine away...

    As is arguing with me.. I'm more awesome then you..
    Ask anyone!

      Steve, this all goes back to the right way and wrong way to do things. They come with clamps correct, do you think it's a better idea to clamp them or have them welded on?

        I haven't looked at the bike in a while due to work (and the bikes still at my parents), but I didn't think the rotors were cross drilled...

          Yeah, thats cool. I just didn't know that you could do that. That's pretty cool.

            I would go for the 4into 1 system as am a firm believer in headers and the power/ torque they can produce=Bolt on horsepower if you can find such a match!

              While that may be true, I'm on an extremely limited budget and I'm not looking for tons more power, to be honest I'll probably baby the bike like I do my car. I'm looking to just get a single exhaust without losing power, and getting the bike to look good as well as the needed maintenance.

              From others opinions (and real world experience) it seems a full exhaust would require other parts as well as more tuning. Thanks for input though. If I were to be going for power I probably would at least think about a full exhaust as well as the other needed mods to keep the bike running strong.
