  • New exhaust

    Hi I've got an 03 katana and I just put a two brothers exhaust on it recently. I had been looking on the internet and most people said they get around 40-50 mpg with their katana. Does anybody know how much a race exhaust would effect the mpg? Thanks

    The exhaust alone should not have that major of an effect on your MPG. The carb tuning and properly working does.

      You'll probably see your mpg go down a bit in the end. Maybe 3-4 mpg. The freer flowing exhaust needs a richer fuel/air mix which provides more power but at the cost of using more fuel all the time, not just when you're moving fast. Most of your mpg loss is going to be from when you're going slow or stopped.
