After fitting mine, I left the baffles in, (mainly use the bike as a commuter), but I went for a group ride with some mates and took the baffles out.
Don't really notice any power drop, and they are heaps louder now. I love it, haven't bothered putting the dB killers back in either, but I do ride with ear-plugs all the time... it is pretty loud.
Would go even better with a PCIII, I don't have the cash to do it, so I'll just live with the pops and crackle's you get when slowing down... sounds pretty cool actually.
Great choice mate, you won't be disappointed.
Nice.
Looks like someone isn't getting the FZ1.
Usually popping is due to a rich condition. During decel the exhaust over scavenges and the unburned fuel from the motor and burns in the exhaust. Or in the case of the FZ its probably the aftermarket muffler that lets you hear more cool motor sounds than the stock muffler. :thumbup:
just cant wait, now its all ready to put on my new exhaust when in get them in:rockon: i took me maybe about 30min to take every thing off. tool where mp3 player, beer, and sockets and power tools. if you real got on it i think you could do everything in about a hour. i work kinda fast, but if you just look you can see what needs to to be taken off. oh ya and thanks Jman:thumbup: the 07 is a little differnt from the 08, their were a couple of things less to take off, only like two bolts less. but all in all it was very easy to do. i was shock how heavy the stock exhaust and cat were. real heavy, and i can see how much that cat blocks the exhaust flow.
