Has anyone ever dyno tested a xb9s with a drag pipe or similar setup? 2 pipes off the engine and run down below for the dump.

Drag pipe work well only in there name. Drag, wide open throttle. they lack real bade down low. No back pressure, no reversion, and just louder than hell.

Drag pipes do not belong on any streetbike, period.

There are plenty of loud pipes that will not cause such a performance loss.
