Author Message   Tf1182 Posted on Friday, January 02, 2009 - 11:48 pm:        I have an 03' xb9s with stock exhaust and was looking into the Micron Exhaust. What will this do for my bike's performance?   Petebueller Posted on Saturday, January 03, 2009 - 07:00 am:        Best way is to look at the exhaust shootout on American Sport Bike. You'll need to get a map for it, and American Sport Bike can probably help with that as well. I had a Micron on my XB12 and loved it. More than 10% increase in HP. Linear HP curve. Low torque. 10% better fuel consumption. Made the bike more forgiving in any gear, and really responsive everywhere. The EPA suggested that I might want to be a bit quieter, which is the only reason I don't have it today. I don't think it is is louder than most of the other performance systems.   Aptbldr Posted on Saturday, January 03, 2009 - 07:02 am:        Find & read an exhaust system comparison written-up by Al Lighton. Its in here somewhere, I think. Alone, Micron exhaust system will only make the machine a little lighter; engine may perform worse. It's bound to sound faster though : ) Micron system includes exhaust pipes as well as muffler; so it's "hungry" for re-tuning the ECM 'maps' to fit the Micron-change. Then, you'll have engine performance gains. Read that comparison, lots of data & good analysis.
