Hi
Yeah, not expecting to gain hp over stock by playing with silencers. Objective is just low weight, desired noise level and non-restrictiveness. I'm always skeptical about gains from dicking around with exhausts, be it car truck or a bike. Same with air filters. That being said, the bike had a loud straight thru muffler, and it felt punchier than with stock.
I did hack off the kickstand bracket early on. If memory serves it would interfere with those fairings anyway.
Thanks for the tips and kind words. My son's only request with bike mods is always "make it lighter". It's an OK bike to thrash around and practice.
