I've had bss on a build and switched. The 2into1 will gain 5-7 in the 2700-3400 rpm range but likely not in the peak numbers. Stick with what u like looks and sound IMO.

Bss do really well in every dyno chart I've ever seen. Except the small torque dip but strong all around.

I wouldn't care if 2-1 pipes were free and gained me 20 hp I wouldn't run them because of the look. Unless your into hp and a higher level of performance go with the ones that compliment the bike and have the sound that your after.

As long as you don't run open drag pipes, it doesn't really matter what you have on there.

What he said is very true.

Here is my dyno chart. Its the same 107 build with the only change being going from the BSS to the Pro Pipe.



I am happy with the results though because I gained more torque right in the main riding part of the rpm range. I can feel the difference and it is smoother overall. But whats worth it to me may not be worth it to you.

+1 This pretty much sums up my opinion as well.
