Here's a real world comparison and I'm really not focusing on peak numbers here but the rate of acceleration in the difference of Python staggered duals and an RB Racing LSR 2-1.. Same bike same build.. 83" EVO, 10.7:1 Woods 8, 3.28:1 gearing.. Acceleration with the 2-1 RB pipe was awesome.. Not only that but the 2-1 carried out further to 6500 and possibly even more.. The tuner shut it down.. The Python's stopped making power at 6000 rpm..
