Something to consider is where the power lives that you actually use. The stock pipes were tuned to give midrange punch to a sport tourer that might be on the chunky side (like me)--not just horsepower, but crisp throttle response in the midrange. If I recall the dyno charts, this is slightly compromised by the larger head pipes. Might be a perfect match if the compression was bumped up a bit (FZR pistons will do this)...

The Renegade is stainless (and titanium or carbon fiber if you want), gets at least 10% more power, and cheaper than the stock pipes. Since I keep my bike garaged, and do not ride it when salt has been used, my exhaust is in pretty good shape. I only have a slight scuff from when somebody hit it in the parking lot. -----Original Message----- From: Boman, Jeff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 2:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Renegade Exhaust status Jon, I'm just a bit curious here. What is the motivation to replace the exhaust system on the GTS? Is it worn/corroded out or is the desire to have more power and a different sound? I'm not trying to be disrespectful or judgmental, just wondering if I need to be concerned about the life of the exhaust system. atb Jeff B. -----Original Message----- From: Crisler, Jon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2003 10:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Renegade Exhaust status I spoke to Jorge from Renegade at great length about a volume GTS exhaust purchase. Jorge is the brains at Renegade. He is looking forward to any purchases. Please check out the dyno graphs at http://www.renegade-products.com/renegade/index.html Keep in mind that these are high quality full systems, in weather resistant stainless steel, with a variety of exhaust cans available, and should give you a dyno-tested 10% boost in power with no other changes. All stock bodywork, parts, hard bags etc. are retained, including the O2 sensor. We currently have 6 "I am really interested" prospects, and a few "sort of interested". Also, he had great praise for the GTS, and apparently had one a while back if I understood him correctly. He described a process where he attempted to crack the ECU, but without success.
