I've got the standard silencer as well, which one do I fit dilemma???? Less is more and all that!! Does the stealth give a performanc gain over the stock item, or is it just a bling thing that I can sell on to the next fashion victim??? P.S. Anybody got any Burberry pattern leathers for sale??
If there is a performance gain it will be only marginal, and I doubt whether you will notice. The gain is in the blinging looks and the superb sound. Whether you are on tickover, burbling along at 3000 revs, or on song over 5000 revs the sound is just sublime. I like the exit pipe roadside so it is more chavtastic when the bike is on the sidestand.
......Oh go on then, here's a picture...........innit.
Performance gain in terms of speed and acceleration may be hard to determine, but increase in torque on my City X is quite marked. Girlfriend commented on extra G force, so we went and bought some 'love handle grips' for her. I also keep thinking I'm still in 4th gear cos the motor now pulls nearly as hard in 5th, but seems to run out of puff at top end (not that you need that much speed!).
I specified a 3 inch exit pipe, which I think looks neat and still sounds 'bloody fantastic'.
