Single/Dual Exhausts vs. weight

I just wanted to confirm something I've gathered from digging through old posts:

I understand that the full-system single sided Jardine Ti is the lightest exhaust option, with around 30lbs of weight loss, but may not make as much power as the low-mount Sato's. That right? (And where can one buy that? Price? I've checked the forum vendors and the other 'Net outlets without luck.)

If there is a better full system out there, I'd sure like to hear about it. I'd prefer a full Sato to match what I have on the Blade, but...

Volume is an issue...I'd like to at least have the option of departing my neighborhood at a granny pace at odd hours. I'd figured that even though the Jardine is stupid loud, I could at least pop in the optional noise suppressor they sell to get out on the highway with.

Thanks,
Dan

Lemme try this again.

Do the available single-exit systems save enough weight to be worth fitting over the sato lows?



Thanks,
Dan

Re: Single/Dual Exhausts vs. weight

Full systems on a bike with the stock intake is not worth the additional $. Slip-ons from Moriwaki and Sato are a much better option for you price/performance dollar.

The 2-1 Jardine system is not a stellar performer and powercommander map support is limited to what DynoJet offers and what you are willing to have devloped on your own.
