the whole point of adding an aftermarket exhaust is to gain more hp...but if you ONLY add the exhaust (by 'exhaust, I mean a FULL system-headers, mid pipe and muffler/mufflers) you are wasting $$ for a nice noise-maker; the exhausts need to have a modified A/F mix in order to get any extra hp out of your bike-this can done by guys like GPW (awesome guy to work with
) and others here on the board, or you can simply download maps right from PowerCommander's website that are setup for the 'standard' mods to Busas: air filter, exhaust, etc.
the PAIR valve mod may help w/backfiring a lil, but PCIII will eliminate for sure w/a good dyno-tune (which can only be done w/PCIII usb or another aftermarket engine tuning box-there are several avail.)
most riders dont need to go any further than a PCIIIusb, pair valve mod, air filter and pipes...beyond thatif you want more HP you will start dropping major $$$.
