Pipe set up

Ok I have been looking to get a new set of pipes to lower the weight and get a little more hp. I am not very familier with this sort of thing and where I like the sound and the matte black look option of the slash cut Voo doos I was wondering if they would actually decrease my performance. I am asking the Gods of the forum for a little advice is a 4-1 setup a better option or a 4-2 set-up ideal for gaining or at least keeping the hp I have. I'm not expecting 20hp gains or anything crazy just a bump would be nice and I can't bring myself to add anything that would lower the performance over looks and sound. Any advice here ?


Oh it's an 07 and it already has the additional 20 hp due to the black color of the bike allowing it to slip through wind with 0 resistance :laugh:

yeah saw that but the question still remains which is the better bet overall I want to kll the weight but I'mlooking for good all around performance I wanted to go the slash cut voodoo route what I'm looking for is any input a to wether or not that would decrease performance and which set up is ideal for lowering weight and additional performance so is a 4-2 a better way to go or a 4-1 ?
 
I went through the same thing when i picked up the Akrapovic, wanted that slash cut. Sorry can't help answer your questions but on a full 4-2-1 system the Akra will be tough to beat.

Good luck and I am sure someone will be along to help you out!
 
I have a K9. I went with the Voo Doo exhaust with baffles. I didn't want to go straight pipes because I still wanted a little back pressure. I heard through the grapvine that the Voo Doo without baffles can mess up the valves. Not knowledgable enough to know the validity of that statement though.

someone here will know :thumbsup: I may need to hit up greg at gpw he seems to know this sort of thing just wish he was more in my neighborhood so I could have him do all the tuning as well
 
Here are a couple of pics of my set up in case you haven't already seen it. I hope I do this right.
hmm..... Not working from work computer I would have to do it when I get home tonight...sorry.

I love them. Not too obnoxiously loud, but they get their point across. I am in the military, so went with the baffles, so that I didn't catch grief trying to go through the gate.
 
nice i anted to go baffled too but matte black I like my bike subtle the chrom fits right with your color and frame
 
I found them for $499.00 plus $56.00 for the baffles. I also added the PC V. There was no mapping yet available so Suzuki recommended mapping them to the Two Brothers set up.

Ok, if your looking for a performance (gain) from slip-ons. I suggest the Tsukigi Racing SS/Oval slip-ons. With a tune we got 160 HP with a BMC Race filter and these slip-ons...keep in mind the best GEN I made 164 with a AKRA EVO with a custom length can on our dyno and a 2005 with a Tsukigi GENII SS/Oval on it at 166HP.

I can do the slip-ons for $650.00 plus shipping, I have two left for this price....they can come in satin black for an additional $150. We can also get the Two Brothers Mega-phone style slip-ons. Every bike we tested with these types GP styke of slip-ons on the Busa and ZX-14 produced less power than stock.

Hey just do a Muzzy full system for the 99-07 for $525 tyd,you can add a used pc be full ready for under $775...
 
there are many here on the .org that have forgot more about the busa than I will ever know. with that in mind i think akrapovic evolution are the best pipes. considering looks, sound, and performance.

i think brocks is right there but they are much louder.

if i was in the market for a pipe for my gen 1 i would seriously consider the used akra in the classifieds. just my 2cents

I am willing to bet we can make as much power with a set of PCIII tuned high quality Tsukigi slip-ons and an air filter....... :whistle:
