I recently purchased a 2005 GSX1300R. I have never experienced such acceleration and power (including some airplanes that I have flown). It is a truly amazing feat of engineering. I have owned at least 8 other bikes of different makes, but nothing compares to this machine.
I would like to put on some louder pipes, not for performance because I dont need any more performance than is already there, I just want to be heard more easily by all the automobile drivers out there who seem intent on killing me. I was told that any new pipes that I put on (whether slip-ons or a whole new system) will require that I install a PowerCommander and reprogram the ECU in order to match the air inflow with the air outflow. What I have read (largely on this forum) about the PowerCommander is that it makes the throttle more responsive. But my Busa throttle is already so responsive that I have to really focus hard to ride smoothly (thanks, Reg Pridmore).
Just wondered what the consensus was about louder pipes and PowerCommanders. What kind are most popular for sound?
Thanks
