Accessories and modifications - C14/GTR 1400 / Re: Slip on vs Full system exhaust, pros/cons?

But if you did....
I am not at all a fan of loud. The stock muffler and lead-pipe are not overly restrictive (they are well-designed/matched). Unless you also increase the size of the exhaust manifold, it isn't likely to do very much in change of performance... just increase noise. If you DO increase the manifold (possibly also the intake) AND reflash, then you will lose low-end torque for some additional high-end. A correctly tuned C14 with stock exhaust system has more low-end power than the ZX14 all the way up to at least 7000RPM (and up to at least 6000RPM vs a ZX14R), which was intentional- more power where most tourers want it/use it, so that is essentially just undoing that tuning.
If you want performance, the reflash, alone, will do much, much, much, much more than anything you can do. I consider it a must-have for the C14.

but when I move to Rte de Mézériat you magically disappear.
