1 How loud are the megaphone exhausts?
These megaphone exhausts are on the louder side of a slip-on exhaust. The small muffler design brings a louder, deep race bike sounding tone.

2 Do I have to remove my stock catalytic converter when I install the megaphone?
On some models this is required and some it is not. Models that require removal of stock catalytic converter are: 06-07' GSX-R 600/750, 05-06' GSX-R 1000. Models that do not require removal of catalytic converter are: 08-09' GSX-R 600/750, 07-08' GSX-R 1000, 06-09' YZF-R6, and 08-09' ZX-10R.

4 Do I need a power commander after installing a megaphone?
It will help the performance on your bike, but it is not necessary. Contact Power Commander direct for more specific information about power commanders and fuel mapping.

5 Will I gain or lose horsepower?
On average we have seen between 2-6 HP gains for our megaphone pipes. The increase is noticeable at the top end of the RPM’s. The extra HP along with reduced weight is a noticeable different from stock.
