: Pipe comparison ? along with PCIII

Ok, the myster pipe I have have been identified as Satos. That leaves me with three pipe options from the parts I have and I am undecided.

1. My bike was tuned by a shop with the previous owner. The tune was done using a full Jardine 2 into 1 system. It was mapped and charted at 123hp. I never rode it like this. I can turn it back to this system easy.

2. When I bought the bike, the owner had custom modded the 2 to 1 Jardine by cutting the pipe at the Y connecto, fabing a new midpipe and then going to a shorty D and D. This is how I got it and have put on about 100miles. The bike seems rich and pops and compared to my 998S feels like its lacking torque. It does have decent top end after 6k but I am kinda disappointed in the power.

3. I have the stock headers with these Satos. I can just buy some mids and run those but that seems like a long shot.

My question is what setup is best? I also have the pair removed, flapper removed?

What map should I go with as when I look online, I dont see any with the flapper and pair removed?

Any help, recomendations are greatlyu appreciated.

The stock head pipes with Sato cans and mid-pipes are a really nice combination.
They make great mid-range torque from the dyno charts posted on the Net.

The sato setup is gonna be your best bet power wise. 123hp out of a Jardine 2:1 is pretty damn good though.

I think I am going to go back to the Jardine for now and get rid of this D and D junk that is on there. Thanks.
