There was an change in sound (deeper/better)........definately well worth the $$$$

I took it out for another run becuase on the way home was traffic time.
2 things I noticed now that the roads are clear
- before, it always felt from 5000RPM onwards like the engine would die (probably fomr the front 2 cylinders not getting enough air). Now, holy ****, it pulls like a doubly raped ape from 5000 to 7000, feeling like it's got another few thousand RPMs left in that gear. That was the most pleasing to me - ever since day 1 it always felt like it had power from 4000-5000RPM, but after that point would just drop off. Now, hehe, problem solved
- downshifting from 2nd to 1st around 40KPH, hehe, barked the tires (pretty hard to do on my firehawk sz50 EPs - p275...ont he stock tires I could easily enough) and when I shifted into 2nd I lost the rear end....it wheel hopped a bit and almost went into the next lane, totally took me by suprise)
yep, yep, definate power increase. Soooooooooooooo worth it

Thumbs up 99 Atlantic. I love the 5/16 on mine and I'm sure the 1/2 is a nootch above that.
