My couch pulls out but I dont
Let me start off by saying this is my first post on DTT, so if I am posting in the wrong section I apologize ahead of time...
I have searched around and cannot seem to find a solid source on my questions so I figured I would post in here and see what you guys think.
First question I have a 75 Honda CB500T, and was planning on running a 2 into 1 exhaust with no muffler heat wrapped, question I have is, what is the power loss in terms of 2 into 1 and the no muffler versus say, 2 into 1 with muffler, or 2 straight pipes no muffler, and stock...I have heard many different things, mainly that 2 into 1 is a huge power loss, but that doesnt seem right considering I know a lot of people run the 4 into 1 exhaust on CB500F and up
I also was wondering until then how much power loss would I experience if I ran stock pipes but removed the mufflers? Would there be a significant amount of power loss, I want to do this as I am stripping the bike of weight including the mounts for the exhaust in the rear and the taillight assembly which will be replaced with a placeholder and brake light right where the exhaust muffler currently goes on the left side...
Anyways thanks in advance for the help
