> Have been researching this myself, viewed both in person last week- the full system is definitely a larger diameter pipe, and sounds lower and meaner.
> The stock pipes merge into one pipe under the bike, so both exhaust streams pass through the exhaust valve as a single pipe, then split again just before the cans.
> The full system pipes have a different bend and merge/split in an 'X' formation just before the cans, so the two exhaust streams are not flowing through a single pipe diameter for any real distance.
> Service tech at the dealer said that full system increases mid range more than it increases top end. Apparently the exhaust valve is more for noise control/emissions/backpressure. He added that the full system is shaped to give the desired backpressure without the valve present, and the cpu is coded to keep the valve open with the termi slip-ons, whereas it is removed altogether with the full system.
> Trying to decide myself, leaning towards full system, not so much for increased hp (plenty already) but more for the deeper sound and to have one less electronic gizmo (servo/valve) on the bike.
