Seen the commercial on their site few days ago.. and I wonder what will be
different to their 4road series, and how much will it cost.
In my opinion, the 4road series already costs too much.
-
They don't say what it will cost and there dosn't seem to be any actual performance gain claims infomation available , but im sure it would make Leo Vince happy if you bought one .

I have a 4 road on my X500. I little louder than stock, but not to bad. Increased performance? I don't know if big diff? But my MPG is pretty good with if. But really, I would rather have stock system for less noise. To bad a wild big bounced off my front wheel at 5 AM one morning, spun around and smashed my old muffler? Oh well. :D :-*

I guess most or all of the performance upgrade comes from lower weight.
Every aftermarket exhaust will probably increase hp by a few percent, but the question is
where.
You might get 2hp more at 7000, and 2hp less at 6500.. and your CVT adjusted to run at
6500 at full throttle and you get a drop in performance.

Sorry, thats wild PIG not wild BIG. But it was a Big one. Hey Chandler, ever seen a big harry javalina at close range? ;D :-*

Can't say I have... Moved here from NYC 11 years ago and have yet to see even a snake. Seen one scorpion at ACE hardware in a fish tank as a promo for their selection of blacklight flashlights!

When I was there, I saw rattle snakes crossing the road, deer, javalina (wild pigs), and a tarantula spider crossing I17 once. :-*
