.......when you go to high mount, you add much more bend.......and more restricted air flow= LESS HP!!
This is a little misleading. An engine needs back pressure just as much as it needs free flowing exhaust. So if the header is designed to flow very well, and the engine requires a good amout of back pressure, a high mount could balance out the system.
So the question is are most full systems with high mount mid pipes just that? A header designed for a low mount, fitted with a high mount mid pipe? This would decrease the flow and hinder potential gains.
But if the whole system was designed as a high mount, I am sure the engineers could make it flow as well as a standard mount. Maybe this is why high mounts cost more? Or because the are so popular?
Either way I am still stuck with a stock exhaust for now. :mrgreen: I think I am going to go with a medium mount. Where the exhasut tip points up toward the rear point of the bike like this.
