I don't feel they are very popular. I like them though. Not sure of the power, but they are original!

I've heard the theory put forth that says the more bends you have in your exhaust path, the less power you make. Any one else heard this? I've had a salesman at Hard Racing tell me that Micron "doesn't sell" the Serpent system in a high mount because of the extra bend in the mid pipe and how it robs HP and that Micron is all about HP (I'll post his answer if I can find it). So that would lead me to believe that these Froggies would make less power than a standard mounted slip on. And if that's the case, then why does Ducati, and now Honda make underseats with all those kinky bends?

Hmmmmmm............... :roll:

Unfortunately, no.
Micron ONLY offers the Serpents in a Std. Mtn.

Since a High Mtn. Tends to lose 3 - 4 hp because of the Extremen bend in the Mid. Pipe.... and Micron is ALL about the Max. HP output..... they opt. Not do a High Mtn.

The Sale ends on Friday.

Just let us know.

Well, it seems that Wolf Exhaust has finally gotten around to making the underseats for the '03 R6. No pictures as of yet but they are saying that they are made in the same style as the new 999's. http://www.wolfracing.co.uk/r6_03.html

They are also based in the UK.

:jump I'm anxious to see what they look like! :jump

yea ive heard that the more bends in the pipes the less power output there is but they said it was hardly anything, like 1 hp or less. some high mounts like two brothers have less sharp bends than others.

 

[penfold]

Has anyone seen a side by side comparison of like a Micron standard mount vs a high mount? Or any other manufacturer that makes both styles?

 

[xr6ross]

take a look at the pics here. they show that the standard mount def has a lot better line for the airflow. but the highmount looks so cool though!

 

[penfold]

sorry, but I should have been clearer before. I meant to ask if anyone has seen a side by side dyno comparison of std mount vs. high mount from the same manufacturer.

 

[xr6ross]

oh yea i thought that was a pretty weird question considering i think everyone has seen standard and high mount pipes together. yea that is a good question about dynos, i would be interested to see that too. :stupic
