[QUOTE="Bill Thomas, post: 120154, member: 485"] I am also worried how much power is lost on our Road Bikes, I have played a bit with the end pipe, I know in the old days it should end at the rear wheel spindle, But that is not good for the Road, Because of noise etc. I have said before, When I was Sprinting I added 6" to my home made 2 x pipes on my Twin, From wheel spindle and it put another 1 second !! On to my 1/4 mile time, Cut 3" off better 1/2 second, Went back to wheel spindle, Back to 13.5 seconds :) [/QUOTE]
