non connected exhaust

anyone ever done individual exhausts on a SHawk? meaning no 2 - 1 - 2. just straight each cylender going right to its own can? did it hurt or improve performance? engine sound? ability to tune the bike???

I am going to guess that it will hurt the performance, On a car a X-pipe or a H-pipe both add horsepower and torque. I am sure it would do the same on a bike.

I would say this is a drag bike type mod, for high RPM power outputs only.

The current exhaust is designed to aid cylinder filling/scavenging. You'd have to do a dyno run with the seperated dual exhaust to see if it was a good thing or bad thing. My WAG is that you would loose midrange torque 5-15 ft lbs) but gain top end HP. (3-5hp). Honda designed the system for a reason. If you look at every aftermarket full system and race system, they all follow the same design. It would take some serious R&D work on your part to come up with something better. Think of all the hours that race teams and Honda put into the stock exhaust. Simply going with 2 seperate pipes would have been done already if there were advantages..

My GTO has true dual exhaust. Folks on the LS2GTO forum have been adding X pipes and H pipes and getting a few more hp and ft-lb with additional tuning. The sound is different though. But this is a 6.0l V8, not a twin. I dunno how the sound would change. Probably sound more like a Harley.
