shortened cans...

bit of a daft one, 2010 bike, running 15/42, pcv, open air box, quick throttle and danmoto gp cans. had the bike on a dyno a few times after i'd changed bits along the way and although things improved nothing every felt massively different, even did a couple of back to back runs with yoshi cans on and the only difference was they got rid of the 5,500-6,500 dip but hardly noticeable when riding it.

anyway after trying to tweak one of the headers a bit by pushing on one of the cans the carbon eventually started to break up around the rivets so the other day i decided to sort it out by cutting the cans down by about 6" and re packed them a bit.

only done about 40 miles on it since then but the seat of the pants dyno has noticed the biggest jump in performance yet!! even being sceptical it's got a fair bit more poke.

will be able to get it on the same dyno i've used before but not for a while so can't compare it that way just yet.

so is it just me or can chopping cans down make much of a difference?

thing is i'm not convinced it's all in my head?? have had that feeling of 'oh **** that's not 2nd it's 1st gear' when i've opened it up a few times when i've been bimbling along.

just annoying that i can't get it back on the same dyno for a while.
