Re: Selling BMW 630 Cabrio
not to be a wet blanket...but I used to be one who would readily subscribe to an aftermarket exhaust system be it 2-wheels(BMW RT's - GS's) or 4-wheels (E36-E46-E60) both for aesthetics or performance/weight savings which went into the justification of the indulgence.
On my bikes without dyno run, I would think it was money well spent just for the weight savings and sound....performance gains if any are just placebo unless proven. In some cases there are even side effects...loss of mid-range usually...irregular idle...etc...
Case in point..on my lastest R1200GS I was dead set on gettin the dbl-barrel Akra full system in Titanium..till I read tis...
.After market exhaust - benefit? - Aftermarket Exhausts - GS-Riders International
changed my whole perception 180...now will only commit if exos mod is PROVEN!
but that's just me ... Happy hunting!
