I was just sitting back and keeping my mouth shut, but you guys that know me know how hard that really is for me to do.
I was also told by ThunderDoods that the pipes are specifically tuned for a stock 790 motor. I beleive that is so, however...the tuning of the pipes (cam dwell vs header length vs baffle positioning vs pipe length) is still the same with carb mods. Performance exhaust pipes are tuned using these specific distances, openings and cam/valve timing. It is a mathmatical result, not dependent upon carb settings, Strictly determined by the physical aspects of the motor. Which is the same, correct? (less big bore and such, which is a whole different ballgame) Therefore, There is still room for improvement. I would ponder to guess that if I kept my bike the same, and just put on say short TOR's, there would be a noticible performance drop.
Just my opinion, I may be wrong.
But mine runs pretty good if I do say so myself.
