That being said, I have a set of Thunderbike's on my '03 BA. There was always a bit of play in the pipes laterally. I could move them an inch or so side to side while mounted. Is this how they are supposed to be? I tightened them up so they are now solid. My bike now gets terrible gas mileage ever since this. Just wondering if the pipes are restricting exhaust flow since I tightened things up (I do tend to over-torque things), or something else? I have already changed plugs and the air filter but that is where my mechanical knowledge ends. I also really don't notice any gross change in performance. HELP!!!
