its a bolox reply id say. :smt003
untill you can tell the difference between titainium and stainless steel, i would hold back with the advice :smt002

Robbie, ive heard they quite good. My tuner said he had good results with a bike he had in. I trust his judgement. Ive got one in the lockup, and they are lovelly made systems.
They 'may' not get the peak power of a beet, but i would give it a try.

We use a Mercury system, the previouse owner of the bike did some dyno tests using Mercury, Beet and MHP systems and found that they all produced similar top end power, the MHP system held on to that power slighly longer than the others, the Mercury produced the best mid range Torque but the diferences are only marginal between the three. If the bike is fitted with the Mercury I would stick with it and with the Money saved get your Suspension set up profesionally this made a massive improvement to my lap times last year.
