the bikes restricted so i havent noticed any power gains. having said that the original pipes had about 4 holes in them so there was a big imrovement lol. the stainless pipes are really heavy though. they felt heavier than the standard system and that was made of rust. ive been looking for a micron full system but havent seen any on ebay plus i got no money so it's gonna have to wait a while.

i think thats the trade off, stainless weighs more but will last significantly longer! Micron systems are getting harder to get hold of but they are out there so keep looking/saving! ;)

Mind, look at it this way, that's more of the bike's weight right towards the bottom of the bike, so it's gotta do a tiny something towards lowering the CoG...

That's a nice lookin ZX, John, enjoy her, and welcome in!

Not really any difference to standard. And they don't weigh THAT much more
