Hello
I am new to this Forum and have recently bought a new Kawasaki Z650 2017 Model in India. I used to train on 200 CC Sports bikes before so this was a pretty big jump for me. Anyways that is an off topic discussion, the reason I wanted to create this thread was to get expert suggestions and a piece of their mind about my decision to fit an IXIL Dual Hyperlow L3XB exhaust on my Bike.
I got it fitted at Kawasaki only because they said if I get it done elsewhere, they will void the warranty and the Bike has run 1100 Kms until now. After I got it fitted I met a fellow racer at the service center, he told me that since IXIL exhausts are pretty "RAW" in their sound and functioning that I should get my bike Dyno Tuned or I could risk messing up the engine in the first 10,000 Kms. Now I have never ever had a bike dyno tuned before but after some google results, I got what he meant. The Airflow increased but the fuel intake was similar to the previous config ( Stock Exhaust ).
Now this fellow racer recommended a famous dyno tuning shop ( Redline Racing Store ), they had pretty good reviews so I called them and they told me to bring the bike. When I reached their shop I met a young guy almost my age ( 19-21 ), and he just recommended that I should remove IXIL because First " They are cheaply made " and Second " They will kill the engine in the first 10,000 Kms and that it is inevitable "and he suggested Two Brothers as a replacement for my IXIL exhaust and a filter ( Waste of Money cause no one will take it now ).
Now these statements have panicked me for the last couple of days and since I am new to biking, I needed expert suggestions as to what I should do. Should I just go ahead and spend 1200$ more on the Two Brothers ? Or should I keep IXIL ( 800 $ ) and I will be fine ?
