Title: Classic exhaust
Post by: jonapplegate on February 20, 2008, 05:09:22 pm
Question. That English made classic exhaust with the shorty muffler PN Z90356 looks fairly similar to the Indian made classic exhaust PN Z90366. The Indian looks to have a more elegant sweep to it and the English pipe looks a little more angular. I like the look of the Indian pipe better but have heard that the English one is the better performance wise. Any insight into this would be very helpful.

Jon, you are splitting hairs. Unless you are racing at Daytona  any minor difference in performance is meaningless. This is not cutting edge technology. Go with what looks better to you and you will be a happy camper. Remember to re-jet! For a significant performance boost get the Amal carb with the pipe.

Vince! Thanks for the feedback. I will stick with the Indian exhaust. Figured that there was a minimal amount of difference. Splitting hairs is what I may do best though so expect many more six of one half doz. other questions.
