There is more then making hot gases from an exhaust exit quickly than running an open pipe and calling it a day. A tuned
exhaust system is a careful balance of give and take between power and sound, and while a system that flows too freely
will decrease low-end torque (and ruin your ears). One that is too restrictive will lose top-end steam and sound pretty weak.
Over the years we've seen numerous designs constructed from just about every material in the search to produce the most
power while keeping the weight to a minimum and the emissions in check. As a result of all the research and development,
the stock header pipes on many sport bikes have become very efficient, and adding a slip on exhaust system has become
a simple way to add more power while shedding loads of weight and improving the appearance. Slip on systems are also
available in a wide variety of colors, shapes, materials and designs to meet just about anyone's taste.

By adjusting the number of plates on the muffler the exhaust system becomes tuned to the motor with a versatile power
band of low end torque and top end horsepower. Removing plates increases back pressure resulting in more torque and
quieter exhaust note. Adding plates decreases back pressure adding top end power delivery and louder exhaust tone. In
essence remove plates for more torque, quieter exhaust or add plates for more top end and louder tone. You choose the
balance of power delivery. The XB08 Extremeblaster tunable muffler for your GSXR will fine tune to your location based on
temperature and elevation and riding style whether you are a stunt rider, street fighter or strip competitor. Plates are set up
for each size motor with a balanced power band of torque and horsepower. No after market EFI controller needed, no EFI
electronics or fuel maps to mess with. The XB08 Extremeblaster allows you to tune your GSXR exhaust pipe to your motor
based on your preferences, not your motor to your pipe. Spark plugs burn normal with the supplied plate set up. Disk pipe
delivers deep low RPM tone. The XB08 GSXR exhaust  is not excessively loud for a short pipe due to the packing and noise
diffusion disk technology. The U.S.F.S. approved spark arrestor is a great safety feature for a short pipe. Muffler set up
comes ready to ride no need to adjust disks for those not desirable of fine tuning measures (most customers are satisfied
installing as is). Unique street bike tone not found on other short after market pipes.
