Hope this is in the right place to anounce a new product if not moderators feel free to move it to the correct section


ROUGE ENGINEERING 'X' PIPE

Whereas the factory section 2 " X - pipe" utlitizes two 60mm diameter tubes, with a "H" crossover and small resonator, the RE X-pipe maximizes gas velocity by merging the two smaller tubes into one larger 76mm tube before splitting back into two before the rear muffler. This efficient system allows for gas velocity to equalize from cylinders 1-3 and 4-6, before entering the muffler chamber. This exhaust merge improves sound as well as gas velocity.

As an added feature there is an external electronically controlled "by - pass" valve at the end of the X-pipe for total user controllable sound and flow characteristics. This valve allows the user to control the exhaust sound from stock (completely closed) to racebike loud (completely open) from within the vehicle cabin. The user has the option of any variable position (partially open), controlling the exhaust volume and flow. It takes less than 3 seconds to fully open to fully closed.

The RE X-Pipe is made to fit exactly like factory. Features of RE X-pipe include:
• Weighs only 12 lbs. with included blockoff plate (factory is 22 lbs.)
