I installed a race air filter and my 2010 XB1200 really woke up, more revvy but more viby. I heard the Drummer pipe will make even more vibes and add performance. Is this true?

Um...lets see...

1. You allow more air in...but don't give it more fuel...!?

2. You want to put a free'er breathing exhaust system...don't give it more fuel...and are asking if will make it vibrate more...!?

Come-on, you gotta be smarter than the machine.

Air/fuel/exhaust

If you change one, you need to change them all.

Check out American Sport Bike's exhaust shootout....I beleive they tested the drummer & drummer ss with a highflow filter ( open airbox mod) and a stock ecm..........If I read it correctly it made more power/torque with the stock ecm than it did with a race. I personally ride a 04 XB12R with the drummer ss & a highflow buell race filter and a stock ecm. I have had no issues with running lean (that I know of), running hot, popping on accel/decell......seems just fine to me and is more fun to ride. Im sure a "custom" tune and dyno time would liven her up some, but Im happy with her the way she is.
