Changing the can will give you some combination of three things:
  • different sound
  • different look
  • possibly lighter weight
There will be little to no change in performance. If you want different performance you'll have to replace the cat and headers with a Y-pipe. That can move the torque curve. Overall performance as measured in peak horsepower might actually be less. Only a dyno session will tell you for sure.

I changed my exhaust for a Leo Vince SBK and my GSA sounds better ,plus I don't have people pulling into my lane now since they can hear me.

Default Extra money for no gain?

It beats me why people change the exhaust on these bikes. Why spend a fortune on new parts that offer nothing in the way of fuel ecconomy, or performance.
If people keep pulling into your lane when you are riding, i don't think a new exhaust will change that, maybe invest in a "how to ride" dvd would be money better spent.
