Hey guys, I'm considering adding a super trapp exhaust to my valk, but it's a pretty big chunk of change, so I'm trying to figure out if it would be worth it.  From what I've been able to get from this and other forums I guess I can expect a modest hp gain, maybe not enough by itself to justify the cost.  But with a signifigant weight savings it would probably be worth it.  I contacted super trapp but they couldn't tell me the weight savings, all they could tell me was the weight of their system.  The rep said their systems shipping weight is 22 lbs.  Can that be right?  22 lbs. seem awfully light.  Does anyone know the weight of the super trapps, and better yet, does anyone know the weight savings I could see by installing it?  Any info would be appreciated,  Thanks!

Go to Rattlebars.com and snoop around.  I seem to recall Chet Walters going this route and talking about the weight reduction of Supertrapps from OEM.  Terry

I was curious and sniffed around rattlebars site also. Anyone know for sure if the supertrapp exhaust has larger primary header tubes? It's says yes on rattlebars site. I've been hoping for a run of the viking exhaust for that very reason but if it doesn't happen maybe I'll go this route.... Roll Eyes
