I found the most noticable increase in grunt came when I changed exhausts from a 4-1 and put the standard 4-2 pipes on.  Although I lost that "hit" of accelleration in the mid range. the overall power curve was constant with top end being the best.

Eddy I reckon the old iron bark sleeper would go well with either type of system on it  :-X

Yeah,  but the 4-2 is a lot smoother and keeps the front wheel on the deck.
