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

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.
