【SP Tadao】POWER BOX Pipe Review
It's as good as they say.
In terms of power, it's that feeling you get when you reduce the FSprocket by 1T.
You get that Torque feeling at 2500-6000 RPMs, which makes it much easier to ride on pavement while maintaining the NORMAL GEAR ratio.
However, if you really set it to Short (F13, R42, etc.) for Off, it will quickly go over 6,000 RPMs and pass the delicious point.
It's not Engine Displacement VolumeUp, so it's not going to be torque fully across the board.
In my case, eventually Silencer was exchanged and the connection to the top became good, but this is only a bonus. First of all, I recommend the replacement of PowerBox only.

It'll be a little easier.
It can be done by anyone who has experience in this field, since all you have to do is remove the OEM exhaust pipe and exhaust system and then install them. In my case, the exhaust system was replaced because the rust had progressed to the point where the exhaust system was installed. Therefore, the comparison between the old and the new is ambiguous.
I think there is an effect of the Exhaust System, but before the replacement, the Motorcycle was good at running slowly at 60 km/h at low rpm, but after the replacement, it changed to a fairly high rpm high-speed type. I can run at low speed, but I have to lower the GEAR more often than before.
As a result, it is highly recommended for those who want to go fast and furious. For those who want to drive in a relaxed manner, OEM is considered better.

First Full Exhaust System conversion
If I had to choose, I chose the SP Tadao PowerBox.
It is about 3/2 lighter in feel compared to OEM.
The OEM was prone to rust, but this one looks very nice.
The sound changed to dry and the idling sound became Large. When turned all the way up, the sound is rather large.
I don't know about changes in Torque or Power yet, but I didn't feel like I was down.
Fuel consumption remained unchanged. It still ran about 32 km per liter.
Even if there is no Power-like change, I am personally very satisfied.

Tadashi's Struggle to Develop Exhaust System

I think everything written in the "Mere Old Man" is honest.
Originally, when turning at an intersection in 3rd gear, it was difficult to accelerate and Downshift was necessary, but after installing the PowerBoxPipe, it is possible to go in 3rd gear.
At rpms above 6000 rpm, the engine seemed to be stuck in a spinning pattern, and the rpm increase did not seem to follow the sensation of rotation.
From city driving to high speeds, mountain passes, and all other scenes, the sensation is better. In other words, it feels great! It is now so much better than before.
The only drawback is that the smell of the waste Gas is very bad.
The work can be done by one person, but liquid Gasket is required separately.OEM Material:AluminumGasket is disposal.
