   I've fitted my Janspeed mani & my kamracing exhaust today, and it doesnt seem to be very raspy/popping. it only makes a noise when you go upto like 5000 revs. Whys this?

   Was it just the back box or was it a center section also?

   is it all sealed properly? ie no leaks because I would have thought that would stop it too

   What fuel you running? 95/97/99?
   
   When I use 95 or 97 it pops a lot but when I run her on 99 she doesnt, it runs nicer to.

   Make sure it's not blowing from anywhere.
   
   Did you use all new gaskets and clamps?

   I didnt use any new gaskets, the exhaust gasket i bought didnt fit so i just put the old one back on, but everywhere is sealed, i think. I'll double check tomorrow.

    It's a good it's not popping means its running clean not over feuling etc, which is a good thing.
