You might want to take a look at this thread > http://motorbicycling.com/f4/expansi...ers-12490.html and if it doesn't help use the search feature, key word, 'expansion'. I think you'll find some very good information easily available.

they work. but just punching out the stock mufflers has worked well for me that is drilling holes not only the end caps but internaly ya the get loud no louder than the herd of harleys, bought a tuned from spookytooth, just to tight for my builds barely rubbed the front tire but did increase power, no more than opening the stock muff up the units that are high up against yer leg seem to get better reviews

Old 2 smoke tuner books usually have basic designs. Now there's software simulators but back in the day it was trial and error. It can be a lot of tuning work and you really want to have spare jets in different sizes! HuckerSteve likes his Sick Bikes ex chamber and his bike is rediculously fast!

a bigger difference than anything else you can bolt on..... if done properly, it can create as much as 6psi of vacuum or pressure to "supercharge" the motor during a specific rpm range. but there is more to it than a longer header or holes in the stock pipe.
