My 2008 had a gut cat stock header and a right side only Scopion slip on and made 175 on the dyno.
I put on a Leo Vince full SS with a carbon can and the Butt Dyno says it has more usable power in the bottom / middle which is my playground AND it is quieter.

Also looks better but I did have to get a centerstand stop welded on it.

Wish you had said something. There is a centerstand stop made for the ZX14 which attaches to the centerstand right perch (mounting point, outside, between it and the exhaust tube, two #6 bolts) and then you don't have to weld one to your exhaust system.

Have one on mine and its great. I couldn't have welded a stop to the CT-Duals anyway, nobody in my area including my nephew the welder (only welder at Manitowac - cranes, etc. - certified to weld boom to base) can weld titanium.

But I really respect your thinking on what made you choose your exhaust system, those things are important to me too.

Did kawasaki make the CS stop that can be orderd thru them?

I work with a harley guy that has a small machine shop in his garage and he said just bring the bike over and he would make one. For $20 who can complain and he did it from the bottom side of the pipe so you can see no discoloration from the weld.
