Apart from a better sound, there is an increase in mid range power after rejetting with the included jet kit (use the biggest jet in the kit). The muffler is quite a bit lighter because its smaller and made of aluminum. Seems like mpgs are the same or slightly less; 40+. The only other thing to say is that it looks better than factory.
I have the same kit from KLR650.com. With the pipe, jet kit and air filter I see just a hair under 60 miles per gallon on two lane highways. The Avon Gripster tires and 1 tooth bigger sprocket on the front seems to help a little to.
Thanks for the compliment. The old KLRs run really rich, apparently, so a re-jet is not necessary. As far as an increase in power, i dont think i noticed any. I think i just ride it harder and faster now cause is sounds great! I got the kit from klr650.com. The kit included: K&N air filter, jet kit, and jardine rt-99 exhaust for about $450. I put the filter and pipe on and will likely do the jet next season. Supposedly i will notice a power increase(and fuel loss) after the jet install.

What does this pipe do apart from the noise? Heard about better mpg? What about weight? Looks quite heavier than stock.

Just under 60 MPG? Wow. Ive been consistently running around 45 MPGs for as long as ive owned the bike.

Finally a great comparison video... Thank you!!!! Do you have to re-jet carb?? Did it give you any more usable power???
