I would agree with sconeroll that 4 into 1 is preferred for top end power and 4-2-1 will improve the mid-range more than 4-1. But my experience with the Muzzy, was improvement over stock system thru out the rev range. I never put it on the dyno, so I have no hard numbers. Years ago, I know Ivan tested exhausts on the early R1s and his best HP numbers were with 4-1 and only Akra and Muzzy made them. He developed and sold jet kits for 4-1. Just a side note, it sounds real nice at high rpms.
