SP exhaust on Strada

Just thought I would tell you of my thoughts after fitting an SP exhaust to my '94 Strada.
I was always unhappy with the standard exhaust, even after fitting Laser race cans. The engine would rev quite freely, but struggled once it got passed 9000 revs. Fitting a FIM chip helped but still not much happened at high revs.
In fact even on the track it was not worth revving passed 9500, it being better to change up.
A few weeks ago I finally got round to swopping the exhaust for an SP one I got the end of last year.
The change in behavior was dramatic. The exhaust sound is much deeper all through the rev range, but more importantly the engine will now reach 10500 quite easily under acceleration and with no apparent loss in the mid-range.
Apart from the exhaust and FIM chip the engine is completely standard.

I would say it is the best performance mod you can do to the standard 888.
