Underseat pipe costs weight bless its ti, as you need more pipe work I reckon than a simple out the bottom can

Weight becomes an issue if 2 fairly equal riders and one has considerable weight difference. And it must be true that's all they talk about on Eurosport with moto 2!!

Na the pipe lengths are designed to be the same so you just lose the weight of a can

Aparently if you tuck your elbows in it's worth 9 seconds a lap or something like that
