Would really like to learn how the RS-12 design works, listening to Weege spray pump about how good the RS-12 design works.
Is it some kind of completely new type of exhaust system/muffler?
Or is it just a "refined" take on your standard 4 stroke sized can with a perforated core surrounded by packing?… . I think its about time SOME new technology in the form of 4 stroke exhaust systems is due. Hell, it looks like the OEM's have really stepped their game up over the last 5 or so years and bikes bone stock are coming with stock exhausts that (from what I've read) are becoming more and more difficult to improve upon which is good. Its already insulting, the prices being charged for an aftermarket exhaust full system is 3x - 5x the price of a 2 stroke system comparatively speaking.
After spending $10,000 on a new dirtbike, I'm sure that the last thing on a new bike customers mind is spending ANOTHER $1,000 for an exhaust with very marginal gains or a pipe that has zero gains and shifts your existing power characteristics or power curve up or down 500rpm. Typically the DO save a decent amount if weight but that juice isn't worth the squeeze for meh… ..not to mention the guys that buy an exhaust strictly bec it "Looks Siiiccck"
IMO with the staggering and perpetually always rising price of the exhaust systems sold by aftermarket mfg's are LONG overdue for an outside of the box thinking advancement. I couldn't tell you what they should do but it seems as though the market has become stale and some kind of gimmick that actually WORKS would rejuvenate that part of the aftermarket. Im fairly confident, the single largest aftermarket market share goes to exhaust pipe mfg's I'm sure its a lucrative market for companies like PC, FMF, Yosh, Bills, Rocket… ..etc
