Beginner question...

I know this is going to be a bit incongruous in a forum dedicated to exhaust mods, but...what's the point of putting on a new exhaust?

Heh, this isn't a bit of trolling, I just don't know.

I'm by no means an expert, but I'll have a stab at this one.......

1, Makes the engine flow better (normally combined with air filter/fuelling mods) = a little more HP

2, Reduce weight

3, Nicer/louder sound

4, Bling

Yep pretty much what all has been said.

On the XT range the HP gain is suppose to be small but on other bikes for eg a suzuki bandit changing the exhaust can get around 8-10bhp with changing anything.

Also more torque in there with Bhp.

Bling is always a big factor

I wander the other way to be honest - the quieter and less bling the better for me.

I doubt a change would make a vast difference in weight, and staying off the beer for a couple of weeks would be substantially more effective, heh.

I'm doing a trip around Europe in summer, so I'll ponder the full air filter / fuel / exhaust changes then. :)

I think there's a difference of around 8kilos between standard and a set of CCC's.

Doh, didn't realise he was asking about the Z.
