exhaust restriction = Hp loss? 07 800r

[c-bolt]

so I was putting a can on my sled the other day when I noticed the stock can had a flat spot in the front of it. it probably restricted about 1/6th of the diameter of the exhaust.

question...how much had this hurt my performance. Does this explain why I couldnt run the amount of weight that I should have. it seems like I was running about 4 grams less pin weight than I should have been.

this would probably explain my off idle lean bog,

what do you guys think

I may get more out of this mbrp can than I expect...

here are the pics

I don't think that would cause any loss in performance, riding in deep snow would restrict your exhaust just as much or more.

I could be wrong though, so the best thing to do is fix the dent and go ride, then we'll all know
