Block off plates

... and to think some owners (not just CB owners but all makes and models) just rip all these earth-saving-related components out so to gain a few horsepower, and in some cases, an extra +40 dB of rumble.

Blocking the pair makes the bike run smoother. It does not effect power.

Removing the cat does make power.

If you think any of that is 'saving the world'...you should never own a weedwacker, ride in an airplane, get anything delivered by truck (both big rig and ups/fedex)...and certainly not take a cruise ship. The difference in scale is enormous.

I removed the entire OEM exhaust system when I installed the Akrapovic Exhaust system & K&N Air Filter. It does have popping on slowing down. So I need to find a way to block the system, correct?
