Sure thing. Think of the exhaust as a river. If you narrow the bank in just the right spot, the water speeds up without piling on extra weight. A lightweight, low‑backpressure header with a slightly larger diameter than the stock can pull more air through, but you must keep the downstream restriction low. Add a tuned catalytic converter that’s almost invisible in mass, or replace the muffler with a straight‑through, short‑lapped design so the exhaust pulse stays sharp. Keep the air‑fuel mixture a tad lean at high RPM, but stay within the knock limit. The result: a few more Newton‑meters of torque, a subtle lift in horsepower, and a cleaner night‑time roar that doesn’t weigh you down. Just don’t forget to keep the engine’s cooling in check – otherwise the whole system will heat up faster than your curiosity.

Sounds like a solid plan – clamp the headers tight, adjust that spark, and you’ll get a night‑time surge without the day‑time weight penalty. Just remember: a good clamp is the only thing that beats a spinning bolt when the engine’s humming at high RPM.

Sounds like a plan—tight clamps, proper heat shielding, and the engine will stay cool even when you’re squeezing every ounce of power out of it. Keep it tight and the night will stay yours.
