After putting louder pipes on my 08 RSV I noticed I was getting about 8 mpg less than my stock pipes. I decided to put the stock pipes back on.

When you change out your stock muffs to RK's or other brands, it's advisable to re-sync the carbs. This might have something to do with fuel mileage drop and 8mpg is quite a lot IMO.
