Dose anyone know how much difference aftermarket headers make on the late model CBR 1000, also can anyone recommend a good tuner in Perth for power commanders??

Dont bother with headers on anything post 2007. Factory headers are titanium (weight saving benefit gone from older types) and flow perfectly well for unopened engine (performance benefit gone from older types).

Go see Russ at Dynotime in Wangara, he is the one and only jap dyno tuner to use IMHO

Thats not true, The zx10r gen 3 (09-10) went back to stainless steel on their factory setup, previous years being Ti.

Also not true for an R1, its not only the weight saving but aftermarket headers remove the Exup valve.
