$300 seems extremely cheap for a full system. They may look good on the outside but it is very unlikely to be a decent quality steel and the welds could protrude into the pipe causing turbulent flows and pressure drops etc. Pipe bends may not also be mandrel bent which will also restrict the flow of the exhaust.
I’m sure it will make your bike louder, I question whether it will go any better.
Just my 2c
Yeah I am with moto, expect for the part that only Wings and Akrapovic exhausts increase power on a KTM, I am sure others well made well known brands would as well (unless the dealer that told you only sold Wings and Akrapovic exhausts and then its probably true
)You get what you pay for, thats my 3 cents worth

It does have more moving parts to maintain, but in reality it would need servicing very little.I have now ridden all of the Jap bikes and a few European bikes and I haven’t noticed any real difference or deficiencies with the PDS. I agree with rocket in that I think the forks could be better since most Jap bikes I’ve ridden seem to be plusher, then again I haven’t got my forks sorted yet.
All the people that seem to complain about PDS seem to throw the motorcross/supercross thing out there when they themselves have probably never seen a supercross track, let alone ridden one.
If it’s good enough for the WEC it’s good enough for me.
