The R&D SXR 2.250” High Flow Rear Exhaust Kit is a “Must Have” kit for better Holeshot and Top End Performance! The high flow kit is designed to be used with High Performance power adders like camshaft kits, and 14-1 Piston kits. The R&D Kit will add a huge difference in “Holeshot” low end and midrange acceleration by eliminating exhaust back pressure.
