In reference to the question, the 'power curve' is to equalize pressure and soundwaves, basically. If I'm not mistaken. I'm definately no exhaust expert or expert on any subject matter. I will do a search on the bassanis, because I can't remember where I read this. Also, check out nightrider.com. They have an article in the cafe, which has dynos on certain exhaust setups. Peak hp, torque, and at different rpm ranges. Worth a look. I think they have a link to Bassanis. I sort of think that they are made by python. Again, I have done alot of research and it all runs together. Start with that. Also, JandPcycles.com offer them on line. Check them out. I will go with the slip-ons, with the stageI conversion after I break in my bike.
By the way, just paid for my 2002 RK on friday. Should hit the dealership around the middle of Sept. Getting a guy I know to pick it up in Oct. Only charging me $95.00 to do so. Not too bad, considering it is fourty-five min.s one way from the dealership to home. I won't get to see it or sit on it until 31MAR03. That is supposedly when I ETS. I hope everything goes alright here so I can ETS on time.(Got TOO MUCH ON MY PLATE.

: Other priorities to take care of. You know what I mean?) J.T.
