      1.First of all what kind of criticism u have been through.
      2.what was ur expectation form expansion chamber.
      3.for best results from EC u need to do some engine modification also cos EC 's are not kind of plug and play device.specially in 4strorke engine u need a serious modification like timing advance,inlet port extension,up jetting,freeflow filters and reworked cam,valve,rockers positioning n alteration and much more.

      this kind of work only done by a professional performance tuner.

        People laughed at me when they saw such a thing on my bike...even in my album, i have such comments.this was the criticism...
        i didn't know that the exhaust had an expansion chamber when i got it installed coz of lack of knowledge..my expectations were of more power and response with a free flow
        i already have k&n installed, upjetted but haven't got the internal engine modified...plz suggest a suitable mechanic for the same...also shud i get only the chamber removed by welding and replace it with a simple pipe or shud i get a new exhaust altogether?

          first of all google up!!! yeah thats your biggest tool nowadays . search for the products you need/have on the net to get more info about them.

          an expansion chamber is used in 2stroke engines as it is a fundamental part of the working of a 2 stroke engine.
          for a four stroke engine like the one in your bike instead of an expansion chamber you would need a free flow exhaust as a chamber would not help.

          do not and i repeat DO NOT get just a pipe fixed up because that will ruin both the performance and pollution control effectiveness of your bike. either get a proper free flow exhaust or shift back to the stock. also refer to other members for advice on aftermarket exhausts available in the market and the most suitable for your vehicle.
          I DONT GET ANGRY.
          I GET EVEN.

            same from my side,free flow's are louder then stock ones and some times they r only show off type,so think again before putting free flow in ur bike.for performance u ill have to do some basic modification in the engine.like timing advance,K&N,iridium plugs,spitfire cables,up jetting and ur going to fly.meet me in next g2g i ll show u a CBZ-x with all this type of mod and u ll satisfied by the bikes performance.

                I am one of them who has replied in your photo gallery

                Instead i would suggest this remove the existing catcons in your silencer and see the difference, this is the best and safest way for any 4 stroke bike.
