I'd have to agree with you about the exhaust.
I removed mine for a bit - just to see what the difference was. I swear it ran like a raped ape, and I was doing 75 (real mph) easily without any changes to the gearing. I also noticed that I was undershifting it.... The engine is designed to have max torque at about 6K rpm. When I started letting the engine wind up before shifting to the next higher gear, there was a noticable improvement on how the bike handled (albeit - at the loss of mpg).
