The real advantages are in weight savings and sound (for those looking for that).

I also found that my stock exhaust got slightly louder after the 3 day HPDE. Perhaps the accumulated time above 5K rpm reduced the some of the muffling effect of the stock exhaust ever so slightly.

I suppose if I could find an exhaust that was loud above 5K but was quiet at lower rpm, I would consider it. However, I think Id have to experience it first hand before investing that kind of cash.
