Brock doesn't really blow his hand off in the video, just his glove...

I'll bet it still hurt, though...

Its interesting to note his story about dragging a Hayabusa. It appears that putting on a pipe would have a negligible effect for street riding. Lowering the chassis and working the clutch gives a huge improvement comparatively.

I've thought for a long time that these aftermarket pipes mostly give such a marginal improvement that the cost doesn't justify it unless you are racing professionally. Is 4 hp worth $700-$1000? I think not.

Most people put on a pipe first 'cause it looks or sounds cool. That money would be better off spent on suspension and other improvements.

Chain smoking tires. That's the funniest thing I've heard in awhile, thanks.

A Yosh pipe and $12.00 worth of jets netted my 02 SV650S a 12 horsepower gain! I think YES.
