Well here's what each of them do and IMHO is it worth it? For the time, effort, and cost I don't think it would be worth it.

* the below information is someone else's explanation, I just copied and paste the info so people can know what it is.

Flapper Mod: http://www.919.org/flap.htm
Simply put, the Flapper Mod allows the flap on the R32's exhaust, which is always closed at lower revs (to let poor sleepy neighborhoods enjoy their peace and quiet), to open up while still running these lower rpms. The open exhaust flap now allows the engine to breath and roar like it does above 4,000 revs, and it also adds horsepower by reducing exhaust backpressure.

Pair Valve Mod: http://www.cbr929rr.com/pair.htm

Well, one reason is to stop backfiring on decel, another is if you plan on sealing your airbox and probably the best reason is to make it practical to correctly map your A/F ratio if you have any dyno tuning performed.

Oh, and you lose about 1.5 lbs of junk and make a very crowded area on the engine somewhat less cluttered . .

Klean Air Mod: it lets fresh air into the exhaust immediately after the exhaust valve. this helps burn unburned fuel before it goes to the cat or out the can.

The F4i doesn't have a flapper.

ok thanks for the info guys. i might test out the PAIR valve mod to see if it doesnt do anything. i thought that our bikes didnt have flappers but i just wanted to double check...

Hey guys,

Here is a thread that shows a pretty clean PAIR valve removal proccess. It is SUPER cheap also.

http://www.cbrforum.com/m_512968/tm.htm

Oh, as for removing the charcoal canister, do you just plug the vacuum lines that go up to this intake that came from the canister/sensor?

Thanks,

Josh

i did the pair valve mod on my bike.  definitely noticed an improvement in the lower half of the powerband.  i couldn't see hwo putting O2 in after the combustion chamber helps to "burn" fuel before the catalytic converter when converters use O2 (not all is consumed during normal combustion) to CATALYZE oxidation reactions with partially burned hydrocarbons.  if anything it would cause exhaust gas molecular weight to be lighter (less soot) and create less resistence as it is pumped out of the system.  I'm not a combustion physicist/engineer but i do have a strong background in chemistry and science.

i ended up removing the PAIR valve, and while it doesnt seem like there is a power difference, it does seem a little smoother at lower RPMs. i also just passed emissions without a problem, so it doesnt affect the emissions system on the bike that much....
