What header/pipe combo would work best with Novarossi Bonito XLBS? Looking for good balance between torque, top speed and runtime. I am on Novarossi plus 4BTT right now and I already have 41021, 41020 header and 9901, 2096, 9886 pipe.

I am happy with the tunability and stability of my BTT, I could accelerate in an instant from 15 second dead stop, idle all day upside down or upright, never ever flame out during an hour main race, things that I couldn't do on an OS, but no matter what I tried and how much I spent on pipes I could never get it to have the pop I am looking for, I couldn't clear jumps that I could clear easily with my stock blue head OS XZB on 2060. The BTT is just wayyy too tame for my demand.

I know from this thread that 41001 header will give the BTT more pop I am looking for, but I can sell my BTT easy and since the local dealer is having crazy sale, with the money I get from my used BTT and for just a little more I can get a brand new Bonito XLBS with new header and pipe of my choice. I assume a BTT with 41001 header will still be not as quick as a Bonito, did I assume right? Clocked BTT is not an option on this side of the world.

I know it is a heresy to talk about OS here, but I need honest opinion. Durability aside, but how do you compare stock Bonito XLBS and OS XZB Speed? Pop Off the line, mileage, top speed....

TIA
