If they're concerned about "spinning mass" I'd think that a more 
beneficial change would be a new set of rims.  It should make the bike 
handle better (less unsprung weight) which in my opinion would be of far 
greater value than an additional 10hp peak.  It would also be interesting 
to look at the effect of the exhaust on the whole power curve rather than 
the peak number.  I've been told, but never personally verified, that 
some mods that increase peak horsepower can have an adverse effect on the 
lower section of the power band.

My 2¢,
