I see the new 2016 GSX R1000 has a similar sheet metal clamp on exhaust to the pair we have on our bikes -
Any idea the purpose of these?

I thought our bikes had equalising pipes?
I think I read that their is some sort of valve in the new GSX-R exhaust system, maybe the clamps is to hold it still relative to the engine?
