Hi, I added a pipe ( practically the same as yours ) and it was just noisier. Also, on the standard system it would rev easily at standstill. but the short link pipe seemed to strangle the bike. It gave me the opinion that the exhaust gasses flowed better on the standard set up. Strange, but true. Riding with the link pipe fitted made no difference apart from my ears needing plugs. I am now back on standard.
I went for a couple of rides. The muffler is virtually straight through as well and under acceleration I felt that it was too ruckus. But cruising was a nice drone sound. Cage drivers knew you were there and driving on the motorway next to concrete barriers it sounded even louder. The gasket was provided but seemed to be the wrong size for anything. The rear connection was a bit loose so I unwound the gasket and used one layer of it. This worked filling the remaining gap and allowing a tight seal. I have since sold the Benelli to a young guy and have a new Project Bike better suited for gravel road blasting.
I didn't notice a drop, nor did I notice an increase. What I got was a lot more noise under acceleration and crackle when engine breaking. I certainly sounded faster.
I'm having a crack for a bit of fun. Note I don't ask anyone to subscribe or like nor am I going to get upset with negative comments or dislikes. It's just an extension of what I do for friends and family on Facebook. Why don't you have a go at it too?

I actually sold the bike not long after and got a SWM Superdual that was better suited for the gravel roads.
nice sound
Hey mate. Have u gone out for a ride since u have installed it? Where did u install the gasket that was provided?
Good info thus far
Cheers

Did you get a check engine light after this?
No engine lights displayed but I also sold it not long after. It was to noisy and I got a bike better suited for gravel roads
