This may have been rapped on before yet could find little info on personal experience.
I was told I would lose engine braking when I put on a performance exhaust. I love the engine braking on my FZ1 but need (not want) a louder exhaust than stock so I...

Not sure why you "need" a louder exhaust, but ok .
With engine braking, I always activate my brake light anyway by pulling the front brake lever in slightlyIt won't change engine braking one bit.

I bought a 2012 800XP EPS last week and love it except for no engine braking. Can you put the engine brake system that is on the HD models on the XP? If so would that void the warranty? I don't want to put the DDP kit on it as that would void the warranty...

Given that diesel motors are inherently so efficient and don't generate much engine braking even at higher revs, is there any point in downshifting for a steeper gradient? Or does one simply rely on the brakes for prolonged mountain descents?

When engine braking is occurring, is it the same as using the rear brake?
I had my first track day on Friday, and am now obsessed with trying to figure out everything about how bikes work, fastest lines, how and when to brake/shift, etc. Still curious...

Do you guys drop all the way to first when you're engine braking to a complete stop? I wonder 'cause I usually stop at second gear and then let my brakes do the rest. It always feels a little strange when I do try putting it in 1st at around 15mph; like...

It doesn't matter what slows your back wheel, the engine and the brake do the same thing when you are slowing.
engine braking will wear the rear any more than rear braking.

My '00 Forester burned through about a 1.5 quarts of oil during a ~700 mile trip this weekend. A lot of my driving was down steep gravel mountain roads where I left the car in 1st or 2nd gear (manual transmission) to keep the speed down without overheating...

Just by habit I let off the throttle while in traffic though I notice people get too close for comfort as my brake light isn't lit up.

For normal city traffic, tooling along in 3rd seems to work best .
A lower gear will provide more engine braking.
I try to engine brake more these days.
It doesn't slow you much and you engage your brake light.
