Full Race Exhaust Suggestions
 

Hey Everybody, I am new to this forum but have had my queen since 2007. I like to run out to the hills and river valleys on the weekends and have been considering a full exhaust system. Does anyone have suggestions for good systems or things I should be watching out for?

Was there a noticable performace gain with the new system?

Also my queen sees mostly daily street use, is a full race exhaust going to be too loud to live with?

Thanx

If I were you, I would only get a back box (silencer) on the road there's not much to gain from a full system and you'll need a power commender to sort the fuelling etc, so a silencer is best just put it on and away you go, pending on brand you could gain 1 or 2 hp, I personally like the akra hexacones or two brothers.

not necessarily, a remap of the existing ECU can also be done for a fraction of the cost of a PC.

Ok but do you see the point in a full exhaust system on a road bike?

Re: Full Race Exhaust Suggestions
 

I do, but then its likely a matter of personal preference.

Other benefits include weight saving and the sweet sound of a v-twin revving its nuts off ;-)

I have a Hindle system on a race bike, I probably wouldnt bother on a road bike as much as i would be tempted. I think better to throw the money at suspension components and tyres than a full race system.

The reason I was leaning to a race system is to shave a little weight from her. I am a firm believer that lighter bikes are more fun. Also who doesnt want to hear that motor a little better? Would a full system be too loud on the street?

No, I had a full akra baffleless on my zx6r and it was awesome but did need a pcIII for that, the system was on there when purchased otherwise I wouldn't have bothered as it was £1200.

I do however have twin akras baffleless on mt Tuono and that runs at about 105db on idle.

I was looking at teh Akra online and a yoshimura system at my local dealer. anyone have prefferances or gripes from one to the other?

Re: Full Race Exhaust Suggestions
 

No both very good exhausts although someone on her mentioned SV's don't gel with Akras?

Re: Full Race Exhaust Suggestions
 

i really do think that sv`s are light enough as it is on the road,would the extra weight saving really make that much noticeable difference?,on a track yes when every little saving is needed but for everyday riding surely not.as for sound when fitted with a good aftermarket can and compared to the standard i think you will be pleasantly surprised.
just my opinion for what it`s worth.
