T180985 Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 looking to replace my exhaust within the next few weeks with a new full system and it seems the materials of choice are either Stainless Steel or for a few hundred more Titanium, i just wondered is it really worth going for the titanium i presume there arnt any benefits other than bragging rights and maybe being a few grams lighter?

Stu Posted September 1, 2009 Posted September 1, 2009 your getting a full system ? not just the end can ?get saving for a power commander a K&N and some dyno time then but yeah Ti is just a bit lighter bragging rights and goes a nice colour when gone through a few heat cycles Quote

Stu Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 if you are getting a power commander and full system you may aswell get a better filter too and dont use the map thats available every bike is different get a custom map Quote
T180985 Posted September 2, 2009 Author Posted September 2, 2009 ah ok fair enough, well they seem cheap enough i suppose just wondered is there going to be a huge amount of difference in quality etc between Arrow, Akrapociv and Yoshimura exhausts? these are the 3 ive found which i like the look of Quote
Stu Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 hmmm i have always said the with akra you are paying for the name yoshi is a bit similar just not as pricey well bike dependent!!!arrow arent too bad quality of them all will be good how much power they release will be a different matter if you get the full system ideally you need to get the power commander at the same time and fit them both and have them set up a full system will allow the bike to breath miles better and cause it to run lean which isnt good Quote

Guest akey Posted September 2, 2009 Posted September 2, 2009 thats why you need a custom map, if you get a full system and air filter then get a custom map, and the operator will set it all up for you so you get the right fuel air ratio accross the rev range. Quote
T180985 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Posted September 3, 2009 ok no problem, any idea what i would be charged for a custom map? £300? Quote
Stu Posted September 3, 2009 Posted September 3, 2009 ok no problem, any idea what i would be charged for a custom map? £300? less then £300 expect it to be about half that Quote
