Exhaust Suggestions

[Justlar]

Trying to decide what to get, looking for comments on others and their full systems.
Looking for a full system, high mount, not 'super' loud, and I want to keep my rear peg. So far I think Leo Vince is going to be the best option. I heard an Arrow which sounded extremely nice (reminded me of a Duke), Micron was not too bad (loud). I believe I lose the peg with either one of these.
Anyone have good/bad things to say about Yosh. or any other systems?

Thanks.

[zunkus]

Check out www.Renegade.com You shouldn't look any further. My brother fitted a micron on his SVS but when he heard my Renie he ordered one immidiately. The micron is going on his second bike a Yamaha XJR400. Even Ducatisti are jealous. The only bike sounding better is Valantino's V5.

[linp]

I think there's a guy in SD who's selling his Leo Vince full system. Akrapovic makes a nice full system but I don't think it's a hi-mount. I've never heard one in person, so I can't comment on it. I have a Renegade slip-on, as I don't think the pipes themselves would make that much of a difference to warrant a full-system. It rocks. Where abouts in SD are you? Wanna go to Palomar Wednesday?

[Justlar]

Yeah, Lee's Cycles near Qualcomm Stadium has a lot of experience with the Leo Vince, it was there I heard the Arrow pipe. Akrapovic is quite nice although I would lose the peg and I am trying to keep it. A company in North County San Diego specializes in Akrapovic distribution, hotbodiesracing.com.
I am near Sea World and have not been to Palomar however can not make it on Wed. Would not mind seeing some other SV's, I got the TCP lowers, undertray and cowl and would like opinions from other SV owners.

Thanks.

[neattoes3000]

If you can make it down to Lees In SD go for it. They are very informative and they have lots of experience setting up SV for max performance. I was actually told that the Yosh pipes are great for every other Suzuki bike except for the SV. I was told to avoid it, and you don't keep the passenger pegs. The Micron system does, but the cyclye tuners at Lees told me that Leo Vince is one of the only pipes that give significant performace gains. I got my jetting down there too and it performs so much better. The Leo pipe is loud, but I love it. You do maintain the passenger pegs, and they don't charge more for the high mount. Everyone who sees it comments on the quality and how nice it sounds. I would definitely recommend the Leo full exhaust.

Craig

[SV Crazy RJ]

Yeah, what Justlar said is right. I spoke with Hugo from Lee's and he says the best way to go is with the Leo Vince. You get around a 5 HP gain, which is a lot for a bike! I am running a full system tri-oval from yoshimura. I looks and sounds really sweet but the there were minimal gains in HP, even with it re-jetted and an air filter! If I could start all over I would get the Leo, but what's done is done and I am still happy.

[cjdirtbiker]

I posted this up on the national site so you might see it there too.

I'm thinking real serious about the TBR aluminum slipon for 'bang for the buck' value. But are you guys running a cuttoff stock system with clamp-on can, or the full exhaust system with all new head pipes and collector?

What are the pros and cons?

Has anyone seen or run the Vance and Hines? I find the full system with aluminum can for $400?? Seems like it makes sense for a couple hundred to just get the whole system so the stocker can be put back on if needed or if the next buyer wanted it?

I should I think about the Yosh stainless can?

Thanks!:-?

[Seventh Trump]

I have been running the Vance and Hines full system for several months now, with the carb mods, and am very pleased with both the sound and performance gains. The stainless finish may not be as cool as the TI or carbon cans, but I will keep the saved money instead!:D

[Drumrboy]

I was in the same postion as you about going with a slip on or full system. Ultimately I decided to go with just a slip on as it just made more financial sense for me. I too looked at the TBR aluminum slip on for "bang for the buck" at parts411.com. Although I do my own servicing on my bikes, I generally like low maintenance and don't care for the idea of repacking the exhaust every now and then, which would be required for the TBR. Doing some more research, I found a Scorpion (British company) stainless slip on that has a limited lifetime warranty and never needs repacking according to the manufacturerswebsite (www.scorpion-exhausts.com). If I bought the TBR from parts411, total with shipping and tax to San Diego would have been about $284. I bought the Scorpion from www.discountmotorcycleexhausts.com for a total of $264 (shipping included, no sales tax as they are in Colorado). I should receive it next week and will post some impressions when I have it installed.

[Mapuda]

Anbody have any opinion about Dale Walker's Holeshot Performance? His website www.holeshot.com has a page for the SV. He has a high mount slip-on system for $379.00 and he sells the shims to set up your carb and his system also comes with a coupler that allows you to put your stock system back on for say a track day where they have db limits.

I was thinking of starting with his fender eliminator with the cat-eye blinkers. It is cheaper than the LP unit. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Drumrboy let us know how your Scorpion can works....and sounds!

[chacal]

I never thought much of the holeshot exhaust, the pictures weren't so good..but I saw one the other day on an SVS, and it was gorgeous. Very well put together.

His fender elim w/ the cateye blinkers looks really good. I can't decide whether i'm willing to give up the stock blinkers' visibility, but if I do, that's what I'm gonna buy.

Phil

[cjdirtbiker]

Steve, do you have any pictures of your bike with exhaust system? Is the V&H system all stainless?

I rode with a guy that used to work at V&H and he didn't recommend their system. But he was talking about the chromed headers, he said they used mild steel and the cheapest plater they could find. He said there were a lot of bubble problems.

However, the other fellow I rode with had a V&H system on his old FZR. It still looks good and he thought it was a great system.

Both of them recommended putting a whole system on and keeping the stocker, instead of cutting it off for a can and thus ruining it.

Now comes Holeshot. Yes I looked at their site, and I liked the idea of the sleeve connector so you could re-connect the stock muffler. But for almost $400, I would rather put another hundred or so with it and get a whole system. TBR sells a complete package for just over 5 bills I think, from parts411. I think the Yosh system is right in there too.

I appreciate the input. Keep it coming. The high end systems are really nice, like Micron, Muzzy, even Yoshimura. Some of them are REALLY expensive.

Thanks,

[Seventh Trump]

Chris,

I paid $360 for my V&H full system from Denton Cycle Supply and it has performed well beyond my expectations! The sound is very much like a Ducati and makes the SV the true "shrunken superbike" that it is. From a durability stainpoint, the headers turned purple at the cylinder connection very early and a beautiful gold color to the can. The can is still immaculate with no discoloration. I will not repack the can until 10K miles.

For the money and improvements on both sound and performance, along with the carb mods, I would very much recommend it. If I had access to a digital camera, I would post some photos, but I am out of luck right now.

Enjoy!

[Viniteio-181]

Everyone has their preference, but after fellow members informed me about Parts411.com, I've been looking at all of the lil beauties there are to offer.

After a few hours of looking and comparing, I narrowed it down to two choices. The Scorpion pipe (which some of us were admiring on that girl's (never caught her name) red 01 SVS @ the Gathering), and the trusty old Yoshi. Both have a very good price, and according to others (Mike), Yoshis are easier to install, since you don't have to cut the OEM unit. The only down side is that while $30-$40 separates the stainless versions, the Scorpion can be had for almost $100 less in carbon form - if you're so inclined. Personally, carbon wrapped pipes look out of place on the silver SVs, and I can't stand wiping off water spots and polishing those dastardly stainless units. So, titanium it is; the extra $60-$70 is definitely worth it to have a less troublesome, reasonably priced, yet sublimely attractive unit. I like the sound of the Scorpion....ohhh....and the Yosh is just as good if not better, but different. But, like many other things, you get what you pay for. Shop around.

[mistermiata13]

I've got the V&H full stainless system, K&N air filter and rejetted carbs. It feels very nice and is a noticeable boost in power throughout the rev range. IMO, it doesn't sound as nice as the Scorpion or Yosh RS-3, but it's a load cheaper and should produce similar power gains.

After the Gathering, I'm very tempted to sell my V&H full system and get a Scorpion slip-on. Hopefully that will pass...

Aaron

[cjdirtbiker]

Yep. Listened to and looked at them all at the Gathering.

I liked Aaron's V&H system, and the Scorpion, and the Yosh. Nothing wrong with Aussie's TBR can either. In fact, I haven't seen one I didn't like. And I can't tell much difference in sound from ANY of them. But then, I'm half deaf.

Anyway, my final decision will come down to whether I want to save a few bucks and cut off my stock muffler, or keep it as a spare to go back on if I need it to, hence a full system.

The V&H full system is BY FAR the best buy. And I haven not seen or heard of any complaints about their product. In fact, there are an awful lot of race bikes out there with V&H exhaust systems on them.

Bottom line is the bike looks better, sounds better, and goes better with ANY replacement for that tin can they put on from the factory.

yes I do..... :D

There will be a yosh mounted on my bike before too long. hopefully before my ride to Palomar on Sunday. They sound soooooo very sweet, I just got a lil carried away there. sorry. ;)

[mistermiata13]

Woops, that must be a glitch. At any rate, I do enjoy the exhaust!

Aaron

[GRich4u]

Hey gang, I was at the gathering and all the exhaust sounded good. I just got my scorpion pipe Tues, and like anyone else would have done I put it on the same nite. It sounds "juicy" as I put it. It was a slip-on and I cut the original pipe with my dremel. Only took about 1 hr total to do it. What was cool also is the pipe came with an extra piece in case I decided to put the original stock pipe back on.
Here is the website I bought it from. I called them direct, and it came here in exactly a week. Good price too. If anyone needs help with it I got a garage and dremel to help.
http://www.discountmotorcycleexhaust.com/

Good Luck

[Mapuda]

If I had unlimited funds I would love the dual renegade underseat setup YOW what a sound.

I opted for a can from Remus. I got it mail order from Maxmoto up in San Francisco. www.maxmoto.com. The guy I spoke to is named Helli. Very nice guy who spent some quality time on the phone with me to make sure I installed it correctly.

I love the sound and performance of the bike. I am going to 152.5 main jets, 3 turns on the air/fuel screw and the snorklectomy this weekend.

I don't have a picture of the can on my bike because by digital camera is a piece, but here is a photo that Helli sent me that clinched the deal for me.

[Mapuda]

Maxmoto also sells Bitubo suspension bits. Talk about pure sex metal magic!!!! Check these bad boys out.

[Kurt'sSV]

That's a nice looking pipe.

How many blades did that take?? I'm not sure on how tough the metal is that you have to get through. I'm looking at getting that same exhaust, so I'm trying to figure out if I want to do it myself or get it done. But if you got the tools and the time, I'd definitely appreciate the assist of someone who has already done it.................... and jet-kits,..........and tires,.........and sprockets,..........and undertails,......:D I've been doing a little looking online and it seems that these things aren't as expensive as I had originally thought, so they're on my shopping list now.:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[ward]

I'm really wanting to put a pipe on my bike too, maybe we should get a group O people and have a big pipe, jet and whatever party.

[chukiechz]

how much was that remus exhaust? Its very nice looking. Anyone know where to get sound clips of that one? I need to make my way to a get together so I can hear different exhausts

There's no Remus in there yet, but if you want to hear a bunch of other exhausts, check out the video clips here (http://www.socalsvriders.com/download.php?op=viewdownload&cid=4) in the Downloads section.

If ya haven't already checked it out...

[Justlar]

I found a sound bite for a Remus slip-on over at the SV650 UK site.
http://www.sv650.org/sv650_media.htm

Cheers.

[Mapuda]

Prices for Remus exhaust are on the Maxmoto.com website. I paid $500.00 for the carbon fiber can and the high connector pipe.
Installation was easy and they gave me a connector to reinstall the stock pipe if I needed to put it back on.

I will borrow a friends digital camera and talk to paul about uploading the clip to the site so you can hear it.

[robd]

Just bougth my 02 SV two months ago. I'm perfer louder exhaust pipes and currently looking for one. I heard the Renegade exhausts are louder than the stock exhaust and provides more power. Does anyone have any suggestions?

robd

[Guzzigirl2000]

I am partial to my Micron.
Paul took video/audio of several aftermarket exhausts. Click on Downloads (up top) and you'll see and hear what I mean.

Of course you could go on the 11/16 SD ride and check them out in person too.

[robd]

actually, i had planned on doing the SD ride. it'll be my first group ride.

[Burst]

one word......

YOSH!

I've got the Yosh RS-3 Full race carbon pipe. Sounds sweet. Not *too* loud but a whole bunch louder than stock. It has got a very nice ducati-esque sound to it.

[Gmoney]

Yosh NO WAY!

M4!

M4 i think its one of the loudest pipes on the market, for the sv. Also it gives you the most power gains. Just check out what the racers are useing. Most of the racing bike i have seen have the M4 full system.

[stough]

Everyone that I've talked to claims that D&D full systems are simply the LOUDEST!!! :D

They also have the advantage of being one of the cheapest. I'm looking for the quietest aftermarket exhaust which increases preformance, so it's not my thing...

Later,
Tim.

They're loud.. Crappy and loud. Ever hear a pipe that someone hasn't changed the packing in in 5-10 years? that is what a D&D pipe starts out sounding like..

-AaroN G>

[robd]

yes, I've heard others say D&D are one of the loudest but are in poor quality. On the other hand, Micron has good quality. I've read mixed reviews of Yosh. I think i'll go with either a Renegade, Scorpion or Micron.

[Punkbrad]

i liked the scorpion a lot. girl star has one on her bike, and it sounds badass.. looks good and is one of the cheaper ones too.. thats the one i want when ti comes time (probably never though)

Pb.

What was that you say?!?!............ You want a Chowder Lacrosse Pipe?!?!?

Renegade's are by far not the loudest that you can get, but they sound beautiful... Especially if you go with duals... Or dual underseats :D :D :D

I highly recommend them for their customer service as well, they really take care of people. Only problem is that you need to send your pipe in for surgery (unless you get the underseats), which means your without a bike, or you need to borrow an exhaust from someone on the list in the meantime...

Brad

[Chim Chim]

I've got an M4 Titanium on my SV. It sounds great, the workmanship is really nice and with a little rejetting using suzuki jets and washers, it pulls cleanly from idle.
My only two gripes are that you lose your passenger pegs (with the high pipe) and the hardware they ship with isn't stainless. What the hecks the point of a stainless sytems with rusty fasteners?
The Micron is also a great pipe. It sounds about as loud as the M4 when broken in, and the high pipe tucks in neatly behind the passenger pegs.

Chim Chim, is that a reference to Fishbone?

If so, then mad props.

maybe not the loudest but certainly one of the best - just look at the R&D that goes into Yosh's exhausts (http://www.yoshimura-rd.com/randd.asp) as compared to M4's.

Yosh's R&D is probably why they're not the cheapest either.

[bwarbiany]

I say just use a hacksaw and cut it off at the collector...

That's what I call a free-flowing exhaust :)

Brad

[Rocko]

Yo,

when you guys say "scorpion" do you mean akrapovic (the pipe with the scorpion on it)?

I think a lot of factory teams use akrapovic, which i guess means they're pretty good (better race results = more kawazuki sales) but they're pretty damn expensive.

I dunno, man, I would just check them out at the ride and see which one sounds the best to you.

[RACERX]

one word, two syllables " holeshot " best looking and quality plus not really expensive.

[ZombieDude]

Let me second young Racerx on his call for Holeshot. Smooth looks, nice quality and loud when you want it to be. Slowly rolling on the gass will sneak you away in the morning w/out setting off alarms. Nice deep "rolling thunder" sound at idle, and a "get the kids in the house, lock up your daughter, knew I should have tapped the windows" belch when you let the gass rip.

[Natedawgg]

I gotta put in my .02 here.

I gotta full stainless Yosh RS-3. It rocks. The sound is nice and full. Wonderful on deceleration - kind of a deep sputtery & poppitty sound. And, this is my favorite part, when I cruise around neighborhoods nice & easy like (no full-throttle here, I don't wanna piss anybody off or run over a child), car alarms always churp at me and occasionally full-on let loose.
:D
Fun.

And when I gas it in a tunnel or parking structure, I feel like da-man!

:D

Oh-yea.

[rb643]

Hey Rob,

Now that you heard several of the aftermarket exhausts today, which one do you like best?

[neattoes3000]

Forget everything all the others said...

Get a Leo Vince...Sure it is a little more expensive, but really nice quality and it is very loud. Don't let anyone fool you...If it looks like duc...it will sound like a duc. Thats right...No SV I have heard sounds like an Italian V-twin. The Leo pipes are great and loud...I got like a 10% increase in horse power, not flat spot in the torque curev, and I have the dyno charts to prove it. just be sure to get a full exhaust, so you can save some weight. The renegades are all slip ons and you have to cut your stock one. If you ever want to sell it, you will get more money if you keep all the stock bits...

Craig

[robd]

It was a great turnout for the SanDiego 16th ride. I really enjoyed seeing all the other bikes out there and thier mods. It gave me ideas on what to with my naked one. Also, Thanks everyone for letting me hear their exhausts. I've still got some months before I actually go out and buy one. After hearing the exhuasts, the decision is now even more difficult. I guess it's a matter of personnal choice now. But most likely it'll be a slip-on.

Again thanks everyone for your inputs.

Just for the record, Renegades come with an adaptor to put on your stock can anytime you want. Renegades:

1) Sound great,
2) Keep passenger pegs on high-mount, ( And low-mount )
3) Don't have to re-jet unless you want to,
4) Great customer service,
5) No 5-foot Japanese Characters/letters denoting who made the can,
6) Fair price,
7) Duals, single, high-mount, low-mount, round, oval..lots of choices
8) Good quality
9) Slip-on or full system available
10) Sounds great! :D
11) I haven't heard anything negative about ANY of the aftermarket pipes, so buy, have fun and ride safe...

Cheers, Doug

[voodoo1694]

i just ordered a titanium high mount oval rene (eventually going to be duals). It should get here by Friday.

Woohoo I'm excited:D

[SVTIM]

Phil-

Where did you get you Yosh can from and can you tell me what you paid as well. I am looking at getting an exhaust soon. Do you mind me asking why you went with a Yosh slip on insead of a full system?

Thanks

Tim:flag:

[chukiechz]

I posted this on the national site, thought Id post to get a local opinion.

OK, I wanna get a new exhaust. I have a quote from cycle center of denton for $560 for a micron carbon high mount.

I could also get a scorpion slip on for $340 delivered from pipe city.

Is a full system worth the extra $200 dollars? I really like the high mount, and I also like the fact that scorpions don't need to be repacked and a lifetime warranty. So can I get your opinions?

thanks

[Troy]

I've heard that the extra money you spend on a full system vs. a slip-on is not worth the gain in HP you'll realize. Instead, you could use the $200 you save, and invest in a jet kit. For less than $100, you'll have a product that improves power/torque more than headers will. I think others will agree with me, but then again, what the hell do I know??

Troy:D

[chukiechz]

I got the blinkers today BTW, thanks!!

[Burst]

Troy is correct. If you can find a highmount slipon that you like, that would probably be the way to go. The full systems typically only give a 1-2 hp advantage over a slipon.

You do save quite a bit of weight though. On the stock system, from the collector back, it is all double wall stainless with a thin layer of packing in between. Not to mention that the head pipes on the stock system use a heavier guage of stainless.

Is it worth the money? That depends..... do you have the money to spare?

[Kurt'sSV]

I'm not in any rush to get an aftermarket pipe because their hp gains are minimal. Better forks will make you go way faster. So if you want a pipe for the cool sound they make, just get the can. Unfortunately Micron will not sell you a can only because they "do not like to ask their costumer's to hack their bikes", so I would go for the Scorpion.

[chukiechz]

weight isnt an issue (I weight like 130 lbs). Money is. I could use the money to get an undertail if they're ever ready!! :) So it seems like its about $100 a pony eh? Maybe I'll just find a slip. I like the sound of the carbon yosh, but its almost the same price as the full Micron.

[chukiechz]

oh and Im mainly motivated by the sound , not the speed increase :D

[Chowder]

going back to the previous post, i suppose it doesn't matter which manufacturer? i keep hearing scorpion and yoshi thrown out there the most when it comes to slip ons. i think exhaust is the first thing i'm going to change also. (if i don't get the frame sliders first)

which do y'all think is the best valued? or best choice? or best sounding? scorpion or yoshi?

[Kurt'sSV]

Well Renegades have a great sound and the M4 is just loud to name two others.

[Troy]

Dude, like the others have said, you don't gain much hp, plus, being 130lbs already gives you a power/weight ratio advantage.

So, save a couple of bills on the headers and spend it on suspension work (probably could re-valve the forks for a lot less than $200-that'll make ya faster in the turns), or buy a cool motorcyclist air bag.

Troy

[ward]

You can get that Scorpion for 264 at discountmotorcycleexhaust.com

[chukiechz]

OK slip on it is. Now to see what I can find in a high mount. Anyone have quick suggestions so I dont have to dig and research??:D

[Setter32]

Now to see what I can find in a high mount. Anyone have quick suggestions so I dont have to dig and research??

I've just been shoppin for a high mount myself.......

...ended up buying a Leo Vince high mount slip on.......for ~$330......

...incidently.......with the Leo.........you don't have to mess with your passenger pegs.....or rear blinkers.....




:D

[RACERX]

holeshot or nikko have the nicest high mounts on the market. I will be doing R&D for rumbleimport.com on the nikko exhausts. So i will post the gains
Later
Cory

[chukiechz]

setter: is that a stainless can? Do they offer it in CF? How accurate is the sound compared to the clip on the site? Also, where did you get it.

racerx: the nikko ones I see on ebay have gotten my attention, just waiting for someone to be the guinea pig! Hurry and test it out!!!

[Troy]

don't they make r/c cars??????:tired:

[RACERX]

nikko exhaust and nikko r/c are two seperate companies. One is french and one is japanese.
Chuck, Just waiting for shipment then I will post pics,dyno results, and hopefully sound (paul can you help a brother out).
You can buy them on ebay or directly from them. They are awesome guys over there. Also I will see if I can get a couple of cans to sell very cheap to the socal group.

Chuckie baby...

is that a stainless can? Do they offer it in CF? How accurate is the sound compared to the clip on the site? Also, where did you get it.


Yes I bought the stainless.........the cheapest one.........tee hee...........:o

....but they do have them in carbon fiber.........tres sheek.....

...dun't know how they sound...etc...etc.............because I've just bought them........and they haven't been delivered yet.....

Where I got it = http://www.indysuperbikes.com/Isb1/Indysuperbikes%20Frame.htm

It's kinda hard reachin them.....or him (seems like there's only one person working there)......but keep on tryin...........you can also leave a message.....

hey setter thanks. I decided to get the carbon fiber one from pipecity.com $400 shipped!!. Should get here the day I get back from vacation. Now I got 10 days to explain this to my wife.

umm, can I stay at your place then when she kicks me out?

Actually, I found a full yosh carbon high mount system on the svrider classifieds for $250. Im going to try and cancel the pipecity order. If I cant, then I guess I'll try and sell it on my own.

[Viniteio-181]

Okay, here's my suggestion (courtesy of Mike aka BUYMENOW00)

Brands:
Yoshimura - best value...easily configures with SVs. I live @ 2500ft above sea level, which compensated for the resulting leanness, but rejetting still wasn't necessary...but I wanted it, and just finished it this morning. :D If that's not your bag, Scorpion, Muzzy, and Micron are good bets.
Here are some of the places I perused in my search:
www.parts411.com
www.starcycle.com
www.discountmotorcycleexhaust.com
www.motoperformance.com


Finishes:
Titanium (what I have)...scratches can be wiped away (literally - they give you a scrub pad), matches ANYTHING, and has most of the strength and corrosion resistance of stainless, yet a lot of the light weight of carbon. **Carbon is crummy...scratches easily and can't be fixed, doesn't match most paint schemes, is too expensive in most cases, and isn't much of a weight savings over Titanium**

System:
Slip-On. If you're not racing the bike, and will USE the extra airflow, weight savings, and minimal HP increase, keep the money and buy 10 other things. It really is about $150 for each xtra pony.

I took Mike's suggestion and bought the Yosh Tri-Oval standard mount...you will crash the bike (or be on your knee pucks) b4 that pipe will touch the ground, so the high mount is kindofa waste in that case. Any other pipe, though...yeah, I'd get it. Good luck whatever you pick. ;)

[SVTIM]

Troy-

What made you go with the Yosh pipe and not the Scorpion or Renegade? I was just curious. The Scorpion pipe sound makes my mouth water, but is the quality the same as the yosh? Can you tell me what your carb and jet settings are at? Thanks.

Tim,
I dig the Yosh logo.

Seriously, the Rene was more than I wanted to spend, and I hadn't heard the Scorp before. I had heard the Yosh, and I liked it. 140 mains, 17.5 pilots, 2.5 turns out.

Troy

[SVTIM]

May I ask where you bought your carb stuff from and how much you paid. I am doing my 600 mile service and I think I am ready to tear into my carbs now. I like the look of the yosh, but I like the sound of the scorpion. Decisions, decisions.:D

It was a xmas gift, but I've seen them online for around $70. Mine is a Factory Jet Kit 1.0. It was pretty easy, with the right tools and guidance. Only tricky part for me was removing the fuel screw plug. Ended up drilling the plug till there was nothing left. All that was left fell right out.

[peaty]

ok here's the thing im looking into getting a slip-on exhaust. i've narrowed it down to the 2 bros C2 or the yosh tbr. now the thing is i've heard the sound clips and was wondering which one would be a deeper sound? im not looking for anything super loud or annoying. thanks for the help. also i've read that with the 2 bros hi mount i will loss the passenger peg. any way to avoid this?

[airman9]

Tom, I thought with both of those you lose the pegs.... Those were the first two I was looking at getting.... As for sound I have heard them both in person and I think the two brothers is the best sound... I believe Aussie used to have it and everytime he started his bike I was like WOW!!!! But, that is only my opinion in a sea of many...

[peaty]

ohh yes the mysterious leovince. that would be a great choice but a certain friend of mine got the leo high mount.*cough airman* so thats out of the question. that bastard. :D

[kcsport]

I got the race. I really think it sounds great. The guy I ride with has a scorpion and he likes the yoshi also. The scorp. is a tiny bit louder but the yoshi has a fuller tone.

[peaty]

kcsport: thanks for the reply. also what is your jetting like? is the gas mileage good? i know with more performance you lose economy just trying to keep it at a minimum.


tom

[kcsport]

140 mains, 17.5 pilots, and 2 shims, stock filter, snorkel in place. ( I'll try it without snorkel when I get another filter to exp. with.) I really havent noticed a drop in milage. The other daysome friends and i went on a ride, at 140 miles I only used half a tank. Not any hard riding, HD fat boy and Suz. 800 Volusia. I did get on it some (just to tease them alittle :D )

[dillweed]

nice lowers......do those come pre-painted?

[peaty]

OK Kcsport helped me out with the Yoshi. is there someone out there with the TBR C2 standard slip-on that could help me on that?


Kcsport: thanks for all your help it was great. where did you get your pipe at bye the way?

[Nanduccio]

I just got a Scorpion stainless slip-on for my '02 SVS. I think it sounds absolutely wonderful...deep, nasty growl.

I also paid just $250 to my door including shipping from www.pipecity.com. They were (are?) having a huge sale on Scorpion pipes.

Scorpion's are VERY WELL-MADE. They are hand-made in the UK, and finished with rivets as you NEVER have to re-pack them ever. Instead of fiberglass-type insulation, they use a woven ceramic sleeve which will last forever, or useful life of the bike anyway.

The fit and finish on my pipe are impeccable...and the price was awesome.

I now own a completely different motorcycle. A totally amazing sensory experience.

Similar to ice-cream...after sex...with Jennifer Garner...on the set of Alias...after watching Al Davis lose the Big One.

[RageRage]

$260 to your door.

[Nanduccio]

Right on Rage!

I'm proud of you!

Who did your rejetting for you???

and what in the holy heck does rejetting do?

(for those like myself who put the key in, turn it, and then the big blue thing goes vroom vroom)

[RageRage]

Nanduccio -- All the reading I've done suggests the SV650 is kind'a lean from the factory with 138 jets. I was told I didn't need to re-jet with the Scorpion, but 140s would improve the mid-range throttle response, i.e. make it smoother. I was told right. The 140s (a lot of people run even bigger) gives me exactly what I want for sensitive throttle changes in the corners. No more ker-chunch, ker-chunck, ker-chunch, though a corner. Now I have the "fineness" to smoothly change small amounts of rpm. I'm overjoyed. Cycle Products West on Pico in West LA did my rejetting. I'm sure some guys in the club could do it for you for free, but if you want a shop fairly close to you, Cycle Products West has done nothing but excellent work for me in the past at a very fair price.

[Gmoney]

you should watch ebay. i have seen some slip ons in the last month or two go for pretty cheep. why buy a new one and pay full price when you can get a used one for about half.

[Xplodee]

RageRage,

I've exchanged emails with you in the past about your belly pan but I gotta say it again. I really think that's a beautiful piece and I can't believe it's OEM! You've sent me a couple of really close up pieces of the pan itself but I was hoping you might have some higher resolution shots of your bike from both sides so that I can check out how it looks as a whole, with the belly pan installed. I'm definitely considering purchasing it.

[RageRage]

Xplodee -- I sent you 2 more pics but they came back undeliverable. Either too big for Hot Mail or Hot Mail was screwed up at the time. In either case, they didn't reveal much more than what you already see. Buy it from Suzuki. Have a body shop fuse the two pieces together and repaint. Installation takes no time. I did it myself, and I'm stupid. Now there is a hole on the side for seeing your oil level. I thought the hole was too small so I bored it out and capped it with a generic rubber cap.

[Xplodee]

hey ragerage,

Yeah, that doesn't suprise me about hotmail, my box gets overfilled sometime. I did get the picture above and I really appreciate it!! I want to get this pan but I think I might have to wait until I can find a good deal on it. From AZ motorsports its 250 bucks plus a 15% discount from the svrider board makes it about 220 bucks. Then i'm going to have to either smooth it out myself and re-paint it or get a body shop to do it. How much money did they charge you for smoothing it out and painting? Lastly, sorry for the 20 questions but you are the only person I know with the oem belly pan so I have no choice. ;)

[RageRage]

A friend who owns a motorcycle body and paint shop did it for free. He owed me a favor. It's not really a biggie. If you had to pay, I can't imagine more than 30-40 bucks. Even my Ford dealer where I take my car when I bung it up said they'd do for $20 just to tip the painter.

[pfletch]

If I buy the scorpion exhaust and don't do the re-jet immediately or never what is the likely outcome, ie performance. Also where would I find the directions/instructions to do the re-jet. I'm not mechanically inclined but my friend is, and he loves to mess around with bikes so he will help me.

[rb643]

Check out this link for rejetting your bike.

http://www.geocities.com/catpoopman/Johns_bike.html

[RageRage]

My guess is you won't notice any difference in performance. You'll mostly just be louder. If you gain say 1 hp from possibly running slightly leaner, the risk ain't worth it because of running hotter. If you re-jet, you'll gain that 1 or maybe even 2 hp and run cooler and have better "fine" throttle resonse in the corners. If you get the Dynajet kit, all the instructions are included. The guy that re-jetted my bike put in 140s and set the needle on the middle (I think 3rd) notch. He also took out the smog. The bike runs so much better, I can't believe it.

[SoloToto]

If your still looking for a good pipe, The Jardine RT-One Race is a very good choice. Quiet at idle with a noticable "rumpa-rumpa", and an awesome low growl under mild acceleration. Crack the throttle and the system sounds b*tchin! It isn't obnoxious when riding. However, don't trust the sound bytes online, look for SV's with the system and hear it in person.

[Dr. D]

Remus exhausts are especially nice, I think. Great toned down sound and craftsmenship that lasts. My cousin has one on his R6 and the thing is just beautiful.

[pfletch]

how long does Pipe City take to get the pipe to you, I ordered on 2/7/03. and I'm anxiously waiting on the UPS guy?

[RageRage]

I got mine in two days. I'd call and see what's up.

[pfletch]

Thanks, I called Pipecity and they said I should have received it by now so they are tracking it. it's a good job it's raining or I would be upset. This rain sucks, I much prefer the 80/90's of last week.

[pfletch]

Pipe arrived today, took about 45 mins to install, used a sawzall to cut off the original, new one sounds great. Only problem is the large clamp/hanger doesn't seem to fit snug around the can, is this normal?

[burdman]

I need a little help picking a new exhaust.

I've done a fair bit of looking around, and I really like the look of the Leo Vince high mount system. I plan on going with a full system, because my header pipes are looking a little rough and I'll admit it, this mod is partly for the looks. Also, I need to keep my passenger pegs.

The one thing I'm concerned about with the Leo Vince is the sound. I've heard it sounds great, but I'm not sure I want a super loud pipe. I've seen the video download on the site, and it sounds great, but I've heard people say that isn't a good way to tell. I also might be mis-informed as to what a loud pipe is.

I've also heard good things about the Hindle (price), and the Arrow system.

I'd appreciate any advice.

Nick

[Justlar]

Hard decision, still working on it for myself.
Arrow is a nice pipe, sounds great but you lose the rear peg. Hindle I believe you keep the peg but I have not heard it. Leo is the preferred pipe for a local San Diego shop that tunes a few SV racers. This shop says that the Leo will give you the best performance.
I think Yosh. is a good option as well as Micron and lately I am researching the Remus line of pipes. Good luck!

Cheers.

[Mapuda]

I have the Remus high mount carbon fiber slip on and I love it.
Great product quality finish and construction, outstanding power and sound.

If you cruise at 4-5 k the sound is not too loud. Crank it up to 6k and above and it roars.

Lots of nice touches, like a standoff to keep the rear brake line off of the header pipe.

Expensive but worth it. Got mine at www.maxmoto.com

[pcperks]

I'm pretty partial to Yosh. I'm going to be getting the full titanium high mount to replace the slip on I damaged in my wreck. It is a pretty loud pipe, but sounds really nice. I can't tell you what the exact performance change is, but I know that it did make a big improvement.

[NorCal_SV650S]

I have the standard Scorpion Stainless...beautiful sound, but quite loud...it is the Race Can. But I think it is perfect...should have gotten the carbon though.

The Remus is beautiful and looks/sounds great in person...

The Leo Vince high mount looks great in person, but don't know about the sound...but honestly every SV exhaust I have heard is slightly different but all beautiful (except the V&H, it seems sort of rattle prone in the sound not the actual metal).

Avoid the Nikko's, heard they suck.

If you have bank, go for the Renegade system...if you have REAL bank...the dual Renegade high mount...REAL REAL BANK? The dual underseat Renegade system.

[Kurt'sSV]

From what I've heard Leo Vance gives the best power gain, but I've also heard that about the M4. I, personally, don't like the Leo Vance sound, but that's just me, and the M4 is pretty loud. Both exhausts I think are ugly.

The Yoshi's aren't as loud, sound good, are more costly, but the prettiest. :batlash: (IMO)

[kc1717]

i totally agree,...i had a renegade, and i think that for just a slip on scorpion is the Only way to go. if you havent checked them out, you should save some money and get one sweet exhaust.

The one thing I'm concerned about with the Leo Vince is the sound.

....I have the Leo Vince high mount.........

....it's louder than stock..........but not obnoxiously loud...........for example.......a Yosh is way louder than the Leo Vince.....

...the Leo Vince also has a nice low note to it also.....

...in my opinion......a very nice sounding pipe.....

...if you decide to put one on..........I would be curious to your feedback on any increase in vibrations..........cause I've noticed an increase after I installed the pipe.............or maybe I'm just being hyper-sensitive.....

....now I gotta figure out how to dampen it......



:D

[Shizznid]

OK, here's what I got, and what I want. You tell me what you have and what you think:

I own a 2002 SVS - all stock. I like loud pipes, specifically the smooth rumble of a 1000cc twin. I'd like a High-Mount pipe. I don't want to spend a shitload of cash, either. Based on some recent exhaust research, here are a few pipes I have looked at:

1. Holeshot - A slip-on, which is odd, since it's almost $400 dollars. But it mounts very high, and it looks really swank.

2. Yoshimura - obvious Suzuki trademark, pretty damn expensive though. I need new leathers, and I can't afford them with this pipe.

3. Vance and Hines - My least favorite, although I've owned their products on my past 4 bikes, and liked them. I"m just not into the sound/look as much. But the price is right.

Anyway, I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks!!!

Yoshimura really isn't that expensive. Try this place: Moto-Xtreme (http://www.mps-shop.com/motoxtreme/product.asp?pf%5Fid=152&dept%5Fid=1308&error=&makemodel=62%5F216&model%5Fyear=2002&attr%5Fvalue1=Race&attr%5Fvalue2=Tri%2DOval+%28TRS%29&attr%5Fvalue3=Stainless&attr%5Fvalue4=&attr%5Fvalue5=&status=OK&mscssid=DUMMY8TMQ9G69PCRJGDLM0B8EN6NC997) They have had the best yoshimura prices I have seen.

[Golden_Eternity]

Advice I've heard from a lot of people is buy the leathers then worry about the pipe.

[dnakase]

Yah, buy the leathers, then keep an eye out for a used pipe. Some people manage to lay it down on the left.

The most common I've seen... and the best is probably the Yosh. There is also the M4 which is a bad ass pipe. Do a little research or ask Frank @ cyclemall.net... he is the man

[ward]

No way, get a scorpion, much cheaper and sounds deeper!

[Natedawgg]

I got a Yoshimura RS-3. It kicks ass. Sets off car alarms with it's nice, deep, burbly sound. I love it.

I've heard any number of aftermarket exhausts on an SV, and quite frankly, they all sound pretty good and deliver extra power. Especially over a stock setup.

Yeah, sure, you can argue that Akrapovic will give you .5 hp more than Yoshimura and 1.5 more than some other brand, but I ask you, Who gives a shit unless you're a professional racer? I'll never be able to tell the difference from the seat of my pants.

I say (after spending way more than I should've on a pipe) get the one you think looks dope.

[burdman]

I talked to a dealer the other day, and he suggested the Hindle for the price. Now, that is what they carry, so it could be biased. He rides an Arrow and likes it.

The Leo Vince is one that I am looking at, I love the look of the high mount, and I want to keep my passenger peg. I really want to do the full system, because part of it is to get new pipes, mine are really tarnished and I feel more comfortable not having to cut into the stock ones (backup).

The most interesting thing I came across, and I'd like to hear what you all think, is that the dealer mentioned I wouldn't really have to rejet. He mentioned that tuning the carbs was standard, but installing a jet kit with the above mentioned systems was unnecessary. Comments?

I'd go with the double high pipes myself... the difference in weight and horsepower doesn't compare to how cool those look...

[Natedawgg]

If you 'd like to take full advantage of the extra power you can get from your new pipe, definitely re-jet. It's easy, cheap, and will make a difference.

I also own a Renegade high mount carbon can. It sounds Fantastic. My brother's Scorpion Carbon Can on his SVS sounds chattery next to mine. Renegade has a deeper sound and the higher you rev the better it sounds. Scorpion just sounds noisier. Renegade wins hands down! The trottle respons seems better too. All I can say is that he's fitting his Scorpion can to his second bike (a Yamaha XJR400) and getting a Rennie for his SVS. Its that good.

[weegaz22]

buy an ART can, good power high up in the rev range and cheap as hell! (alloy can about £130, dont know what this is in dollars) and sounds quiet nice + flames as well when u shut off the throtle at 9000- 10,000rpm

I have a SV650S 01 and ive been thinking about getting a yosh pipe i was wondering if anyone had anything to say about this can.

Or better yet sugest something better sor the SV.

Don't worry a minute over the Renegade... Renegade is one of the few motorcycle-related companies that is truly exceptional when it comes to customer service... When WSB rolls around at Laguna, I know several people whe have just brought their bike to get the exhaust re-packed, at the races, for free...

Renegade takes care of their customers. The motorcycle industry, compared to many others I've seen, tends to be very shady, but Renegade is better than almost any other that I've ever seen...

I never knew making a decession on what pipe would be sooooo much fun. I still cant decide and I have looked at many. WOW!

[Jlm8667]

After looking for months now I think I am going to go with the Nikko High Rise, thanks in part to this exhaust video (http://www.socalsvriders.com/download.php?op=getit&lid=35).

Great sound. My question, does the high rise effect the passenger? bad enough I have to tell the wife it cost 350.00 can't tell her she can't ride on it in the same breath, I'll be sleeping on it in the garage... lol

Anyone have aNikko? know where I might find it cheaper?

Thanks

[sirrom]

damn the choices are endless!

So I'll go with the Yosh.......
or the Scorpion.......
or maybe the Remus.......
but then there's the 2 bros.......#-o

That's my pipe in the video. I actually put the passenger footpegs back on last night, so I could bring a friend of mine along for the weekend. The right side needs 2 small extensions, and a few washers. (I believe they are included, but I bought my pipe used, so I'm not sure. The guy I bought it from gave them to me with the pipe.) Anyway, the pegs work fine. It looks a little lame, in my opinion, but if you need them, they'll work fine.

Does anybody have a Full Jardine Exhaust system on their Sv? If you do... is it very loud? does it help on the perfromance big time?? and how did you jet it?? thanks!!

[chukiechz]

My friend has a Jardine on his R6 and it sounds great, but LOUD.


in before the merge!!!! :cool:

[bloodclot]

im not sure if has been said in this thread yet, but i like my holeshot system. and i just figured it out that its a full system, after i spent a while trying to find out what a stock system looks like. im assuming its a full system any ways, cause it mounts to the tie down rack instead of the foot peg, and i dont see how they could do that with a stock pipe and a slip on.

im not sure how much it costs, cause it was already on there when i got my bike. but it still sounds bad ass :D

[Jlm8667]

Just installed a "Nikko" high rise on my SV. Great sound, has a clean throaty sound to it, and loks great. Check it out on rumbleimport.com sells for 429.00 I got it off e-bay for 299.00 from them as an introduction. Took 3 days to get it...

You can also hear a sound clip in the downloads section.

Well worth it, sounds a-lot better then the "Jardine"

[Justlar]

Well, I started this thread a while back and finally made a decision to get a Leo Vince full system. Should arrive in a week and then time to slap it on, jet kit and all that stuff.
I considered the Leo, Yosh., Micron, and Remus with vigor and just went with what I was told initially; you will get the most power increase, retain the rear peg, get a good sound and have a good looking high mount with the Leo. All the others are great systems, I trust the guys at Lee's Cycle to not praise a poor product. Good luck with you decision.

[Rudeboy]

I really got to wonder about the difference in power gains that there seems to be between these exhaust systems. Considering what variables there actually are in the architecture: there is one thing that stands out... the diameter of the exhaust tube...

I think that is about the extent of the variance that exists. I don't think that would be considerably different from one manufacturer to the next, the proper diameter would have been tested out (so I believe). I think it is all a bunch of horse shit.

I'm taking my steed to the dyno.... btw no one except yosh has an exhaust for the 03 so I gotta get one of 'dem

[LaJollaSV]

What about exhaust? Do you have any suggestions? I want loud ass pipes to announce my departure and arrival... (oh, and for safety!)

Does anyone have any recomendations?

[GsxrGregor]

I am considering purchasing a Scorpion slip-on, as it seems like the most bang for the buck. I wanted to know (from all those who currently have them) how simple it is to install the pipe? Is it as simple as cutting the stock exhaust off and clamping the new one on?

[linp]

I did a Search (http://www.socalsvriders.com/forums/search.php?s=) on "Scorpion Exhaust" and found this thread:
Scorpion Slip-ons (http://www.socalsvriders.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=2044).

Does that help?

ps. MrPython took a video of Susan's Arrow full Titanium exhaust. It's in the Downloads (http://www.socalsvriders.com/download.php). I really liked the pipe, as it's not common to see an Italian pipe on a Japanese bike. Titanium headers too.

[GRich4u]

I put on my scorpion slip on and love it.. glsvs2002, you are right more bang for the buck.. Plus you dont have to repack it after a period of time, thats something to keep in mind when purchasing a pipe. If you were closer I would say stop by and we could cut it off, I have a compressor with a cutting wheel. Hmm maybe its time for another maintenace day.
:cool:

[SvRider4Life]

Just got done putting in a full exhaust on my Svs (Jardine) and im pretty satisfied with it.. i like the low rumble on idle and its pretty loud when taking off. Still havent re-jetted yet and im planning on doing it soon. so hopefully, when its re-jetted it can help my performance . Cant complain.. :D

[meanstreets]

Hey Rudeboy,

TBR makes one for the 03 and I like it, but that's not saying much, I'm a :squid: . I haven't read much about TBR here though, so maybe it's not very good, but it sounds good to me. Here is a link to their site where they have a .wav file of the exhaust note.

[GMAN]

The Vance & Hines full exhaust that I had on my SVS was nice. Throaty but not annoyingly loud. The jetting helped the power on the top end.

[BentValve]

Two Bros , M4 , Scorpion or Yashimira ? I have heard these in the download section but I think they all sound somewhat the same.
So I have to make a decision based on build quality and peoples first hand experience with these mufflers.
Help me decide.

[GraVitY]

Ok, I'm looking at an exhaust, but I'd like to keep the passenger rear pegs. Do you know which exhausts retain them? Thanx in advance.

Grav.

[dnakase]

My Renegade Dual High Mounts do. They basicly come with spacers and longer bolts so the bracets clear the pipe. You could probably do the same if the pipe you like dosn't provide a solution for retaining the brackets.

[Q]

Most exhaust retain the rear pegs unless you buy a high mount. Even some of those still may keep them.

[GraVitY]

Sorry that's what I meant, High MOunt. I'm looking at a Yosh or a Micron, but I'm not sure if the Yosh retaines the Rear pegs. Any thoughts??

[Sentinel]

Go check their website. If it doesn't tell you anything, see if they have an 800 number, then call them. Nothing beats specs directly from the manufacturer. And while you're at it, check their suggested price so you can comparison shop.

http://micron-exhaust.com/

http://www.yoshimura-rd.com/default2.asp

[burdman]

Grav,

From the website, it looks like the Micron High Mount retains the pegs. However, the video download of that pipe on this site shows it removed, I'm not sure if that was necessary or not.

I know for a fact that the Leo Vince high mount keeps the passenger pegs. The dealer here in Seattle says great things about the Leo Vince and the Hindle. The Leo Vince is a little pricey though.

I'm in the same boat as you, I need the pegs but I would really like a high mount.

Let us know what you decide

Nick

[CDAWG]

Where can I see a picture of the Renegade Dual High mounts at? Are they much louder than stock? I like the look of the stock pipe but only want a little more sound. Two pipes would be so sweet. Thanks for any help anyone can come up with.

Avoid the Nikko's, heard they suck.

If you have bank, go for the Renegade system...if you have REAL bank...the dual Renegade high mount...REAL REAL BANK? The dual underseat Renegade system.

NorCal, now that you have heard both the Remus and the Scorpion, which one of the two would you recommend? Any details about the sound ( bass, loudness etc. ) are welcome.

Scorpion = rumble, young man, rumble!

The thing is, I bet Greg didn't even notice the sound of the pipe coming "down" from his Hog.

[GsxrGregor]

I know, I know! I should already have a pair of pants, I just need to find ones that fit well and (hopefully) zip to the Joe Rocket jacket I have. I tried on the textile pants that they make, but they didn't fit very well. I'll try the leathers and if they aren't good either, then I'll have to go with another brand.

I couldn't pass up Greg's deal at $175 for the pipe though.... It's already putting a big :D on my face

This is from Street and Comp (http://www.streetandcomp.com)

Part 75-SV650SS - Hindle Stainless Steel Header SV650 '99-'02
Hand crafted in Canada, Hindle exhaust systems are designed to give maximum horsepower and ground clearance with minimum weight. Manufactured from thin wall stainless steel, these race pipes are completely spring mounted and contain all hardware, springs and flanges needed for installation. Hindle mufflers are available in either a race baffle (2") or stealth baffle (1 3/4") with your choice of polished aluminum, Titanium, or carbon fiber in round or oval shell design.* For a complete Hindle exhaust system, you must select a muffler from the options column *
Price: $299.95

[BluBallz]

im just curious... how do normal slip ons work? i now you usually have to cut the pipe at a certain spot... but toes the slip on need a connector piece too? does that piece need to be welded?

[stevenzil]

After doing a lot of looking around, I decided to go with an M4 over the TwoBros C4. It was a very hard descision, considering that I did not get to hear it in person... only over the internet. Does anyone have an M4 can? Any thoughts?

[SVTIM]

Does anyone have any experience with the Akrapovic exhaust? I was looking at one on an R6 the other day and it was sheer eye candy. Cyclemall.net has them on sale for $600

Yes, slips ons for the SV require that you cut the old pipe (normally a few inches after the front and rear pipes join.

No, most slips ons (in fact all that I know of) do not require you to weld anything. My Holeshot came with a short "joiner pipe" and a couple hose clamps to hold the new pipe in place.

[Lockers]

Anybody invesigated or actually put a hindle exhaust system on their SV? These are excellent quality systems from what I've read..

Any feedback would be great...

[swll360]

Don't know much about the hindle but i did just get Yosh TRS exaust. BAD-A$$. Took me forever to make up my mind. Renegade was way to much $ so it cam down to Micron or Yosh. Toughest decision ever. Either way they both rock. Liked the look of the Tri-Oval....

[maranza]

yeah!

[harbiho]

I kinda stumbled upon the Blue Flame Exhaust website. Their products seem to be well made and reasonably priced. They have single and dual port models in SS, Carbon and full titanium (Ti inside and out).

Has anyone heard of their products?

http://blueflameperformance.com/bikes/

[BioTek]

I have heard of them,they are pretty popular in the U.K, they were used on Steve Hislops championship winning "Duc" in the British Superbike Championship. Cant say what they're like for SV's but they're a reputable company.

[BluBallz]

how much is 278 pounds in english dollars?

[GsxrGregor]

I was searching around for US distributors of Pyramid Plastics (they make those sweet looking seat cowls) and found this (http://www.revsperformance.com/) website. They are a US distributor of BlueFlame exhausts as well. :)

Nice looking cans they make.

[Justlar]

Check out Leo Vince pipes; they have both full systems and slip-ons. I considered an Akrapovic but the it was a little pricey and you lose the rear peg. Many people have a Yosh. or Micron so I went with something different, almost went with a Remus pipe but in the end settled on the Leo after many recommendations.

hi gang, i like most all titanium, reasons are, the head pipe temps are running cooler and cool off fast, the weight of it, the titanium does not flex or distort when hot like s.s. or reg. stell, there fore you don,t have a change in your header tunning waves, always the same performance!

[2wheelernut]

Pretty tough decision, isn't it? Hmm, looks/ground clearance of the Yosh, low maintenance of the Scorpion, fit and finish of the TBR . . . as for sound/tone, the sound clips on the net aren't a reliable comparison. What I need: identical SV's with different cans mounted, so I can compare. Wouldn't that be nice?
BTW, does anyone know if/how the exhaust gas sensor needs to be modified on CA models when installing a slip-on? I came across that little warning, and haven't seen any posts regarding that mod. Help.

Did you get the zyclone or race baffle? I think most people get the race. I've got a friend with RS-3's (zyclone, I think) on his Hayabusa. They seem a little tame, but then again, the only time I hear them up close is when he's idling on the driveway or something. Race vs. Zyclone: what's your opinion? I would appreciate your $.02 worth again (for a total of $.04). Thanks.

BTW I just joined the other day . . . these message boards are helpful and seriously addictive! (My wife thinks I'm taking out the garbage right now.)

LOL ! Ok, here's another $0.02 worth :D
I got the race baffle. I dont think the TRS comes in a Zyclone baffle. (At least, I couldnt find it on the yoshimura web site) and I dont think it's too loud. It definitly makes the bike sound like a V twin should and I think it makes the bike sound like abigger bike too (just my opinion). So if you ask me, the race baffle is definitely the way to go.

Oh, and welcome to the website ! I'm logged on most of the time on his web site as well as www.svrider.com/phpbb

I don't have a picture of the can on my bike because by digital camera is a piece, but here is a photo that Helli sent me that clinched the deal for me.

Did you do the install yourself? What sort of tools did you need? This was the carbon pipe right?

I went into a bike shop today to check out the Remus pipes - there were 4 different types. Does anyone know the difference?

Revolution, Genesis, Grand Prix, Innovation

Also, is there a difference between high mount and low mount or is it personal preference?

I highly recommend Pipe City in Arizona. Great service, free shipping. The only problem I encountered was not their fault: my pipe was only a few hours away from my house in California when it was inexplicably routed to (get this) CONNECTICUT!!!! Called Pipe City to see what was up, they tracked it, then got on the phone and told Fed Ex that their customer has a race on the weekend and needs his pipe before Saturday. This was Thursday afternoon. The pipe was at my door mid-Friday!

Pipe City's owner told me that Fed Ex has done this three times in a month, and told me my case was the last straw; they're switching back to UPS. Good move, as far as I'm concerned.

Pipe City:;)

[thejimdaddy]

yes read the topic:D how loud you want?

[zzzwillzzz]

keep it stock and learn how to ride. six hundred dollars spent at two track schools or better yet, one track school and three track days will make you really fast. your pipe won't matter once you get out of sight and they can't see you or keep up with you. most racers i've seen use an m4 or yosh full system

[luke foley]

has anyone had any problems after re jetting their carbs ? I want to put a pipe on my sv but a lot of people told me not to becuase once you jet your carbs your bike will never run the same again! does any have any opions?

[2wheelernut]

Of course it won't; it'll run better . . . if you do it right. The bike comes from the factory leaned out to pass emission standards. Even without a new pipe, the bike would almost certainly benefit from larger mains. Amost everyone shims the needles and adjusts the fuel/air mixture screws (somewhere between 2 and 3 turns out seems to be standard). I'm going from 137.5 mains to 140's first (I still have the stock air filter). Do some research on these message boards (check out svrider.com, too). Someone on svrider even submitted a thread with a form where people can provide all relevant information: what location (what elevation they live at), what pipe, what mains, needle shims, air filter, how many turns on a/f mixture screw, etc. Just reading through that will tell yo
