Leo Vince 6th Generation

[TucsonTRD]

I just finished installing the LV SBK carbon fiber on my bike this morning. The install was pretty easy. I removed the baffles as soon as i got it all installed. so I don't know how quite it is with them in there. but it is fairly loud without the baffles. and it sounds awesome. I've only put about 50 miles on it since i installed the pipes, but they are great. i'll update this post if need be as i put more miles on them.

fwiw, the only thing i can compare them too is the stock exhaust. i've never heard any other aftermarket pipes on a vfr. but i'm very impressed with how the LV sound

How do the baffles come out? I'm new to this and I fixing to put some LV slip-on's on my 2006 VFR.

I have the Carbon Leo's as well. They have a deep but not too loud sound. Put the Power Commander and O2 Eliminators on today. WOW! What a difference! What little hesitation the bike had at certain RPM's is gone. Well worth the $.

I am thinking of putting Leo's on my '03. I already have a PCIII and O2 elims on an otherwise stock bike. I am curious what map you are using for the LV's. The only map I see for LV's is for the european model.

I run a TFI box so no map but you can listen to my CF model on a vtec here:

Here's another video of the exact same pipes on my 4th gen which doesn't have a cat so they are louder:

How hard is it to put the PCIII and O2 eliminators on?

PCIII is pretty straightforward even for a hack wrench as myself. Took all of 10 mins. Just lift the gas tank, find the throttle harness at the right rear of the airbox, unplug, and plug the two ends into the PCIII. Tuck everything back in and route the unit back to your underseat section. Secure it with supplied velcro, and connect power to the negative terminal of the battery. Put back together, and you are good to go.

O2's take a bit longer because you have to remove the left side panel.

Here is a link to do the O2 elim cheaper than the Dynojet plugs:

I am running the map downloaded from Dynojet for the Staintune Exhaust. I may Dyno it later on and get a custom map, but probably won't. Runs very well with this map.

Sounds like that might be the answer for a VFR to sound sporty and sweet, but how would one the desribe the sound, compare it to something else; like, does it sound better than a yahama TRX-850? or can you even compare it to a Ducati?

Is it recommended or neccessary to get the O2 elims, if you are gonna get the PC III?

Yes, 02 eliminators are required with the PCIII USB.

Hey Kia, I'm shopping for parts for my 06 VFR. Your price looks good for the LV Carbons, what can you do for an air filter and Power Commander? Also, what's the deal with the O2 eliminator? Sounds as tho you might be the VFR expert I've been looking for

[kia001]

The o2 sensors tell the VFR that the fuel needs to be reduced at certain rpm, basically, when cruising around the 6,000 rpm range. That's why the bike surges and has a "flat spot" right in the middle of the rev range. So adding the bypass plugs sends a false signal to the brain/cdi/pgm telling it to not lean the mixture out more. It keeps the fuel curve from leaning out. I run the Leo Vince Ti slip ons, and the Dynojet plugs (requires two), no problems at all, runs much better, sounds "meaner".

I've sold a few sets of Heli Bars, Leo Vince systems and O2 plugs to some other local VFR riders. I had to add the Heli bars and a ZG DB screen because I'm getting too lazy to lean forward.

BMC for $69.95
K&N $54.95

Leo Vince, no longer offers a Ti VFR system, only aluminum and carbon fiber. I have two carbon fiber systems here in stock and one aluminum.

Hey Kia, can you give me your business phone so I can call later today or maybe tomorrow? I'd like to discuss these upgrades further and then order.

Thx

thanks

kia001, do you have the Leo Vince slip-ons for a 2004 VFR in stock?

By the way, Manny at Leo Vince USA said that the Staintune maps will work very well with the LVs. There is one for the cans with the plug in and one with the plug removed. Anyway a custom map isn't necessary, although Manny said you might get a pinch more (1 hp?) with a custom map.

[NorcalBoy]

Hi Kia,

Sorry to keep bombarding you with messages! Do you still have the Ti pipes you had in July? If not, I'm interested in the CF's if you have them. I PM'd you about the specifics. Let me know.

I'm not too sure how the baffles come but the have to be cut out. I just purchased the new 2007 VFR and had this operation performed before I spent more money on a new exhaust given the ones on the bike look Ok just don't sound great. To say they least I'm impressed with the outcome, all of a sudden you feel like your on a mean machine, the note is loud enough to be heard and improves when powered on and it cost me Aus$300. Well worth a try especially if it's a new bike.

I have three carbon 02-07 Leo systems in stock.

Yes, you have to cut the OEM mufflers to remove the baffles. Use the Dynojet O2 sensors to get around the surging effect. I use LV mufflers and 02 sensors and it's much better.

You can make O2 eliminators from 330 ohm resistors. .99 cents from radio shack.
