3rd party exhaust

Two pipe questions for the group:

1. Any agreement on a good replacement skip-onI saw the Akra, but's quite expensive....

2. With a new pipe, do you need to tune anything (EFI mainly)? If so, Power Commander? Hope 'no' to both questions!

I'm not interested in any 'full systems'.... just a new canister to get a few ponies, but mainly a meaner sound...

thanks!

I'm looking for a slip-on as well. I'm leaning towards the Delkevic - sounds killer with the dB killer out and still very mean with the dB killer in - their website seems to have a number of different varieties now for the 8th gen, different colors and lengths.

I'm very happy with my Two Brothers Racing Slip-On. It makes a huge difference with the sound but isn't ridiculously loud. I've put almost 3.5k miles on it and have no issues with discoloration etc.

 

If you're just getting a slip on, most likely no need for a power commander. If you start messing with the air box and PAIR stuff, then possibly. I hear that the 8 Gens have a better fuel management and much different than the 6 Gen, which even stock benefits from a power commander.

 

I installed a Delkevic 14" polished stainless on mine last week. I asked the same thing about a tuner, and was basically told I probably didn't need one. I've put about 150 miles on it so far. I took the DB killer out prior to installing and it has a nice howl to it now. Below is a pic so you can see what it looks like.

 

Im interested to know if you need a tune or not. Someone should have a dyno comparision to check

 

I have the GPR racing exhaust. Here is a short sound clip of my GPR Exhaust.

Although the look is very clean, over time I was not satisfied with the sound and was actually looking to replace it until that DUI driver tried to kill me.

 

much nicer than the delkevic

 

I ride track with a friend that had a GPR on his ysmsha R6. Man was that loud! Sounds very nice on the VFR.


Here was a video link from the above video.

Boring!?
