New exhaust pics

[Devil Dog]

DD, Thanks for the prior links. Second one was no good... I see you went with a 4 into 1 system. Did you notice a differance in power or performance? I figured it would be better keeping the 2 into 1 type for breathing beni's.

Its all a matter of choice.....some go 4-2-1......others keep the stock configuration.

Basically,  This is what you must decide first:

*Keep your stock exhaust and only install slip-ons.
*Change everything but keep dual exhaust........IE  HMF
*Go w/ the 4-2-1 config

I am happy with what I did.  If money were no object,  I would have really considered the HMF high mounts.  Although this seems easy, much is involved because the rear fender must be cut to facilitate the high mounts. Some other members have just cut the rear fender and left it like that......I would have wanted an undertail kit which is another expense.  My rear is presently stock.....military base regulations make it hard to install an undertail and still meet all the regs.  They want a rear fender, reflectors, license plate light, and rear turn signals which can be seen from 300 ft.  Really a pain.....All these factors lead me to the 4-2-1 config.

Not trying bost or brag but $ is no biggie. I just want the best for the bike. What looks, sounds and performs the best. EX. I searched High and low for the Titanium full race exhaust on my 99 zx-750 back in 2000. It had 3 races on it and I cought it on Ebay for 259.00 the friggen exhaust cost 1500 -2000k back then. just under 8lbs in weight. Now The busa has twins and can get costly, this is why I search for the opinions of you guys. If I can go with a single system that will perform better than the twin I'll spend the extra money.... I checked out that gen 3 streetsmart system with the titanium can & considering the 1700 ECU but I don't have a lap top...lol
Is this something that I should consider? I called the Brooks company and they said I'd get more for my money if I went with the Power comander or ECU.  I'm use to Carbs, this bike is too high tech for me...lol JK

If $$$$ is no object...the HMF is an awesome system....do a search in the Mod department, tons of pics

The pipe if installed correctly should not discolorr the swing arm or melt plastic.

As far as burning your wifey's leg.......I have heard of no such problems.

Mods will include the following:
Exhaust install from headers to cans, $1250
Remove rear turn signals and install undertail kit or merely cut OEM fender, $250-$350
Install PCIII w/ appropriate mapping, $350
I put the average price off top of my head....will definately be a little different. Don't forget labor to install if you're not gonna do it yourself. I did mine.....It took me 8 hrs w/ no help. You have the added task of the undertail replacement or cut.

Thanks...I like the HMF too.

 

[c50bartsBusa]

What air box mods do I have to do too? I hear you guys mentioning it. I bought the usb pcIII also, I down loaded the mapping for Hindle race exhaust. Is this the correct map? Thanks for all the help DD. Can the stock turns stay in place with the high mount? I really don't feel like dremling the new bike...lol

 

[c50bartsBusa]

The dual High mount is 954 on that site. Is that a good price? and do I need to keep the dual pipes or does it matter at all?

If you get the BDE, PCIIIr from Brock.....he will also send you the directions for the airbox mod. This mod consists of drilling the plastic airbox to increase airflow. The mapping on the PCIII supports this mod. I used Brocks blockoff plates for the valveair removal as well. I have seen other ways which are a lot cheaper with the same results for the valveair removal but I used his complete package.....OTD $1250, 8 hrs of hard work. Great directions and plenty of technical help via a quick phone call if needed.

Will it void warrenty and extended?

Will it void warrenty and extended?

Now you opened a can of worms......It depends on your service manager. If he feels the mods that are installed caused another problem or contributed to another failure.....then yes.

My bike is 2 months old.......I have the extended warranty too. I pray for no problems.....

 

[c50bartsBusa]

So if I remove the #### before serving a warrenty item I'm safe
