Aftermarket Exhaust on a 675: Better or Worse?

Oh yeah, my bad....First Post, I rock, you suck etc, etc......

Does the off road pipe come with knobbies too?

No, go with the paddles! I heard the 675 works great in sand dunes.

If you're just looking for a little more power, try intake rather than exhaust. A power commander ECU set up with a dyno tune will give you what you want without extra noise (I think the 675 sounds great with stock exhaust). It will also smooth your horsepower and torque curves. Do a dyno run before and after-you will see the difference (they'll give you a printout)!

I've ridden and dyno'd it both ways see our 2006 Middleweight Shootout and I personally liked the stock pipe over the TOR system. I think this is because the TOR system gives the bike a "deeper" tone and the cool thing about a triple is the way it wails and howls. When you make the tone deeper it sounds closer to an inline four, loosing some of its three-six-twelve cylinder wail in the process. Besides, the best noises come from the 675's intake anyway.

If you replace the can on a 675, you should remap the FI.



FWIW - I remapped my Tiger for the TOR can and left the stock can on. Bike runs much better. The remap gets rid of most of the lean popping and surging, and I saved $400 by not buying the can.

If you spend the $600.00 on a good riding class vs. the can, intake, download or combination of the 3, you will be mush faster no matter what bike you ride. It is a lifetime investment vs. a 2-3 year investment.

Oh jeez.

Another poor deluded fool who thinks that actual experience carries any weight here.

The new Jardine slip-on (actually, its a little more that a slip-on, since it esplaces the down pipe all the way to the header) will get you an additonal 5hp on the stock tune. Likely more if you use a power commander or tune boy and a little dyno work. All other slip-ons available for the 675 that I am aware of will work fine with the stock or TOR tune. Just make sure to avoid the Arrow tune with the slip-on, as that will not work at all.

Using a tune boy sounds a little too Michael Jacksonish for me.

Completely non-motorcycle related, but this looks like the best movie EVER!

Finally someone who agreees with me. If yo are riding on the street, youhave way more perfomrance than is sane. Take a riding class and you will live to ride longer. Thanks to Freddie and Nick for teaching me how to control my bike better. I needed it this morining when a cell-phone-talking-coffee-drinking-SUV-driving woman cut across my bow with only about 4 inches to spare. I was on the brakes for all it was worth. Thanks to Freddine and Nick I know the life- saving difference between stab and grab and squeeze quickly.
