new cans

03-07-2004, 10:33 PM

i got back from track day and decided i needed a louder monster.
i bought some lovely DP carbon exhausts from stuart at spareshack and fitted them on friday.
do i need to make any further alterations e.g. new air filter etc or can i just leave it as it is?

Think your Ok with an injection model, did you have any mods Julie ?

You should be fine as is - the EFi engine can compensate to a fair degree for the slightly less restrictive airflow (exit) you get from fitting race cans.

However (if you want a bit more power), fitting a K&N filter (or such like) will give you more air in, which in turn needs more fuel if it is not to run lean, and that is where you might need a EFi/chip tweak/change to get the balance spot on, and maximise any benefit your free-er flowing system now has.

If you just want the noise, I'd leave it as is...

Not to mention that the air filter will give a nice induction roar when going for it...

isnt that noise sweet?

i love riding the monster anyway.

but now i just cant leave it alone. i sneak out and just start it up for 30 seconds or so to get my fix.

if weather gets better i think i'll plan a scarborough run as the roads are cool over the moors.

I also have some new cans, which are so antisocial it's brilliant. With the carbons, is it necessary to put those crappy steel heel plates back on, or should you fit carbon one's?

did you put back the steel ones, or did you fit carbon ones?
