Aftermarket exhaust?

Post by Zapata »

Will the Akrapovic or Remus muffler make the bike run leaner? Do you need to perform any other modifications when you install an aftermarket exhaust?

No, the ECU can handle it fine. If you change the headers as well, you should have a remap.

Hi Dave:


Is the Akrapovic the straight trough type? Can you see the opening from one side to the other?
