currently going at 99GBP, but i can guess it'll be closed 200~250GBP

 

then modify the link pipes.. as AJ has done before for his ex-yoshi

 

shipping to sg is about 70GBP by FedEx, last time i checked.. or you can try vpost.

 

total cost is about 350GBP ~ 700+ SGD..

 

now GBP is dropping value so good time to buy.

IMO...the leovince is still the best and cheapest options....

 

after what i go through trying to sent my Remus that I've bought from Mr Boon for inspection...i don't think it's worth to order from ebay and going through alot of hassle and TIME consuming process....trust me...

 

I took 1hr 30mins at STA just to get the whole registering the pipe to the bike,photo taking,paper work,3 times going through the inspection channel for no-sense at all...$78+$18+1hr30mins....priceless!!

 

Apart from going down to Motoworld to transfer the Remus cert to my name and getting a new cert and paper...$25

The modification already cost $320 at SK...so imagine i sold Mirza my Yoshi...the end Carbon tri-oval end can for $80 only...

I second the angle part.. looks weird.. Actually illegal or not i think termi's are more ex because all handmade.. The legal part is only a DB killer attachment which can be removed easily... Check out the lazer exhaust... Nice! But not legal..

 

Dual Tech???

Im hving one one my hotties nw.....

[vtr firestorm]

Crazy cut throat price for an aluminium slip on and so little gains(take note that different bikes got different gains but i doubt it'll be more than 2bhp),apart from e beautiful soundtrack... I think it's 'expencheap' because it's legal that's why.Illegal ones would definitely cost around an LV range.And the angle sucks.Maybe Seng Kwang can do the trick.

 

U r rite joe, wat ever the makes is.... even LAB home made end cans will only gain ard

1hbp only.... dont even can touch 2 (with only slipped-on cans, w/o jetting or PC).

 

For those hungry for more bhp gain.....change to full system as it will saved hell lots of weight comparing

to the stock one & much much more bhp gain .... a gd one will able to pumped out btw 7 - 12bhp!!!!

 

My VTR got ard 10bhp aft i did the stage one mob, full system, jetting & K&N...... (cos i did a dyno run).

 

Hence, for those wanting the SHIOK exhuast tone.... even LAB one will surely do the trick too, cos b4 i lay

my hand on a Laser Dual Tech,,,,,,

i also look ard 4 LAB one too.......

aiyo...i think those want more hp....change to sportsbike....

 

 

 

the end can....won't really give so much hp with just exhaust pipe alone...

 

Alot need to be done such as PC,proper mapping,dyno run,etc...still how much hp do you expect to gain?

 

 

the exhaust upgrade is just to have better sounds,looking nice,more punch in low end,and most of all,super loss in weight comparing over stock cans....

and one plus points,for those who loves to wear berms,you won't get your leg hair burnt....

ok if you want fast answers...

 

If not mistaken,that time James bought the Dual Tech from M-technik for about $1500-1600?

 

it was approved legal exhaust in UK...but upon reaching our shore,it's not being approve by our road legal system....

 

you guys might wanna checkout Arrow from biketech21...since no one have use it yet....

[joekia]

Oh I see... Anyway are u guys meeting on sunday? I'll be around tampines but will probably end my stuff at noon time..

[kmax]

arrow is good exhaust, but bt21 sales attitude and inconsistent pricing doesn't attract to me..

 

PCR ordered Remus Hexacone carbon from motoworld.. i wonder how it is..

[joekia]

Sorry man was drecnched on the way there and then had to turn back... And didn't know how to contaact any of u guys..

[pcr]

hi guys,

sorry to MIA for so long...very bz with renovation of new flat, and also new year is always bz with work. here my report on my remus hexacone CF:

 

got it installed about a week ago, and inspection took about an hour. must go during off peak hour...damage is $78. it took a minute to test for the decibel and CO levels, and few minutes to take pics of the chassis and muffler numbers before sending the info to LTA. the LTA replied in 45 mins, and then few minutes to print out the documents and make payment. make copies to keep in bike in case kena stopped by TP.

 

the sound is very deep, and makes the stock sounds like a girl in bed. AJ is right about the extra oomph at low speed and gear. at 2nd gear and 1500rpm, the bike does not choke violently, threatening to die. the muffler somehow allow the exhaust air to flow easily (the muffler is shorter than stock). at high speed, i dont feel any difference, but the sound when riding psychologically makes me feel the bike is more powerful... especially riding through the CTE tunnel.

 

when slowing down, and stepping down gear, you can hear the "explosion" like the can is firing "boom boom". you hear that when waiting next to a sports car at the traffic light. very shiok sound. the loudness is a safety feature (at least for me) as other motorists can hear me, and thought i'm closer to them than in reality.

 

at end of ride, the muffler can be felt with bare hands (mine's CF) - hot but not burning. can cover bike immed without worrying about sticking of cover to the cans.

 

when pushing bike while seated, your legs can still be burned when it touches the stainless steel header.

 

the decibel level tested at STA is 83 db, but is louder when riding and revving, causing many heads to turn

 

if you stand behind the muffler with bare legs, the exhaust is minimal, compared to that coming out of the stock. not sure of the implication of this...

 

the angle of the muffler is tilted up slightly compared to the stock, but not parralel to the back seat. the bracket that holds the muffler to the 'whatever you call it' with the foot rests is fixed. if you customised another bracket ($$), you will also have to bend the header to the correct angle. anyway, the sound is what i hear when riding...i dont see the muffler at all.

 

cleaning is very simple...just wipe with damp cloth. but need to polish the header as it is stainless steel.

 

weight wise...the pair of stock feels at least 20+kg. one muffler (without the header) feels like 2kg.

 

fuel consumption...monitoring... the advantage of the reduction of weight would be offset by greater power (=more fuel consumption??).

 

dont drop the bike! the CF may crack easily...and not possible to repair.

 

price wise...i'll share my experience with you the next time i join u people for kopi (in april after i shift to new place)
