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 :p

 

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)

 

 

 

Great write up...but it would be worthless without piccies!!!
