<Discussion> Street Legal Exhaust

[kinwei]

Blue thing is the stupid leo vince metal seal with cables warp around the end cAn spring. ugly like shxx..!

 

I dun mind not removing the silencer. Its the Kat(catalyser) positioned in the mid pipe which can be removed (obviously now cant because of the stupid seal)... The kat makes the sound more worst than my original exhaust.

 

Sucks big time...

 

Huh? I thought aftermarket usually no catalyser? The catalyser usually is with the stock exhaust. Depending on where it is placed in the original exhaust system, it will or will not be removed when you take out the end can. Unless you mean the circle plate with 4 small holes on it?

Most slip on will not remove the cat in the exhaust system, if it did, it will be definately not street legal as it will not be able to meet the strict emission laws.

Actually what I meant is aftermarket end can usually do not have cat in it.That is because the TS is arguing now he can't remove the cat supposingly located in the aftermarket end can's mid pipe. Or I misunderstand his meaning.

Well , its not built in tho. Its a round thing that can be removed. And trust me, the sound is worst than a sewing machine with that thing packed before the end can.

 

Basket. Ride rxZ nicer sound. Basically, consumers are still not infd upon purchasing....trick method? Why,? Scared of loosing business? in the end customer suffers....this is the end results....

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

Should have informed customers before they make payment or even during enquiry.

I think you mean this,

 

 

If it is this, then it is not the catalyser. Catalyser look like this,

 

 

My LV also came with this. But I never install it because I don't know what it for. So now I know what it for.

One thing i would like to ask, as consumer rights, this term has not been passes down to us until the last minute. Can i sent back or a full refund? I wanna buy from ebay. Defeat the purpose of buying this exhaust. Any remarks from gmax?

[troyjbon]

I will ask my bike shop to uninstall it and sent back to gmax for a refund. I believe we have a law for consumer rights in recent news headlines ?

[GuiNNeSS]

how do u ride in singapore with the cat on ....than to malaysia to take out the cat ? u going to put the cat in your bag/box etc ....when returning to singapore put it back ?

[IvikaRazI]

Correct me if I am wrong. Cat is also called aka mid-pipe rite? The one that converts most of the carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide? Juz would like to get the item name correct.

 

But some bikes have the cat built into the exhaust end can. Am I correct to say that?

I think you better check with Gmax privately.

They are 2 different thing. Mid pipe is usually the pipe that is between the end can and header. And cat is the one that I have shown in the picture above which did what you have mentioned. It can be anywhere inside the exhaust system depending on where the manufacturer placed it.

Lets be transparent here shall we....

[kinwei]

I think asking for full refund is highly not possible. Why not ask whether is it possible for them to help remove the plate and reseal it back for free? Unless all seal have a unique serial number on it then you got not much choice but to ask for refund.

now most of they have catalytic converter in the midpipe..

This case has indeed questioned the integrity on trusted shops....i may be the unlucky one but im only voicing out so that our fellow local bikers dun fall into their trap.

 

1.4k is no small amount guys. I can pay my kids school fees for a year with that...too bad businesses like these have taken advantage of passionate riders such as myself.

[sICkbOi-dOt-cOm]

Ur getting way off already bro. If that 1.4k could have used for paying ur kids sch fees, u shouldnt have pyrchased the slip on in the first place.

Chill for abit la guys... I know how ts feels... But on a brighter side, you can take out silencer right?

 

How often sg riders here mod their midpipe also right?

 

Or worst comes to worst, u can just repack the fibres to the racing fibres type lor.

[troyjbon]

For the benefit of our biking community, its fair for me to alert the rest. If i dunt, the rest may suffer same fate.

 

Fyi only.

Dun understand wats e fuss all about.. Already u purchased a STREET LEGAL pipe n u make noise bout tis n that... Btw wat diff with e cataylst there even if u cant remove it ? Ur bike cant hit top speed issit ? If u want to remove tis n dat might as well get an illegal ones n just prepare extra $$ for e summon.. Even now if u take out e silencer on a legal pipe u can still b summon so wats e fuss about... Seriously, gv me a stock n i can show u how fast i can go on track.. Loud pipes only makes pple think they r fast... Period...

[Constructicon]

Thanks for sharing.

 

When we buy a aftermarket pipe, its mainly for the weight reduction , better sound and a few bhp increase (though not always in the lower range of rpm)

If it sounds like crap due to the removal of the mid pipe (or whatever), I think many will think twice about buying 1 after all.

 

Cheers.

Ultimately If the sound is fine, i would have make a big issue out of this. It sounded like a sewing machine mixed with minor bell ringing sounds...any bikers will be pissed...
