Any Brit's running Taylormade Exhaust?

ant... · 09-03-2009, 5:28 PM

Im thinking of ordering the Taylormade exhaust for my CBR1000RR 08

Its a fair price for a good looking slip-on and it makes good low down gains, but most of all its out of the way of danger if I get in an accident. A carbon Akro will grind right through in a light slide, but not the TM exhaust.

Where did UK riders buy yours?

ERION929 · 09-03-2009, 8:16 PM

That is a clean look. Do they advertise any increase in performance?

Hi Bob

Sure, the gains are good for a slip-on, but it focusses on low down power, which is personally where i want it.

Check out their website Taylormade Honda CBR 1000 Fireblade Underbelly Exhaust

ERION929 · 09-04-2009, 5:33 PM

I'm also in pursuit of that. I had the full Erion on for awhile then pulled it in favor of thier slip-on due to poor performance down low. A dyno run appeared on this site yesterday on the same bike (929') and shows some impressive figures with full exhaust and a shorty. If my bike could produce like that I would put the full back on. I have a few dates on dyno's and some time to set aside to ride it afterwards in the uture so hopefully I can get this behind me and go after an RC51.

IMHO - That zorst is a work of art - Had my eye on it for sometime now

, I can't wait to fit one to my 09 blade - probably will get one over the winter ready for spring!

but then again the plastic might come out of the wallet again

Anyway, I looked into importing one but it's way expensive, head over to Motorcycle Boots, Helmets Jackets and Protective Clothing | Chain and Sprocket Sets | Motorbike Gloves | Electric Powabyke who will send you one for £750 FREE P&P

Ive checked them out before love the look and sound but not ready to spend the money yet.
There is a british importer, link from main site

incognuity · 09-05-2009, 6:25 PM

It is a gorgeous exhaust but at 107dB, it is horrendously loud!

setanta · 09-05-2009, 6:55 PM

I nearly bought one from someone who had his on his race bike but kept getting thrown off tracks for being to loud. Not sure but 120 sounds more likely

One thing (amongst others) which I hated about the 08/09 Blades were the big exhausts... This one looks very tidy!

cbr1kfireblade · 09-05-2009, 10:07 PM

that looks sweeeet

setanta · 09-05-2009, 11:12 PM

I agree love the way it keeps to the design of the bike

ast03 · 09-06-2009, 2:17 AM

i think the looks of the taylormade with the sound of the two bros, would be the best exhaust ever.. id rock it

ant... · 09-06-2009, 8:22 PM

First off, EPGMoto are selling me:
- Taylormade Exhaust with CF Trim
- PowerCommander 5 with Oxygen sensor eliminator
- Block off plates
- K&N race filter
All shipped for less than £800, BARGAIN!!!
Results for Exhaust:Taylormade Racing:Honda:CBR1000RR 08-09

The TM exhaust has got a sweet sound and the guys in the states who have them tell me its about the same as an Akro with its DB killer in. Some complain its all show but they forget its just a slip-on.

For me the fact thats its a belly pan exhaust means I can crash my bike and it wont get touched, only have to pay for a few plastics, major bonus. Carbon Akrapovics look sick, but they would grind to bits in a slow slide and add £1000 to the bill, ive done that before & ground my gsxr600 alloy pipe to bits.

I am totally with ya there mate - that £800 does that include import tax?

ant... · 09-07-2009, 11:45 AM

No, what import tax???

You will have to pay 15% VAT on the total price [including the postage] + 3% import duty on the goods

Have a read of HM Revenue & Customs

So it's £800 + 18% = £944

I'd ring customs and excise if I where you and get it clarified, I am looking at getting one sent over from the US as well as it works out £130 cheaper than what you will pay in the UK

Good luck!

ant... · 09-07-2009, 6:03 PM

What a shitter

ant... · 09-09-2009, 1:40 PM

Im ordering this exhaust soon, so ill let you know how it goes.

The Powercommander 5 is coming too, im not looking forward to installing that.

ant... · 09-16-2009, 6:34 PM

Sync24 & I are well happy with our Taylormade Exhaust orders from EPG Moto in the USA. They do loads of stuff, even if its not on their website and im happy to vouch for them as being a great/cheap/fast company to deal with.

Check out EPGMOTO Home Page and FAO danny sales@epgmoto.com

Yes, it is not road legal but is described as a "baffle" and is compared to a Arkrapovic with the insert it.

ant... · 09-18-2009, 4:40 PM

At 106db's, id like to get a baffle for my Taylormade Pipe

Mate, it does already have a dual chamber baffle. In a video I watched with Paul describing the exhaust, he said it was designed to be a "muffler" and was therefore "not a loud exhaust". There are some videos on you tube and it certainly does not appear to be too loud. HTH

Kev

ant... · 09-21-2009, 10:16 AM

I cant seem to find that 106db figure on their website anymore, so im not sure exactly where I first saw it. For sure ill be very happy if it quieter.

The video I saw, he says the dual chambers are necessary to quieten the exhaust in that short amount of space. If you think about it, the TM exhaust ends where other exhausts begin.

Ill just have to wait to hear it myself, cant wait for the package to get here.

sync24 - Thanks, ive seen those vids, but really you cant tell volume from any movie. Sounds Great though

Free Taylormade Euro PCV map
Ive been given a PCV map for Taylormade Exhaust on 08 CBR1000RR, dynoed in the UK last week. PM me your email and ill fire it right over.

mjpartyboy · 09-21-2009, 3:25 PM

How does a UK 08 Blade run in stock form apart from replacing the exhaust with a Taylormade Racing one? Does it run too rich or too lean for example? Is a Power Commander really necessary?

ant... · 09-22-2009, 8:21 AM

The stock setup runs fine, but if you replace the pipe with any free flowing pipe, its gonna change the air fuel ration, which aint good for your engine. Im no expert but if your getting more air then the fuel is probably too lean.

Ive heard you can get the stock ECU dynoed and some people never bother fixing the fueling.

I got my PCV for basically free cos I bought the pipe from epgmoto in the USA. Their prices are so much lower than UK that the pipe, airfilter, pcv & shipping came to abount the same price as buying just the pipe from anywhere in the UK.

Shirtbuttons · 09-22-2009, 8:50 AM

Ant - how loud is your system now?

I note that the website that you posted includes the PCIII. Did you upgrade that package to get what you did?

ant... · 09-22-2009, 6:23 PM

Its not turned up yet.

I ordered from Danny at EPGMoto and they will provide a PCV but you have to load the map yourself (no biggie).
