best performing 954 exhaust

leland · 11-23-2007, 10:33 PM

I recently lowsided at the track and my exhaust got pretty messed up. I currently have a Erion racing exhaust on it and was wondering what every one else runs. I am wanting a new exhaust that is better if that is possible. So my question is what are you guys running and how does it compare with the erion? I do not want any thing of less quality. Thanks

I hear alot of good things about Arata, read alot too. Their build quality looks chief also. Costs a pretty penny though.

I have the "ZERO", which is the US name for a Japanese Moriwake.

I has sort of a rainbow paint pattern on it, which I don't really love, but the quality is top shelf, it sounds great and fits great.

Does it make the bike perform better? I have not had it dynoed, but it sure feels a bit perkier.... bottom line: great exhaust.

Arata, Hindle, or Micron full systems with a Powercommander custom-mapped.

I had an M4 system, loved it. Great power and sounded great with a low rumble.

i'm havin a arata full titanium, feels a tad better than my previous akro (both were mapped with pc3 on the same dyno)
the arata pumps out extra 2hp compared with the akro.

I've received a lot of compliments on my Devil High mount. It has a nice throaty sound to it. And it really screams past 7k.

I don't think I can afford a full system right now unless i can get one cheap off ebay. But between a jardine and a yoshimura what would you suggest? I only ask this cause those are the ones I'm seeing for sale most for 954.

timmit954 · 11-28-2007, 7:10 AM

I looked into full systems when i had my 954 a year ago and the Arata when properly tuned would produce 17 more hp than stock, which is normaly around 132hp. I couldn't affort the $ for this so the next best was Micron serpent headers and race can +15hp with power commander. This was around $1800 NZ so don't know how much cheaper you guys will get it for $1200?

Arata Pipes are hard to come by for the 954. I found a seller though that has them on ebay.com and bought mine on there a month back. Just search 954 and arata. He was selling it for $900.00 .

I have a full hindle titanium system with a power commander... i have been told that this is one of the best combos next to the arata setup for HP gain... i love the hindle... looks tight... lacks in the noise department so...

Where did you get it from? I have looked on the net but not many places sell them.

BurnsToughFord · 12-03-2007, 11:21 AM

came on my bike when i got it

kristribble · 12-08-2007, 7:35 PM

I have the full yosh trs race system. Anybody know how it ranks compared to the ones mentioned above? I will be getting custom map in the next few weeks so I will report back then. I have noticed it is considerably more quiet than some others I have heard. Makes me wonder if it gets less power to the ground. The paperwork that it came with said it is a race only exhaust, but mabey they all say that because thet do not meet noise restrictions.

CBR929RE · 12-08-2007, 8:15 PM

others have mentioned some good ones but I have a Sato system. love it. visually the headers look almost identical to an Arata system if I recall correctly.

okuden · 12-31-2007, 9:50 PM

That exhaust sounds and looks awesome. it's about the AJKO exhaust system that costs 1600 EURO. the sound is like a jet fighter, it is incredible loud.

i have the jardine on mine and love it good quality and good sound, i can not compare it to the factory system since my bike had the jardine on it when i bought it.

franc01 · 01-03-2008, 12:17 AM

I had a HIndle full system on my 954 and loved it, 145 whp and smooth power delivery. It had a really nice sound, loud but not crazy, overall great system.

Safe riding,
Franc

bettingpython · 01-03-2008, 8:07 AM

If your just doing a slipon I tried the Yosh, bought one it sucks, Bought a Jardine RT-1 it works great plus the oval pipe just looks good. Gonna need to power commander it to get it right though the-1 rt pipe leaves a big hole in your curve at 5500 rpm

hikaru · 01-03-2008, 11:32 AM

my mircon serpent with custom tuning on the PC3R have 140hp at the rear wheel.

Not bad as the stock power of the 954 at the crank is 154 hp

bryanclapper69 · 01-03-2008, 12:22 PM

I have a full Hindle on my 929 with a 954 motor and it put down 137 to the ground, with dyno sheets from Ryan Schnitz to prove it.

AJKO exhaust is something like RACEFIT exhaust Slashcut for Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki. Find more detail here:www.ajko.it and www.racefit.co.uk. Those are exhaust systems especially for circuits. RACEFIT exhaust systems are put on Moto GP bikes (Suzuki, Kawasaki and Yamaha). I'm happy that someone like AJKO made the Slashcut for Honda(picture above). When you put an exhaust like this on the bike and ride it on the public streets you should be very carefully because it is NOT FOR ROAD USE. It makes a lot of noise and could have serious problems with police. In Romania the law about the noise is "in the fog"(i don't know hou to say) and so most of the bikers have very loud exhast systems.

I have Micron system on my '954 and this summer i will change it to AJKO, then i'll put a short movie with exhaust and sound.

bjay51d · 01-03-2008, 5:12 PM

Not too crazy about the slash cut..I love the gp megaphone and all of the other systems they have.

macca9540 · 01-03-2008, 5:45 PM

I'm on my 3rd 954 and have had standard, Staintune & Yoshimura slip ons. Got a Yoshi TR3 full system now and there is no comparison to the others in sound & performance but with out a doubt you have to install a Power Commander PC3 to get the most out of it. I didn't beleive it could make such a difference untill I put it on.

festerjr02 · 03-30-2008, 9:28 PM

i have a Micron full systems sounds good and gives it good power my 02 954 made 139hp at the wheel with a powercommander and tuned im am please with it

leland · 03-30-2008, 9:36 PM

Since this post has been bumped a few times then once recently I will go ahead and say I went with the jardine half slip on. I bought it from starcycle off of ebay for around 355 If I remember correctly. I do enjoy it because It gave me a little more down low power I believe.

bettingpython · 03-30-2008, 11:15 PM

^Race core or street core?

I have been told just recently when I decel hard and get deceleration pops that the race core on mine barks flame like a GP or race bike.

One more thing to get the attention of cagers

OK just kidding I am reaching the point where I am seriously considering bolting my stocker back on after hearing that one.........

You think the wife who follows me about woulda said something.
