Fireblade 08 - Aftermarket Exhaust

saint619 · 09-09-2008, 5:22 PM

Taylormade is one of the worst exhaust systems you can get for performance. Look at the set up. Its 2 boxes how can boxes be good for air flow especially after the bends it goes through to get there. Look up the dyno's they make crap for power.

Whos has bought the Youshi and is the two brothers louder then it?

Didn't read the whole thread so someone might have already mentioned it, but DandD offers some badass pipes for the 08 blade

Why o why would you do that

papadaca · 09-10-2008, 4:19 AM

that D ND looks tacky

KrazyRdR83 · 09-11-2008, 10:16 AM

it does

Has anyone tried a KR Tuned exhaust? I like the look, but don't know how they sound or perform. I do know they are expensive. Just curious if anyone has an experience with these on any bike.

Hmm doesnt look as good or work as well as a Yoshi full system and cost more

WElllllllll, i know many will beg to differ but i do like the dual exhaut

but d&d should at least decvolped witha cover for the pipes unde the engine. Other then that, is looks pretty nice to me btu i still think the youshi would look slioghty better....the question is which one sounds or performs better...anyone know the answer to this?

Looks are a matter of opinion and everyone is entitled to theirs. Why do you say it doesn't work as well? I'm not defending the KR pipe because I've never used one. I'm just looking for information and thought maybe some people here have tried them. I've read pros & cons from people about other brands so I thought I'd ask.

There has been 1 tested on dyno here but not sure what thread or by whom, did look but cant find, i do know it comes in under the 170 at rear wheel the Yoshi makes.

It is true that aftermarket exhaust systems do reduce horsepower for the lack of back pressure isn't set up in the factory fuel map, nothing a Power Commander and some time on a dyno with a trained technician won't cure.

Thanks for the info. I'll look around and see if I can find any more information.

Russ

trust me when i put a slip on my bike

i didnt notice much power gains
but when i did the flapper valve mod
the bike came alive.

if your engine can breathe u will have way more power.

its like some one only giving u a small hole to breathe though while your trying to run then you can breathe through your mouth.

the flapper mod may actually give you more horsepower then what the dyno says
you have to add in ram air effect into the equation.

only way to mimic this on a dyno is to get a huge fan and manage to have all that air blow into your bikes air intake

I love that tailormade exhaust, its beautiful. How hard was it to install?

Easy but it doesn't work well and mine was a pig to stop from blowing at the join.

AkroEdge540 · 09-23-2008, 12:02 AM

That really sucks. did it give you any power increases?

sb1000rr · 09-23-2008, 12:10 AM

i had the same prob with the taylor on my gixxer, very poorly made for 900 bucks....

Nothing at all maybe even a slight loss up top although you do get some mid and low gains.

KrazyRdR83 · 09-23-2008, 9:03 AM

What from Taylormade them selves

KrazyRdR83 · 09-23-2008, 8:18 PM

no....from other people that have them installed

sb1000rr · 09-23-2008, 8:28 PM

maybe the tuning shops loaded up the dyno's on those bikes so the owners wouldnt cry coz their 900 bucks made no difference....lol

KrazyRdR83 · 09-23-2008, 8:34 PM

lol...wow ok.

The bike definitly pulls harder off the bottom than with the stock exhaust. You also lose about 13lbs, the stock can is huge and heavy.

If you weigh the stock can it only weighs 13.1 lbs so you are not going to lose 13lbs if you install another exhaust system.
