Hey Cafe,cafe59 said:I have read that you can drill out a hole in the exhaust.
I'm a newbie myself, bought mine late sept
learning a lot from dtt
prob read it all 3 times for it to make sense to me
Having said that I'll give u my thoughts on my mech mods
1. egr did little to change performance but its ugly! chucked it
and capped off,
this was my first fabrication job ever
2. spark plug, toss the standard and bought a ngk ......
havent got the number in front of me can post it later for u
i noticed a clear performance increase with this
3. cut the cat off/out !! how and which u choose, will come down to your patience and
if you or a friend can weld. me a carton of beer at my mates factory for an hour or so did the trick
as u can see by the picture attached it really restrictive ( approx 100mm long)
drilling a hole in the end of the muffler is pretty well useless?
and there is another in muffler section
4.technical info I read,but know nothing about , but sounds fair
keep length of exhaust past rear axle (approx) and keep some back pressure
(straight thru sounds awesome in my garage) but really does need that back pressure
to make the gains, (still messing with this)
5. some guys r re-jetting standard carby?
I went in the deep end with a chinese mikuni
prob should gone with the real thing but hey it's $40 bucks from china
what could possibly go wrong?
My thinking was if it didnt go right , swap the old one back?
without risking my weekend ride (also still messing with this!)
lucky for me this was winner thou a little awkward to adjust due to screw placement
anyway sorry I'm starting to ramble on here!
6. Now I had freed up air intake , exhaust and created power
7. geared up the front cog to 16T loving this!! ordering a 17T
to see if I can wind some more out of this puppy! ;D
enjoy the ride .....
cheers ACEitup
