Hi, I'm also looking at getting an SC Project pipe. The one I'm looking at says it gets rid of the mid cat so a tune is required. I'm new to this whole street bike thing but loving it (coming from enduros). So my question is, is a tune the same as say getting an Arrow map or it is saying you need to run it on a dyno for a custom tune?

 

Most slip-ons by them self you can usually get away without getting a tune due to the Fi system. But with getting rid of the cat will open the airflow enough that you should get it tuned. Installing a generic map should get you by also but will get better performance with a custom tune.

 

Also when you say it's loud, loud enough to have to wear ear plugs?

 

Here is a fly by video of a S1 on a 765, your neighbors may need ear plugs too. :grin2:

 

I recently took the baffle out of the slip on SC Project exhaust. It is a very noticeable difference in loudness. It was to the point that after I returned from my ride without the baffle, I put it back in. I wear a full face helmet which gives good noise protection and I couldn't bare the volume without the baffle. I think it's quote on quote 'perfect' with the baffle, I love the sound this exhaust has.

As for a 'tune' yes like another poster said it refers to a remap of the computer for the new exhaust. I opted not to get one for now since the bike is running fine. However, remaps, I believe, are for when your bike is either running lean or rich. If you do get a remap, I prefer the Arrow remap, it pretty much is the one to go with when changing out an exhaust. Hope that helps, good luck with whatever exhaust you go with.
