Did you put the stock exhaust back on when you brought your bike in for the service? Did they say anything about warranty or is it fine?

Nope, I left the CW GP on, they said it looked great and didn't give me any issues about warranty stuff.

Let's hope it stays that way...

Good to know. Ill keep mine on.

Hmm, isn't it going to restrict the airflow a little bit too much?

It looks like it but thats what its designed to do to lower the dB level. Slow the exhaust gasses before they exit. Just like my firearm silencers work. (same concept at least)

I can always play around with a dremel when Im bored. lol

I've been considering taking a dremel to mine too..using the same principles as a firearm suppressor and drilling evenly spaced holes on the insert has some serious possibilities....you go first tho

Comp werkes fender kit and integrated tail light.

I just installed my CW Fender eliminator....the instructions left a little to be desired and was a very tight fit for the Motodynamics Integrated tail light adapter cable.  Mine is stainless in color, your looks black....did you paint yours?

Yeah I painted mine black with krylon fusion(4 coats) and then used a UV clear coat on it.(4 coats)  [beer]And yes the intructions sucked but it is what it is.

Skip to 3:50. A little different than drilling holes
Glock 19 Gen4 + AAC TiRant9 silencer Video Review

Thx, I'll be removing my CW Fender eliminator and painting it soon...not looking forward to it tho.  I may make some minor modifications to it to manage the wires better.

As for the suppressor.  I had watched that video before.  The baffle system featured is far more advanced and newer than old style cans.  What I was going for by suggesting evenly spaced holes drilled on the insert would be to allow even expansion of the exhaust gasses.  And you suck by the way.      I live in California and I'm guessing you are a firefighter.  Well, I wear blue and even I can't have a suppressor......

Hahahahaha, I knew what you meant as well

has anyone with the CW exhaust sent in their ECU in to have it reflashed?  I am seriously considering this exhaust for my evo over the termi's just from the stand point of cost alone.  Easily save 1000 bones to spend on other upgrades by going with the CW's.  A little anxious about not knowing how the reflash will turn out though.  especially considering that my dealership will probably poo poo it.  Thoughts?

Nope, I'm actually very happy with the way the CW is running WITH INSERT.  Without the insert you get a lot of popping on decel.  It is very revvy tho .  I plan on changing the air filter out shortly, after that I will see if a reflash is needed.  As of now tho, I don't feel it is necessary.

I was in the same boat you were in as well.  I really wanted the Termi's, but after installing the CW and seeing how much it cleaned up the bike I don't feel I compromised at all.

I called speedy moto today and talked to them about the ECU flash.  The tech I spoke with said that the bike is going to run fairly lean with the CW exhaust and that without the reflash and new air filter that it could cause damage in the long term (piston).  The tech said it would sound fine and even feel like it is  running well without the ECU though.
I really like the way it looks on the bike, really clean. I'm not really looking forward to pulling the darn tank off to get to the ecu (done this twice already) but I think if I go with the CW I will bite the bullet just so everything is good.

UPDATE

Ok I picked up my bike from the dealer yesterday and they said when they checked the exhaust gasses that it was running a tad lean at idle. But the mechanic said it can be misleading because the bike wasnt under load(dyno). He recommended taking it to a dyno and doing a couple runs to see if it richens under load as runing a tad lean at idle wont hurt it.

Im going to track down bike dyno around me and get it done soon. If it runs lean I guess Ill just save for the termi kit.
