Very very very very nice and shinny. I like it:Speedy_Superhero_Q3

Now we're talking, �180 ?? for a can and link pipes ??

That is a bl00dy good deal by any standard, even better if they could do it without the bike. How's about posting some contact details, I'm fairly sure they'll get some trade out of this :toothy5:

A couple of questions though,

Weight ?? how much is the saving over the stock 8Kg setup ??

Noise, it's always a bug bear, but better to keep within limits, and long distances with loud pipes can be, erm, irritating to say the least - I think so anyway. They are going to be louder, but how loud ??

Clearly this is going to need the fueling adjusted, but at a combined price of PCv can and link pipe (dyno'd) at around �700 it's a crakingly good option. Obviously, it only needs one bike to have the dyno treatment so someone has the possibility of offsetting thier costs here by donation sharing.

Great move this, I'm not so sure about the bling/shiney look, but a couple of slides in the dirt will sort that out.

�180 - Can't believe it! Did you have to sleep with them ?? :respeck:

I still think that aftermarket exhausts don't fit the design, they always create large gaps (next to the lights and above the muffler).
The exhausts look very cool, but just not on the bike (if you ask me).

The problem with any single can is volume - unless you put a kink in it (like a KTM 640A can for example), it cannot follow the line of the frame exactly and offer enough volume... sure it would be possible, but it is all greater expense - and to be honest, the KTM can is hidden behind a side panel, were it exposed like on the Tenere, it would look just as odd (like a fat boomerang) but in a different way?

I think the pipe that 'Simmi' has made is a great budget alternative for anyone who wants a single can (although I'd prefer to see it skinned in satin alloy rather than bright stainless), and there is plenty of space on the other side for a tool tube - either the plastic ones Adventure-Spec sell, or even a metal fabricated one to match the silencer?

Certainly the one thing a single can does highlight is how clunky the rear light unit looks once the stock (twin exit) exhaust is removed... I replaced mine with a DRC Anato unit on the rally bike, but if the stock light is retained I would agree the bike needs something to visually balance it out from the rear?

thats a great price,i like the look give me a 2-1 system everytime http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

steady on guys, I am stillwaiting to pick the bike up yet, you are all very excited.

Simmi, you can get his info via a popular auction site and search simmi, his contact detail is readilly available there.

�180, didn't sleep with him, no, theres nothing queer about Simmi exhausts,

nice pipe nice price

when you get the bike back can you update as too noise/performance/weight etc

are there any other skin options I fancy black or grey (just like the weather for the next 6 months)

OK, in short, the pipe is on, and ridden home for the first time tonight, 12 miles through town then 16 milesdual carriageway. Bear in mind please this is the first time on the bike in a little over a week so judgements may be a little blurred.

Pros:

Weight
Price
Noise
Looks
Apparently no need for re fuelling.
removable baffle
Burble
No, or certainly less surging.

Cons:

Tingley in the seat due to less weight over the back end, i think.
The fact that you must get this done.
needing to take bike to exhaust manufacturer

As stated my judgement may be a little blurred due to not being able to ride the bike, fit the can then ride off, I haven't rode the bike in a week. Noise is not offensive and has a nice burble on over run with some cracks. Lots more power at top end, the bike struggles towards the top in top gear, not so much now, as for bottom end, roads were a bit poo tonight so did not want to crack the throttle open just to have it spin out, but acceleration is clean through the rev range from just above 3 grand.

Less surging, it would appear, the old system I think is pants for surging whilst filtering, looks like that has now been reduced somewhat.

Need to have a play with this, but do not expect to have to get the fuel remapped,

Only one thing to do now, tell you guys to get one sorted, however you decide to do it, and enjoy, I need to staret playing with it now,

I have also cut the snorkel from my airbox, all is good, want to take spark plug out in a few days to confirm its not running lean.

Can is stainless steel, it can be ran through a polishing machine to give it a brushed look,

Enduro end caps will be available but only on round and not oval cans, carbon option yes, no ally,

�180 upover for the base model and link pipe, the link pipe has about 6 pieces in it to get the angles, for the first few he needs the bike, in the understanding the orig pipework runs into the bike as opposed to out. Wuite complicated were his words.

Nice one stormtrooper, I like the news that you feel like theres no need to re-map.
Please ride the ****** and do a plug chop to confirm the mixture, you don't wanna burn valves out and all that!!. If the mixtures OK then I'll be straight down to get one made, as I can't afford a PCV -the cost does not warrant a small HP gain in my books.
I spoke to Simmi the other day and he initially said he was concerned about the differences in volume between the standard and a siungle silencer, and also suggested that he could do a double pipe set up too, which may be attractive to punters wanting to retain a "balanced" look to the bike.I suppose then, that a dummy can for storage would not be too difficult for him either. Seems like an all-round nice bloke, with a cracking little set up too!!
Hurry up and let me know about your mixture findings- I feel an early chrimbo present coming on!!

That's fair, although I would say that the PCV in conjunction with the DNA filter/airbox lid and an exhaust will make a significant difference in performance - at least 10% - and also how and where the power is released... which is dramatic I can tell you!
