I do not understand all the anger, derogatory remarks, and wanting to cut this thread up into pieces here? You wont EVER see me at the track Trans. And you know why.

I didnt have the guy running the dyno pull any smoke and mirrors, or "fix" the results in anyway. These are legit numbers of the bike with the mods I have made. It was a very humid day and approximately 88 degrees outside. Would anyone rather I NOT post them here on forum?

Mission accomplished, back to cutting my lawn.

Let me guess... You have full termis???

I do. But they came with my bike. Would I shell out the money for them brand new? Probably not. I don't care about the few extra HP they provide over the slips.

But to say they are worse than stock, well thats a little bias I think.
 
Evol- you got the most stellar deal anyone has ever seen on eBay on that Tri man!
Nothing on that bike is worth taking off! Great deal and I applaud you my friend!
 
Personally, I don't care for an arbitrary number at the top of RPM curve, but am very pleased to see that the midrange dip is not really a dip, but merely an indentation.
Thanks for sharing.

I agree...but there's not much doubt (is there??) that they do not deliver the expected performance (canned tune) and are poor value for money when compared to the slips... But I am sure that with a bespoke tune they are probably going to give you some good numbers.. But I have never found any canned tune to be worth much...all bikes are different..this is why I am not clear why people are jumping on the TB tune... I love the idea of the CC but no way a generic tune will work well on all bikes...

The ONLY way to measure real horsepower versus another bike is to run them at the same 1/4 mile strip, and see which traps higher.

You actually are retarded. On a drag strip you have a billion intangibles effecting the resulting trap speed. Shift points, rider weight, rider wind resistance, track condition and probably dozens of others that effect the number you receive on your time slip.

Turning the throttle in a closed room environment where nothing matters except a ....... rolling drum inside the dyno. You could sit a 400lb pig on the bike and it would still make the same horsepower as if you sat a 50lb child on it and let him twist the throttle.

Ignorance is bliss in your case. Let the grown ups talk here.

Gunny I appreciate you posting your results. I understand horsepower, and the process in which it is made.

I will also appreciate when you post those pictures of your sexy bike with all its bling. I'm looking in to rear sprocket/carrier/bolts/nuts/chain myself too. Interested in seeing your setup.

I agree, Gunny needs to post some pics.

As to you my Canadian friend, we will have to agree to disagree. Im sure using your VAST dyno operator experience, you would know you can change a HP output number very easily - with the change of a few settings. Not to mention, the different types of dynos out there, and their different readings. But you already knew this, because you obviously know everything.

Im sure you're saying you can measure bikes output very easily by strapping the 2 bikes on the same dyno one after another, and using the same dyno settings, and having the computer .... out a number. In that case, I can agree - slightly.

Different sprocket sizes, wheel weights, gear the run was done in, bikes sensor readings, wheelspin, etc, all have an effect on the number the computer decides to be the HP figure. Again, dynos are for measuring change on the same bike. They're a tuning tool, that happens to spit out an arbitrary number.

Who's trying to be the tough guy again? Instead of being a hypocrite, report my post if it irks you so much.

You're an idiot if you think I'm being serious.

fact is a full system is totally not worth it. i looked into it heavily and if it were worth it i would have bought it. its a marketing ploy to make you think you need it. most after market full systems are to reduce weight maybe remove the cat. thats it. why buy another SS pipe when you already have one?

the pipe is 20mm larger this drops performance because the gases expand in side the pipe instead of having it pulled through at a faster pace. i forgot what its called but its like what undertow is. all the water pulling into a smaller opening creates a force. i would have got it if it were same as stock titanium.

4k for 5 hp give me a break and a loss in mid range to gain some on top end which you will never use. On a 25k bike thats 20% the cost of a bike or a used say cbr1000rr for the track.

It really depends on what you are planning to do with the Full system. When I first installed my Full System, it gave me 185.90 HP and increase of about 10 HP from stock. Not only did it gave me more HP at the top but it increased power slightly in the low, mid and high just with the Ducati latest Up map. The 20mm larger diameter does not drop performance as one of Termi's competitor states, but it causes the mid to stay somewhat flat but does not drop. You need the extra 20mm when tuning the engine such as cam's, air intake, higher compression pistons. This engine can really pull some serious air into the engine. The cam timing alone will increase your bikes HP performance significantly more than the exhaust system would ever give. Ive done mine already and the HP increase is crazy stupid and Im waiting on custom built high compression pistons and unfortunately I needed to spend the $3K on the exhaust system that can handle it. The Ti material headers does not give more power it just gives you weight savings but the cost would be tremendous. The HP to cost ratio on a Ti exhaust system to me would insane because the exhaust systems mod gives you the least amount of HP increase but it the most expensive.

Again??? When did I begin? I guess I couldn't see the humor in your typing... I'll go back to cutting the grass. I guess that's why your the thought police...:)

I guess sarcasm and cynicism eludes the best of us. If I were the thought police I ought to lock you up for endangering yourself by thinking :p.


I planned to drop it before you came in here ready to drop 'bows. We can go back and forth all day if that's what you want, duking it out on the Internet is pretty productive.

Yeah, good one... Hahaa! It would be tough for you to be the thought police when your the worst offender.:rolleyes:

Yup, I'm done with this as it's as productive as your other 2,694 posts.:p

Keep it coming, you're doing well. I like how you targeted my post count, great troll technique.
