Guzzi Tech GT-Rx [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] And SuperTrapp [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Anybody got experience with either of these? A bit late to the party, but I am running a GTRX shorty and "y" pipe. I actually bought Todd's shorty prototype from him after originally running one of his original slip ons. If he had already been making the under exit, I would have gotten that one. I run the pipe without the db killer so it is LOUD. Louder than most sane people would tolerate, but it sounds soooo good, I just won't put the db killer back in. The sound the bike makes gets compliments all the time - (despite how loud it is). I have been told more times than I can remember "that is the best sounding exhaust I've ever heard...now that is what a real motorcycle sounds like, etc." How was the prior gt rx pipe? Did you get the titanium left side exit? | |

| Look, I know it will be labeled as 'hating' which it isn't but your bike will NOT run anywhere near its optimum with a pipe like that on it. It's an atrocious *Design* crafted with zero understanding of how the engine works. Whether it might actually be damaging I can't say but it would definitely be damn near impossible to get to work either efficiently or economically. If 'Pretty' and 'Loud' are important to you? Fine. But the bike will run like a three legged donkey with a spear up its chuff.

Give me a week and ill see what funds/bills are like I am interested. A few sites have it listed at about $700+ shipping. What would you like to get for it?
Uses the same hardware as the stocker. I did about 8000 km with it. It has some road grime on it.

Pete The way you describe how bad pipe design alters the bikes performance makes me chuckles. | |

Pete Pete, Knowing your knowledge and dedication to the quirky Guzzi beasts that we are all crazy enough to own and love, I definitely don't take the comments as "hating" . As I have found over my lifetime of being a gear head, that is unfortunately obsessed with trying to improve from stock both the bikes and cars that I own, it is rare indeed to find total agreement from experts (I definitely count both you and TE in that category) when it comes to the art of tuning/modifications. Looks and sound were/are strong influences for my choice in exhaust set up, with improved performance over stock also being on the list (that goes for my cars too). If I did not have the fueling mods I've got, I'm sure your performance description running this exhaust system would be spot on, but if she is running like a 3 legged donkey with a spear up her chuff now, the description for a stock G11 would really require some creativity:lol: ! Riding mine back to back with a friend's stock G11 (with Mistral slip on), the subjective performance difference is huge. And the objective horsepower and torque curves I ended up with after dyno tuning are significantly better than typical stock curves. I wish I had the money to put the bike on the dyno and run various systems/set ups and find the "ideal", but alas, my attempts to win the lottery have thus far been unsuccessful:( . | |

| 1100 isn't as sensitive to the charge transition issues as the 1200. My mistake, you can probably get away with a can like that on an 1100 even with a host of GT add ons and attempts at a map.

| Comments on install of the Mistral Hi Pipe-
This is no big deal but might serve as a cautionary note to those buying this much in demand pipe-
1. The graphite sleeve in the stocker is not used. Fit of the Mistral pipe over the stock exhaust tube is very tight. I recommend smoothing the joints with Scotchbrite or fine sandpaper- especially the end pieces. I also used a little swipe of anti-sieze paste to ease the fit. Still required some higgling/jiggling to go on.
2. The Mistral when lined up with the stock mounting support left the crimp slots ( on Mistral) uncovered. I had to scribe then alter the Mistral mounting tab with a Dremel to get mounting support bolt located and new pipe engaged far enough with the exhaust tube so those slots were covered and sealed.
Looks much better. I was going to buck the tide and use the stock pipe with it's large volume but it just covered up too much on the left side. And it is, as one would expect, a pretty heavy piece. With all the rain we've had the pipe still hasn't been tested for sound so that remains to be done this weekend hopefully. | |

| Manufacturing variances I guess and no gripes about the little amount of work for install. Did a short ride with the new pipe today and sounds mellow but with a nice sound and maybe I'm imagining this but the GRiSO felt a little more nimble with less heft out back. | |

Just out of curiosity, if you are selling the Termi... what exhaust do you plan to run on your bike? And why? I haven't made my decision yet. Unfortunately, with just 100 miles on my bike - it is at the dealer as it won't start. A relay keeps popping when the key is turned and the dash says ECU disconnected. I'm sure it'll get sorted out soon... | |

| The Termi hasn't been on my GRiSO for about 12,000 km. I replaced it with the Mistral Hi-Pipe.
Why? The Mistal with the proper map produced enough torque to pull down small buildings. It weighs 1.9 kg. The Termi weighs 5kg. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ..[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.].In GRiSO we trust! . | |

Also, if I may ask, can I get a copy of the proper map for the Mistral Hi-Pipe? I am happy to pay/donate/whatever. Don't won't to be a mooch. Adam | |

| Sure. PM me your email address and I'll flick you both Mistral maps. The with-dBk map has as much top end as the a stock exhaust. Probably a wee bit more. The no-dBk has a bit less low down grunt than the with-dBk map, but a tad more top end. Still better than a stock pipe at both ends. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ..[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.].In GRiSO we trust! . | |

Still better than a stock pipe at both ends. Thanks Beetle. PM sent. Interestingly, I can't seem to find any videos or pics with any GRiSOs with the wired wheels. Would like to see what that would look like. Quick question, it looks as if the later version of the hi-pipe has welded bends rather than curved sections. Any idea why? Adam | |

| As ar as I know they all have been welded. I don't think the made one with bends only. Have a look at Al's custom Agostini 'Hi-Pipe'. You'll get an idea of what it looks like with spokes wheels.

The pics do look nice. I like freeing up the wheel. Did make me think. What bike (year) do you have and what differences are their to a 2015? I had thought for everything that would matter in this regard they are the same. Is that accurate? | |

| I have a 2010 model. Mine has flat tappets. It came with the same stock map as yours. There is a question as to whether the flat tappets v rollers have a different effect on the engine. The cams are different, but the net lift and duration are the same. That's why thay use the same map. However Guzzi are lazy and even if the different top end caused a difference, they are just as likely to ignore it. In my opinion however, the end result is that they have the same performance. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ..[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.].In GRiSO we trust! . | |

| [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Unfortunately we got severe restrictions when using mufflers and exhaust system. On my first GRiSO i had this TUEV-approved system by [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] You have to change the rearcover, the signs, the mounting of the plate - so it is quite expensive - but legal here in Germany. The sound is mouthwatering great - and the improvent of torque and horsepower too. But when I lost my job I had to sell the GRiSO - and sold the BOS-Exhaust seperately to a friend. Roland Däs does offer a single-can version too. I really do not like the classical oval design, but the sound was great, even deeper than the double-can-version. And is is way cheaper... Compared to the Zard, the BOS-Double-Cans sound much more agressive. And compared to the OEM-Exhaust there is a strong increase of torque and horsepower too. see: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] | |

| I burned through 17 pages of this thread and am still on the fence, is a new pipe for looks and sound or do any of them show a actual increase in performance? Besides being lighter, or moving the flat spots around the rev range which I feel is simply robbing Peter to pay Paul. Any improvements to a G11 that can actually be backe up by numbers? | |

Just needs carbon fibre wheels. Great job with the customization! I love it! Where did you get the headlight cage? | |
