Yet another exhaust post.. sorry

I've got a 2016 GRiSO. It's got the stock exhaust still, but it's got to go. At leaste from the y pipe back. First and foremost, I'm not racing it so as long as I don't lose power I don't care about performance increases. I really am hoping to be louder and have the machine run smoother. Oh and show off the single sided swing arm.
I've read a bunch of posts and I was thinking the arrow slip on (with the db killer removed). I love the looks of the ipothesys half system but I can't find where to buy it. What are your thoughts? Ps. I don't want to mess with the computer till the factory warrenty is up

Mistral Hi-Pipe.

Got a soft spot for the Termignoni, but that’s probably because it’s what I have on mine! Like the clean lines it has and the stainless steel finish. The note is also about spot on for me. Beautiful throb at idle, nice deep tone through the mid range, and a bit of bark at the higher end of the revs. The dB killer must stay in though.

Only caveat to this is that you may get some popping on the overrun. Mine did until I had some mapping work done. Others have had no such problems though even with the stock map, so go figure. The sooner you upgrade your mapping to bypass the stupid lambda thing, the better anyway.

vote 2 for the termi, as i too have one and think it suits the lines of the bike, and sounds nice wth the DB killers in it, along with Marks latest map that stops the popping on the overun, although i personally dont mind them :-)

If i were going to change it i like the agostini HF slip on, altough they are not cheap and i am not sure how they run, just like the look

I have the Agostini HF in carbon along with a beetle map and couldn't be happier,,, thanks Mark

I have the Agostini too. Heather says it's too quiet.

I love the looks and performance and weight reduction of the Mistral high-pipe. Along with beetle's map, the performance is fantastic. My only complaint would be that the sound is not so great (I am using it with the db-killer). I don't want loud, but I was hoping for a nicer engine note. Still, I very much prefer it over stock and I'm really happy with it overall.

And it really does show off the single-sided swingarm nicely. It is also great if you want to customize further by removing the passenger peg bracket; its position lets you attach it nicely with a bracket, like this:

I understand the "show off the single sidearm."  Sort of.

I also understand the weight reduction, but if I really cared about that, I'd drop some of mine first

[As a relevant aside, I've started a gym regimen.  Lessee how that works.    Seriously, did that because of weight, but more because of strength.  This whole aging thing is painful.  OTOH, many folks at the gym today looked VERY good in spandex. Very.  ]

Back to exhausts.  I like the looks and sound of the OEM.  It's the rare Italian who doesn't have better taste in art and design than I do, so I tend to like stock Italian products.  I also think it melodious and loud enough to please me -- a deaf bastard -- without offending voters.

Obviously, based on the numerous cries here for louder and different, YMMV.  È la vita.

Heading down to the Moto Grappa now to just look at the GRiSO and its harem mates.  Spring weather kicks winter down to Oz on Thursday.  Can't wait.

Well, Thanks heaps Bill. Can you get it to hold off for 6 more weeks - we have a Cabal in 5!

Oh you are welcome to come as well, you can even bring Kathi! Seriously we will get you down here one day, and many of us will ride from near and far to catch up over ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, - bet you can't wait?

Hey Guzeee, can you post another angle of the screen on your bike. It looks like a Marlin? I am interested in what they look like as I have the Dart and was thinking of something alittle larger.

Yes, it's this one: [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Here is a good view of the windscreen:

I'm not sure how much it does for airflow, but I love the way it looks

The Termi has a built in cat if the green brigade float your boat.

Bill, good for you. I started in the gym/exercise Jan 8th and I have lost 18 pounds of unsprung weight LOL From 198 to 180 and going for 175 before I level off. Not many people in my gym at 2:30 in the afternoon.

I am running the GPR without the db killer. I got a lot of red on my neck I guess, and a harley guy from the 70's

I do like the look of the high pipe, not sure if it would work with the C bow bag system

Nice thank you, just love the black on black

Thanks! There is some subtle black-on-black stuff going on besides the black powder-coated frame and black exhaust. It's a 2009, which originally came with a silver exterior on the instrument panel nacelle and headlight, but this has been replaced with black parts from a later year. That, along with the smoked windscreen blacks out the front. Then there are little things like black footpegs, rear turn signals, etc.
