1200 Pikes Peak Leovince

I ran the LV decat pipe with the OE end can and felt that the exhaust sensors were richening up the fuel to compensate but gave in and got a remap about 6 months after fitting. Bike performed a lot better after the remap and 20,000 or so miles later it’s still performing Andy

 

It's going to be real loud....

 

It is but that’s what ear plugs are for Andy

 

A decat with the near empty Termi stubby? That end can was meant to run with a noise absorbing cat, it'll be obscene with the stubby mate? Decat needs the longer Termi or an end can with some noise suppression baffling or it will be REALLY loud.

 

#4 Andy

 

Yes Andy, but at your age, ya deaf anyway

 

If you got the bucks, have it mapped

 

Yep....... It's really loud.. unless you like it like that because you USED TO BE IN ARTILLERY !!!!

 

Direct comparison, my 1098R with full 70mm race system is a mellow slightly disappointing BOOM that should be louder than it actually is. My 1st gen, 1200 Multistrada with LV decat and OE end can is a different kettle of fish, up around 7k rpm it has a harsh infectious edge that is just shouty LOUD. Loud enough to be heard accelerating hard about a mile away. Andy

 

Way louder. Imho.

Think Screaming Eagles on a Hardley Ableson

 

You want to stop lending your bike to the missus lol

 

I got around to fitting the LV decat at the weekend- also have termi slip-on . It is quite loud , but no louder than my Diavel with a Remus slip-on without baffle
Ordered the optional baffle for the LV in case I decide its too loud ...

 

Fitted the baffle and it’s sounds nice ....
will get it tuned now (I have the Tuneboy system) and compare performance with and without the baffle as I seem to recall CJ posting that the baffle had a negative effect on power

 

It does have a negative effect... tested Leo Vince on a Dyno..... I only fitted the baffle if I was going out with a group for the day.
