Do you think you'd be fine with just removing the spark arrestor? it sounds 10x better but i dont want to affect the flow rate too much. Called the honda dealer and they said its fine cause theres a cat where the headers go 2 in 1
The dyno results show how much back pressure was still in the muffler as the run with the muffler removed was almost identical to the run with the muffler in place. Yet the Akra made more power than no muffler at every point in the curve. A testament to the well designed scavenging of the Akra, and that the cat is the biggest restriction in the exhaust.
As happens exactly with the MIVV, around 5000 rpm the small power hole becomes enormous. The slip-on alone is only pejorative. Only the sound benefits.
Think it’s possible to get 100hp and 75ftlbs at the wheel? I run my transalpine without the spark arrestor all the time, sounds much better but I really want it to sounds like a pack of mad dogs. I want to do a decat but there zero aftermarket fuel modules right now and no mod shops near me.
Where did you see Honda Canada claiming the HP? I've heard of Canadian dealers telling people lies about having the Euro spec bikes, but have not seen anything claimed from Honda themselves. We have the same bike as the US, so around 83 hp. Confirmed by the HP peak as the US bike is claimed at 8500 vs the Euro spec at 9500.
Same muffler we have in the US with the one small hole exit at the spark arrester for the exhaust, it's a very restricted exhaust can. And look inside it, cause it gets worse exhaust flow than any other mufflers I have ever seen. The Euro Transalp 750 mufflers maybe less restricted.
Yup. It’s our only option to fix the stealth flat black right now. I don’t recommend this one though unless all you care about is slapping colour on it.
I have to admit I like the looks, is your comment based on quality or it’s just not a scheme you like. Thanks for the dyno info, been tough to get any info on the Cdn spec bikes.
@@wallymurray620 I don't mind the look, it's the quality of the kit. The graphics layout is terrible so there is a bunch of lines you have no hope of lining up, and some of the pieces make no sense why one is 1 piece and another is 3.
