There aren't many helpful videos on RU-vid for the V-Star 950 so I figured I'd make this video to help others out. The baffles that came with the exhaust are in. No quiet baffles. Skip to 2:12 for first person perspective. Enjoy!
Josh Miller I didn't notice a big difference with the pipes and tuner. I actually noticed quite a big difference in the top end when I installed the intake.
I have a 2015 V Star 950 with Vance and Hines Slip-On Exhaust. No other mods. You're right when you say Slip-On's are "tingy". Mine definitely at certain RPM's becomes very tingy, raspy and almost like a weird loose/rattle sound lol. I love the way your entire setup sounds and I would love to duplicate it exactly! If you don't mind, what exactly do you have? 1) It's the Full System Cobra Speedster Slashdown exhaust yes? 2) Did you add a Fuel Management System or a Fuel Processor? 3) Was it easy to install or did you have to fabricate some parts? 4) Does it still backfire like crazy like with the Slip-On's? 5) Any problems with over-heating or loss of power or spark plug fouling or horrible fuel economy? 6) What happens to the factory installed O2 sensor? 7) Did you add an air intake? Thanks for your time Sydewayz Stan and a reply would be much appreciated!!!!!!!
gob2003 1. Cobra slashdown full exhaust 2. Power commander 5 (fuel only) 3. No fabrication needed, but it is a tight fit and takes some time to get everything lined up 4. There is a slight gurgling sound on decel, not really much "popping" 5. No problems. Fuel economy is about the same 6. O2 sensor is swapped over to the new pipes 7. I have the cobra powerflo intake. The intake made the huge difference in the top end and makes the bike pull over a wider rpm range. ENJOY!
This is the sound of my V-Star 1300 with Cobra Dragsters. Both the 950 and 1300 sound pretty damn good. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LIVx2cuDbR8.html
