GoldenPenguin Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share Posted November 30, 2015 Longggggg overdue response, but thats interesting you have so much clearance. I wonder if they switched to a smaller diameter outer can. Thats great you don't have any issues though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Seeing this post too late. Graves told me there were centerstand issues so I went with an Arrow system I'm real happy with the Arrow but wanted the Graves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sound great and seem to make the same power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member michael Posted February 13, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 13, 2016 Installed the Graves setup on my 2015 this morning. I did have to use the washer spacing trick, and found it easier to use a little longer bolt than the supplied one because with the extra washers it was hard to get it all together. Just took it for a little test ride. Baffle in, this thing is pretty loud, borderline obnoxious. It does feel like it picked up some midrange ponies along with the top end ones, and the midrange stuff will be a lot more useful to me. Looks great, nice workmanship on everything, and I was able to BUY AMERICAN, which doesn't happen often these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will completely open it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member michael Posted February 13, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 13, 2016 My plan is to send the ECU in for a flash during the downtime while Matt Patton works on my forks. Not sure who to have do the flash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member michael Posted February 14, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 14, 2016 Beautiful pipe. I hope it is not too loud for you. I happen to like it louder, but to each his/her own. I actually like the sound. But I don't like to draw attention from the cops, and I am a little worried it will do that. Of course the volume is governed by the twist grip and gear chosen at any given moment, so I can modulate it some. It is sure nowhere near the volume of your average HD, but cops seem to ignore loud HDs like it is a law of physics that they have to be loud. I suppose if I were to get cited for it, it is not that big a deal to switch back to stock. More likely if I behave myself in towns and don't let 'er rip until I am out in the boonies, I'll be OK. My KTM 690 was pretty loud, and I had an Akrapovic CF system on my V-Strom and never got hassled about those. I think mostly it was the shock of the contrast between the very very quiet stocker and the Graves when I first fired it up. I'll get used to it.

I have a modified stock exhaust with the Graves tune (I used the flashtune software and hardware to install it myself), and I like that tune.

likebutta Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Been debating on whether or not to get a full exhaust system. Obviously, Akrapovic is always a contender but I am have some interest in the Graves. That said, I'm not sure if I like the look of the Carbon can. Wish they did full on titanium. Akrapovic isn't bad at all though they seem to be quite a bit heavier as it isn't full titanium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akrapovic isn't bad at all though they seem to be quite a bit heavier as it isn't full titanium.I went with the Graves over the Akrapovic for several reasons: 1) made in USA. Like to Buy American when I can 2) I think the Akrapovik is ugly with the three outlets 3) Graves is lighter because of the TI headers and CF can I am an Akrapovic fan (have one on my KTM 350 EXC-F and had one on my Suzuki V-Strom 650) but I think they missed it on the FJ-09.

triplerider Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Are you guys buying any sort of FI controller or just sending your ECU's to get flashed? I know one of the features of the Graves is the extra bung hole for such controllers, but I guess its not needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
