hammer Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I can live with decell "pops". Performance loss is another thing altogether. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The end all... I mailed Akrapovic and here's their response: Question: Hello from Canada, I have a question regarding you titanium exhaust S-Y9R3-HAFT for a 2015 Yamaha FJ-09. With this exhaust installed, with the Db killer in, does ANY remapping, or reflash of the ECU need to be done? Or, is it a straight "bolt on and go" application and it will not harm the bike's performance in any way? I have asked some dealers, and I keep getting different answers. Any clarification in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Thanks. Answer: Hello Mark, I received a copy of your email from Akrapovic. They asked me to forward their response: “No remapping is needed in this case with or without noise insert. No worries about the engine needed. Performance graphs on our web page are showing the results without remapping. In case remapping is needed due to lean engine we clearly mentioned this on our web page. We expect that with EURO4 regulation we will have more cases when remapping will be needed, especially with complete lines. Thank you.” Cheers!

xpress Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 My only fear with the titanium system is riding in wet weather, I don't want to crack anything. Any experiences with riding in rain and a titanium system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocky5000100 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 That's what I thought...but wanted to confirm the odd questions lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0c Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Well, the "titanium system" is only a coating layer on the muffler. (I presume it is electroplated???) The system is actually stainless - just like the factory one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xpress Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Okay good, that's what I wanted to know. I had a buddy who had a full titanium header on one of his bikes. All it took was riding through water one time to crack it wide open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member aggiedaddy Posted January 24, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted January 24, 2016 I am fairly new to the Fj-09. Just bought this year. I have been a harley guy (and still keep the '11 Ultra). The Fj is so fun. I am considering the exhaust change to the Akrapovic. My question is, with or without also using the smog blocks as well, do I have to remap the fueling/ignition as in the harley? Thanks for any input.

Premium Member michael Posted February 1, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 1, 2016 I ordered the TI Akrapovic system just now from Revzilla. I ordered the Graves block off plates too. Sounds like the exhaust is easy to install but the block off plates will be a PITA. I had to sign off a statement about CARB warnings too. Hope that is just Revzilla covering their heinies.

Thanks for any input. No, you don't have to. The Titanium Akrapovic exhaust is designed to work with the stock bike. Will the bike benefit from an ECU remap? Yes.

Changed my mind and cancelled the order. The bike has plenty of power, and at my age I don't need to be annoying the general populace with additional noise. Gonna go stealth on this motorcycle.

Premium Member javashot1 Posted February 1, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 1, 2016 Still on the fence on this myself. I've been assured the akropovic Ti system has a great sound but not much louder than stock (baffle in), performance gains, and weight savings.. I think I'll be spending money on seat upgrade and cruise control first though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member michael Posted February 1, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 1, 2016 Re: weight savings. Not much. I am 80lbs overweight. I think I know where I can get significant weight savings, for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
