5. Do I Need to Tune My Bike After Exhaust Install?
In most cases, especially with full systems — yes. Tuning helps:
-
Correct air/fuel ratios
-
Prevent lean conditions
-
Unlock full performance potential
Options include:
-
ECU Flash
-
Power Commander V
-
Bazzaz Z-Fi
-
Auto-Tune modules
We offer ECU flashing and piggyback tuner installs right in our Margate shop.
6. Sound Considerations & Legal Compliance
Some tracks and neighborhoods in South Florida have decibel restrictions. Here’s what to know:
-
Many exhausts come with removable baffles or DB killers
-
Check with your local track (like Homestead-Miami Speedway) for noise limits
-
Ride respectfully in residential areas like Coconut Creek and Davie
We can guide you to exhausts that meet your sound and performance needs.
7. Weight Reduction = Real Performance Gains
On average:
-
Stock exhaust: 15–20 lbs
-
Full system: 8–10 lbs
-
Slip-on: 3–6 lbs
This weight savings can help improve your bike’s power-to-weight ratio, agility, and cornering — especially helpful on tight tracks and backroads.
8. Customize the Look of Your Ride
Aside from performance, the right exhaust transforms your bike’s appearance. Choose:
-
Carbon fiber, titanium, or stainless finishes
-
Shorty-style for aggressive look
-
Under-tail or side-mount options
