Tyga exhaust
Hi all,
bought an RVF400 with 'not for road use' unbranded can on it, so I've replaced with stock Honda silencer.
System is blowing slightly, so I am considering a Tyga, single can setup, so I can fit & forget - I think this bike is a keeper, so I'm happy to invest in it.
How easy are they to fit (guy at tyre store yesterday said total nightmare!)
Would I need to reject, particularly since it was rejected for a straight through open can?? and so maybe running rich now?
Or should I save a load of hassle and keep it stock??
Cheers

Re: Tyga exhaust
I've installed one of Tyga's single systems, one of the highest quality systems I've had (and very light...I thought they forgotten to include the muffler because the box it was delivered in was so light!).
The only challenging part of the installation was working out which header pipes connect to which cylinder, but then I noticed each of them are labelled where they go, it couldn't be easier. Believe me it's a simple install and I wouldn't hesitate recommending them. You will lose a bunch of weight, but they are definitely louder than your stock Honda system (mine's a racebike so I'm not concerned about the noise). Good luck with your decision.

Re: Tyga exhaust
Thanks for that endorsement - so long as I can get an MOT, the noise is fine.
Have you noticed much of a performance improvement - difficult to quantify, I know as noise makes everybike seem quicker.
I've had a couple of litre bikes and am pretty happy with the NC35 as it is, so anything on top is a bonus.
Cheers!

Fantastic quality of system, the only hard thing about fitting them is getting your old system off. I found it easier to strip the rads off to get access to the front headers and then to take the rear subframe off to get access to the rears. More so to get the old system off than the new one on. Be ready for the exhaust studs to resist a bit if the original system has been on there since manufacture! Get hold of gav from jap4performance and tell him you are a member on here and he will do you a discount.

Re: Tyga exhaust
Hmm, thought that might be the case. Guy I was speaking to had been to Predator to fit one of thier systems, and it was tougher than he thought. Think it's a winter job for me, take my time, use plenty of plusgas or similar on studs. Don't fancy shearing one. Sounds like a great system to have though. Thanks for responding,

Re: Tyga exhaust
Fitted a tyga twin stack system about three weeks ago , no problems at all went streight on , the hardest part is removing the rear oe manifold section , the right hand rear nut is a barstuard to get a socket or spanner on , invest in a 10mm claw foot spanner and you will piss it.

Definitely, the standard system is very restrictive.racingt wrote:Hi guys, does anyone notice a performance improvement versus the stock Honda system??
A full system is the easiest way to increase power on an rvf.

Re: Tyga exhaust
Has anyone ever posted dyno result photo's of before and/or after an exhaust swap?
