1199 Core Standard Exhaust

I did it the other week and its as straight forward as you have just mentioned. You do have to use brute force and ignorance to remove the Cat itself





I did tidy this up with once the cat was out but I have no pics




Took the chance to wire these bolts up whilst it was off



You do gain a little bit more noise and the tone has a tad more bass. I would say there does seem to be a tiny bit more mid range and it feels like it spins up a little quicker. I can only quantify this by the seat of my pants rather than in scientific way.

But mine even though it was on standard cans did have the upmap on the bike so I would like to think the slightly more opened up exhaust should match the map better

I know the guy doing in the states have a couple of levels of coring available but I didn't want an offensively loud pipe or something that could have had a detrimental effect.

 

Ohh and one of the best bits..Now and again you get nice pops on the over run and you can hear that quickshifter gear change pop

 

Because mine has the upmap I removed the servo and cable ages ago as the upmap blanks out the servo. You may have to get servo eliminator to stop a fault showing on the dash. I did leave the flap in place, once you remove the servo and cable the flap defaults to open.

I used a dremel to cut the square as its 1mm stainless I wanted to keep the cuts a small as possible as welding thinner steal can deform the metal.

 

Yes mate that's the job done. I would lock wire those 4 bolts that hold the hangers whilst you can.

 

Evening all! I've been thinking of getting the exhaust cored on my 2004 749 as Termigoni and similar systems seem to be drug money! I've just bought 2nd hand but look good condition genuine rear silencer(s) from Holland for £49.99 + £9.99 p and p - thought it was good value and prefer to do coring to this in case it all goes horribly Pete Tong? Anyway,rather than an old man cut his hands to bits over Christmas can anyone point me in the right direction for someone who will do a nice tidy job and not take the piss money wise??? Thanks chaps

 

You might want to post this in the 749 section

 

It's a bastard being a crusty! Been riding bikes over 40 years but only tappin keyboards about 7!

 

Must be basically the same procedure whatever the model though? Prob a sweeping statement!

 

Wahay! I have at last found a firm to "Core" my 749 standard exhaust so it will sound more like I think a motorcycle should sound and not like a Toyota Prius!They sound a competent firm and have got some decent testimonies and feedback so watch this space? The cost is £100 plus obviously P n P each way - thought that was a fair price considering the potential cuts and lacerations I would probably inflict on my poor old hands???

 

Currently getting this done on my 1199, did anyone need their fueling adjusted? Especially 1199 owners?

 

I'd imagine it'd be worth getting a custom map ...

 

Planning on fitting a RB fuel module but just wondering if it's safe to run without for a bit? Rather be safe & not do that though without proper feedback

 

Bikes are sensitive to ratio changes, air to fuel etc.

Removing the cat will mean the engine will theoretically be breathing better thus messing with the status quo

 

Ok, thanks, that's my thoughts confirmed. Don't fit until the RB is installed.

Just seen on the 1299forum that a 'normal' core didn't need fueled (i think there are 2 or 3 stages of core), think is i dunno what mine is apart from 'all out'

 

I guess there's a difference between what some people class as needs and what is really a need.

I'd not be messing with things like that without doing it properly personally
