New member here, first time poster, and potential new R3R owner. Man oh man, I'm still looking at scooters but as far as the R3R goes, I'll have to quote the old Eddie Money tune by saying, "I think I'm in love"! Lots of good people in here with a ton of great info and some **** fine stories too!
I've been trolling the forums lately doing a lot of reading regarding aftermarket exhausts for the R3R and I have a few questions for the experts here(concerning the new 2013 de-limited R3R):
1. I know the stock mufflers have cats but what's in the "collector" box under the bike?
2. I'm looking into installing the TORs cans but based on question #1, is it recommended I do anything regarding the collector box to tweek better sound, HP, and torque (i.e replace it, leave it as is, etc.)?
3. I'm thinking about doing the TOR cans, K&N triples, PC5 tune, and maybe a dyno. Monies are a little tight so I'm not sure I can do the tune right away. I'm hoping I can save some $$ without it by using a good map. I know the maps out there are generic for certain setups and not specific to my bike but I'm hoping they'll be close enough to get me set up and running smooth and strong...though I know it's always a good idea to dyno. One problem I've found is that there aren't any PC5 maps for the TORs/filters. I only see some for stock setups and the Jardines. I know some members here have some tweaked TuneECU maps for this setup and if so, I may go that route and save even more money by not having to buy PC5. Any recommendations on these ideas/options?
4. If I install the K&Ns, do I need to modify the claw to expose the filters more or is it OK to leave it alone? Oh...and I can't find the triples on the K&N site for the 2013 R3R. Where do I get them?
Thanks mucho grassy ass for any help you can offer me guys.
