Ride By Exhaust Comparison - Stock vs Arrow | Aprilia Tuareg 660
Рет қаралды 8,024
Күн бұрынThe Aprilia Tuareg 660 has a lovely induction sound, but that is overpowered by the wind noise at pace and the stock silencer is very quiet. The bike has some fuelling issues as well which are due to the Euro 5 restrictions, and the catalytic converter can get very hot, which some owners have found uncomfortable. The Arrow full exhaust removes the cat, sounds great, saves weight and in conjunction with the UpMap ECU re-flash device and the remap tune from@gabroracing it has also sorted out the throttle issues at 30-40mph. So it is pretty much a win win win.
In this video, I compare the sound of the stock bike, vs the Arrow Indy Race slip on silencer vs the Arrow full exhaust and silencer. I don't want my bike to be obnoxiously loud, so it is nice to see, or rather hear that it is still not overpowering.
This video is best heard with headphones or a stereo speaker setup.

@HippoDrones Жыл бұрын
The intake noise is lovely on this bike, although the wind noise takes over for me at my height on the bike at speed so can't hear it in my helmet beyond 50mph really. The main reason I got the exhaust was to sort the fuelling and lose some weight.... the weight can only really be achieved this way, but Aprilia have now released a new ecu map for the bike which sorts the fuelling apparently, so I too could have saved some dosh had I waited, but I had been waiting 6 months for them to sort it already.

The full exhaust definitely surprised me as I thought it would be too loud per last video. You were right it's not too bad, granted the spark arrestor is still in the muffler. I think I'll go with the full arrow exhaust for my Tuareg as well. If you want to get rid of the decel popping you can get the evap/canister removal kit along with the sas valve removal kit with block off plates. It's my understanding that if you do those mods along with modding the airbox you'll be fully derestricted (@ both ends!), that's the route I'm going with mine. Thanks and great video again!

Hi from OZ Did the upmap make it more responsive down low and give it more torque down low that's where I find they really lacks power
@HippoDrones Жыл бұрын
Hey up 🙂👍 Aye, torque improvement throughout the rev range, with significant gains low and mid. Feels like a different bike and is silky smooth low down now too and the stutter the engine had at 30/40mph steady throttle has gone now too.

So what we all really want to know is...At any point during the rev range does the bike feel snapper, livelier or have a bit more power?

Hi Dan, the low down throttle response is vastly improved and is now smooth as silk, the stutter the bike suffered with at a constant speed around 30/40mph seems to have totally gone. I'm not a fast rider on this bike, so I couldn't say if the top end power was much different, but the throttle response is lovely now, and that is why I swapped out the exhaust and remapped the bike for! 🙂

@@HippoDrones that's great thanks for the feedback. It makes you wonder though - As with a lot of bikes with this common stutter issue why didn't they fix it before putting the bike into production. ON TOP of the purchase price us consumers have to dip deeper into our pockets again to sort all this sh1t that they should have done in the 1st place. I fitted a full Arrow system to my KLE500 (only because B&C Express was on my doorstep) & it definitely livened the bike up with cleaner response. It's half the weight of the original exhaust too. Which was a bastard getting in the loft!. Have you noticed any weight difference with the new lighter system fitted?

@@gtomcat321 it is all to do with emissions I think, so their hands are tied with ever tightening laws sadly. Not yet, as not dropped the bike, but I doubt it will make a huge difference as it is the cat that is heavy which is low down

Do you notice any improvement in performance? Great video thanks 👍🏻

The bottom end throttle response is amazing and it has fixed the stuttering at a constant throttle at 30/40mph

Did the full system make much difference to the performance?
@HippoDrones Жыл бұрын
I'm not really a fast rider on this bike, I have a GSXR for that stuff, so I've not really explored the top end of the rev range that often on the bike. but I can say that with the remap and full system, the bottom end throttle response is silky smooth and the stutter the bike had when holding a constant speed at 30/40mph has completely gone now, and that was the improvements I was really interested in. The bike def feels more perky up the rev range too, but I just don't use it much in that way. Aprilia have released a new map for the bike now though which should help those running the standard exhaust with the throttle issues I was having.

@@HippoDrones I’ve only had mine a few days and tbh find the filing very good , probably being new it has the latest mapping ! I just don’t want to spoil what it is I’d just like a little more erm brap I suppose . Like you this is just my rainy/dirty day bike and so far I think it’s brilliant.
