Well we share the same common mod that has worked on countless bikes over the years. NIce WORK I simply used a 1 1/4" metal hole saw that fit over the exhaust tip and then cut the weld out in about 2 minutes. You then have the original tip to grab with vice grips and twist/wiggle the pipe out. Easy

@thebritonabike Жыл бұрын

That was my first option .. I tried it and failed dismally ... I went thru x3 1 1/4" metal hole saw bits and burnt them out .. my welds were Titanium infused I think. Hence I gave up and switched to the dremel and cutting disc approach - same result - and my exhaust now sounds amazing. No popping, backfires or hesitation. Just huge sound!

@@thebritonabike I think in order to use the holesaw, you'd need to put a piece of timber into the hole, so that the actual drill bit is guiding the holesaw and you have a straight cut. Just saying ...

Thant might have helped except I have seriously NEVER experience such insanely strong 'cut proof' welds ! My expensive hole saw metal cutting bits really struggled to cut through .... @@ub41nz

Sorry but for me the $850 for the Agostini's was worth it for the sound alone. They also eliminate the cats and the back pressure that comes from that.

I did it on another bike, with a hole saw, but regretted it and finally reinstalled another set of baffles, not so much for the volume of sound but the hard metallic quality of it. The original pipes have a deep mellow sound, which will be lost. Installing new baffles will be difficult to do here because of the shape of the pipe. 30 dollars spent, but your pipes are ruined. There are cheaper slip-on exhausts than the Mistral, Agostini, etc, to be tried. My humble opinion.

I tried the hole saw route but failed ....tore up 2 carbide tipped hole saws - so I think those welds were made with a mixture of Adamantium and Vibranium !!! One of my pipes was already buggered from a low side crash so the whole thing was just an experiment in sound ....I agree there are other slip on options .... but I am happy with the way the bike sounds now - especially with the drop in baffles. Continued safe riding to you !

I'm not brave enough to do this to mi V7 850 This month there'ss a Moto Guzzi reunion close to where I live, and Mistral confirmed they'll be there. Hopefully they'll give the attendants a discount and, if so, I'll buy a pair to my bike.

Damn, in my 2016 pipes, the weld is at 6cm deep in the hole. Can't reach with dremel. The end of the db killer does not come out of the silencer so it cant be shortened first

@thebritonabike Жыл бұрын

6cm is the Same as mine and I had no problem with my dremmel reaching . just use a long cut off tool extension .. it will reach the welds just fine.

@Keskusrikospoliisi Жыл бұрын

@@thebritonabike I got it shorter with my dremel. Now it's 4cm shorter and the welds are still there. But it still sounds the same as in your videos... I think this sound actualy is created by the little "echo chamber" what is left at the end of the silencer after this mod (or what I did).

Surely a MOT failure in the UK?

@thebritonabike 9 ай бұрын

I live in Los Angeles now so it's been a while since I've had to deal with the UK MOT stations - but Yes if you do this mod and took it to an MOT station you'd fail ... however if you do the mod and then install the dB reducer sound baffles then you'd 'likely' be just fine. Once you've passed the MOT just remove the baffles as and when you want HUGE exhaust sound and a throaty rumble. See this video for how. Ride safely! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5egh5uAnb6uioU.html
