installed my arrow slipons onto my aprilia last week. removed the baffles and remapped. supposedly another 12hp according to 'experts' but i definitely notice about 6-8 more pull. not to mention the 'note' from those cannons. heres a sample

12 horses from slipons? fuck i hate liars(not you-the "experts"). put it on a dyno and i'll guess about 3.

ya they always exaggerate, however, with the new map PLUS the slipons, definitely more than 3.

and talk about light, almost 1/2 the weight of the stock cans. PLUS the nice carbon fiber heel gaurds and hangers are sweet too. BLINGITY BLING BLING!

Sounds awesome!
My friend has the same bike, with Akra slipons, sounds mean.
Does Arrow give you the remap?

 

[gixxerboygenius]

yep we got the map from arrow for de-restricted. either them or aprilia, i am not positive.

 

[Purplekawi]

hahahahahaha intarweb lag is awsome!! you revved the bike then walked away before the sound caught up to it so it looked like it was revving itself!! sounds good by the way.

 

[gixxerboygenius]

i know i thought that was funny too. good thing it doesnt actually perform like that LOL!

 

[Purplekawi]

no doubt. you'd have to get on the throttle as your getting into the corner rahter then mid corner!! you'd have to let off early too.

:rolleyes IMHO, Darren, the natural sound of that bike is already great. It's one of the few bikes that doesn't need another pipe. I don't approve... but congrats if you really think the sound is better.

 

[klutch]

Probably the only Aprilia on the island, huh?

 

[gixxerboygenius]

nope 3 of my buddies have the same bikes too. definitely a smaller crowd though.

When I had my opportunity to ride an Aprillia for the better part of a day. I could not imagine changing the exhaust note. The bike is basically sex on wheels. However, the arrow pipes do sound awesome. I am sure you will be frightening small children and animals for miles. Nice work Darren. :thumbup

 

[gixxerboygenius]

oh i can just FEEEL the love as i ride through my neighborhood. my friends in nanaimo know when i leave the house now. i can only ride the aprilia on odd numbered days too.

At least with the carbon slip ons, you won't get burned when you're humping your bike.

...At least I wouldn't.

The pipes sounds incredible. Do you have footage of when it was stock to hear the difference?

 

[alternateimpact]

you having a moving dildo now Darrin! I am sure its even louder in person. So the real question should be whats your favourite bike now? you have the complete gixxer line 600 through 1000, and now the italian. so can I unleah this beast the next time I am passin by your place? pleeeeeeeeeease!? and thank you

 

[VTwinVince]

Nice bike, now that's a proper twin.

 

[CrotchRocketeer]

I'm amazed at how quiet that thing is with unrestricted pipes. Wow.

I'd love to see a before and after dyno as well but Aprilia does offer a remap option for the stock ECU and with freer flowing slipons 10-12 more ponies is common according to the local dealer who's done a few now.

 

[Focker]

didn't the previous generation Aprilia pick up something huge like 10-15 or 15-20 with slipons and an ECU? Something about the old ECU was crazy restrictive to get it to pass emmisions.

3-4 with slip-ons and 3-4 with the mapping. horsepower is usually a lot more elusive than just bolting on some cans and mapping it. if the 10-12 is in the midrange than yea i would believe that but up top i doubt it. good stuff anyways.
