Anyone run SW headers and dump system (smog and noise concerns)

Wfo said:

I have the sw Lightning exit factory connect, no headers. I love the sound, it doesn't drone to me. The factory connect still requires you to cut a short section to reuse the flange off the factory system. The measurement sw provides is way off, as in too long. Fit up the sw exhaust and do your own measurement.

Thanks Wfo,

I didn't realize that so I went to SW and checked out the install guide, sure enough! Rather than cutting the OE resonator I figured I'd just replace it to start with and see how that sounds. I've got a Corsa resonator delete pipe coming. I don't suspect it will get me what I want but I can cut the Corsa pipe and use it rather than cutting up the OE unit just in case I ever want to go back.

While I am down there I was going to take some vids of the sound at various stages; OE system disconnect at resonator, no resonator - open Y pipe, Corsa pipe only then Corsa + OE system.

Just get the offroad y pipe.

Headers aren't worth it.

Unless you dump it.

And drive around at WOT all day.

I want to retain the cats. I pollute enough racing two-strokes.

Can I send you my tickets for driving around at WOT??

My Corsa resonator delete pipe showed up a couple weeks ago. I haven't had time to play around with it yet but its extremely well made and the welds are top notch. I've read plenty of complaints about the price but I think you get what you pay for here. It would also be a great place for a cut-out with the stock system behind it. I plan to run this for a while and see how it sounds. Funny enough in the instructions there is a note on "May exhibit drone under towing conditions." Guess we'll see...
