Hi All,

Well, I've made the move. As a former Jap Bike rider, today I bought my first bike outside Japan and chose the 833 Iron (2013).

The plan is to fit a K&N Aircharger Filter.

And Performance Pipe.

TTS Mastertune to sort the map out.

 

Originally I was going get a set of V&H Shortshot Staggered pipes, nut with further investigation, these will rob a good part of the low end grunt due to their short length.  Not sure if I can tune this out with the Mastertune as these pipes are my prefered.

Continuing the search, I have come across a brand I have never heard of.  It's the Freedom Performance Independance Shorty.  Both of these systems are 2 into 2.

If there are issues with loss of low-end - what are peoples thoughts - do I look at the Freedom pipes as they are longer??

PS: Take into account there is a 1200 Kit planned.

Hammer performance have tested most pipes so you can get a good indication on what the real world difference is. With the short shots from memory there really was only a small drop in low rpm power... You also need to take into account who is tuning your bike!

If one of the others on here don't post the link to hammers tests I will tonight.( iPhone)

Thanks T1,

I also have a late model BMW 3-Series which I have remapped and redesigned the Induction system on it myself. So, I feel reasonably confident in doing the tuning myself. At lease TTS Mastertune give you a base map to start with which I can modify as time goes on.

I am a mechanic by trade.
