Exhaust Questions

[joe camarda]

My 04 Coppa has the MG Ti, MG Race ECU and stock crossover installed.

 

This system seems just a tad softer than the Leo Vinces and Stucchi crossover I had on a previous V11 Sport.

 

I just recently "won" a FBF crossover on e-Bay, and I'm wondering

 

1. If the FBF crossover will "enhance" the sound.

 

2. Is there any advantage to adding a PCIII custom map on top of the MG ECU? Or, if I add the custom map, should I just do that using the stock ECU?

 

As always, thanks for any advice.

I suggest that you sell me the MG Ti's, and get yourself a completely different system!

1. Yes the FBF crossover will change the sound. It will be slightly louder, especially above 4k rpm, and will have more of a raspy note than with the stock crossover.

 

2. Yes there will be a gain if you add a PCIII to either combination. When I bought my bike it had the MG Ti exhaust & ECU, stock crossover, and PCIII with custom map. I have a before & after dyno chart showing the gains made with the PCIII from the previous owner. It helped the most with the midrange.

 

I installed an FBF crossover last winter and drilled the airbox lid. The custom map for the Ti ecu was too lean after that so I switched back to the stock ECU with and downloaded a map for a similarly equipped bike from a fellow forum member. The bike runs great after a minor map tweak.

 

See the fileshare section of this site for some maps you can download. They might get you close to optimum but your best bet is to get a custom map done once you're done making mods.

Tom, Thanks for info. Nice lookin' LeMans. I cans ee the crossover really cleaned up the bottom. Did you have it ceramic coated?

 

Crooz...I'm keepin' you in mind.

Thanks. Yes I did have the crossover coated. The PO had already done the header pipes and stock crossover so I had the FBF crossover done too.

What can I do to expedite more than just thoughts? $$$$$$$$$ ?
