    Is there any significant change in vibrations after this mod?I mean had the intensity of vibrations lessened in that particular rpm 4.5k-5.5k?

    The R15, RTR and karizma are purely based on racing developments. And hence have higher target performance and options.
    So pls stop this p180/150 discussions. The p220 is the only decent bajaj engine.
    ^ I see. Thanks for clarifying the facts about your firm's focus on racing.
    Ok, I won't discuss P150/180 mod anymore. But Believe me, I was not accusing you of anything in my post.
    In the 1st year itself, I understood that the bike does have its own share of problems & lackings. I was just "wishing" something could happen to it, before my next purchase. Hope you understand.

    I might shift to Bangalore by Q3-Q4 this year. I hope we meet sometime in future, (with a better bike though). Good luck with MotoGP bro.

    I wish Joel did P180 UG3. But the damn bike is just an overheater. I got a K&N in myself and got slightly better midrange with god knows what demerits (in the long run).
    But couldn't get a freeflow yet. Anyways, let's leave the mods for my next bike.

    @ Joel:
    Hi Joel, Can you make FF-exhausts for multicylinder bikes like Gt650R, Ninja 650, etc.? Given that someone drops the bike at your place for 5 days or so? Just wanted to know for some future reference.

    Joel's FFE in RTR180

    Its been 2 weeks and still sometimes it scares me like hell.
    RTR180 have now started showing its true character after putting the FFE.
    Now she has started behaving like she is always in a great hurry to throw me of the saddle.
    Put her in first gear and a sudden twist of wrist always started resulting in a wheelie which was not there earlier. And sometimes a thought passes by that now i have to be a little gentle on the throttle or else
    She has started doing power wheelies now in first gear.

    Joel's FFE only will do so much of a change, I was not expecting.

    As Joel has always said it will make your bike quicker and it has done the same with mine. And the proof for the same is 0 to 60 kmph acceleration of bike.
    Many of the guys may know that there is a data logger for the same as a feature in RTRs. Earlier i have tried hard to get the quickest time and it was 4.4 sec only for 0 to 60 but now after putting FFE the new 0 t0 60 timing is 3.9 secs .
    And i think if i try a little harder it may touch 3.7 secs. And guys mind one thing i am a 90kg heavy built guy. So one can imagine how much a 60kg guy can get out of her

    Now for the same stretch where eariler bike use to do 60kmph, have now started doing 70kmph+ with similar riding style.

    Recently did a 250kms+ trip also. And the bike's pull in the whole trip was amazing.
    Without crouching bike gave a top whack of 124kmph(on the speedo) with almost 90Kg rider+20kg of luggage+gears and it reached their pretty quickly than with the stock one.
    And earlier i use to cruse at 90 but now 100 without any fuss. And the most amazing thing of all after constant crusing in a speed range of 95 to 110kmph bike gave amazingly 41kmpl mileage which earlier drops to 36 to 38 kmpl.

    Will do a top speed check and will update here.

    Its a amazing gift from Joel to us. And hope he keep up this good work.

    Thanks Joel

The db killer is a removable option with just a small screw. remove are freak out when you are outside limits.
    Since you talking about backpressure, have you realised how much backpressure your stock exhaust system has? So dont get confused. This is still a freeflow system.
    Could you send me one please. Dont wanna get beaten up at office so soon

    Today, when I was returning from nandi hills along with some friends, a traffic police stopped me (just me..) on NH7. At this point I thought he is going to write me off some bills. It turns out that he chose my bike to pursue some truck which didnt respond to him.. It was a nice pursuit with with a traffic police as pillion, I didnt rev beyond 7k though (but the loud exhaust was enough to know its an FFE).. We caught up to the truck and made it stop and he said "thank you sir!"

    Okie... Thats ok then... One more thing... Heard that you are offering exhausts with dB killers now... You must have designed the FFE with a specific back pressure and flow rate in mind... When you just plonk on a dB killer, wont it disturb those parameters??? I do not understand how this dB killer will work... Because, without it, the exhaust flow is optimal... So whenever the dBkiller is used,is it harming the engine in some way with extra back pressure???

    Can you plz enlighten???
