Ezhil instead of local handmade exhaust, dagrex is better offered by company
But stock is best of all

Local handmade? I referred to the types of Leo vince, akra when I mentioned better ones. The ones offered by Yamaha isn't really worth all the money, atleast that's what I have heard from people who used it. By spending just a little more you can get a better full exhaust system. But if he wants it just for sound and is gonna get just a slip on then I guess he can get the dagrex. I would rather go full system, than a slipon, that's why I said I would stay away from Dagrex.

Well if guys are available on New Year Morning, I can join for a short ride, but please not the ECR/Pondy again, I've been there for like 6 times now in the past month, we'll go some other place.

dude there is full exhaust system available for fz16 from akra, twobrothers, leo vince, even yoshimura. And if Im not wrong, the daytona full exhaust cost close to 16 or 18k, you can get leo vince instead of that, its much better. spend more and you can get even better ones. But if its a slip on then he can get whichever he wants, since they are only for aesthetics. Like I said, I'd rather go for full system rather than just a slip on.

here is link for yoshi full system for fz16http://www.yoshimura-jp.com/en/produ...z16/index.html

Err, if I may ask, what is the objective of putting an akra or yoshi on a 150cc bike? its not even going to give 2 hp advantage. The exhaust is already smaller, lighter than most other Indian bikes, so it may not be effective on that front either. The sound would tire the rider over long tours.

Why spend 15-20 k on this? Sell the Yamaha and upgrade to a bigger bike!

well simply put, if you want some increase in power with your exhaust, best bet is getting a full system, if its for aesthetics slip ons will do. Some people put on such mods on their bike simply because they are not satisfied with the stock setup. I have seen guys putting up things like a steering damper, putting up Ohlins suspension, in addition to full system exhausts for an R15, and they do even more mods. Doesnt matter if its a 2hp increase, it will be better than stock. Exhaust systems sure don't give much of an increase in hp for small bikes, but with a full system you will atleast feel that the bike is better than stock, with a slip on you will rarely feel any difference from stock. Thats why I said, if you wanna get aftermarket exhaust go for full system, you may not get huge leap in hp but atleast it will be better than stock, atleast some of the money you spend will be worth it unlike a slipon.

All of this at the cost of engine life! See, any after market addition (from reputed houses as well) actually play with the stock internals' threshold and try to still give you *some* life and reliability. But as you see, not many people who use the Akras and the Leos and the Yoshis ride their bikes on a daily basis. They use it for leisure. Our bikes undergo a lot of stress just due to usage and any tampering would show its ugly face sooner than in the west.

I dont understand what you mean by people not using bikes with aftermarket exhausts in a daily basis. I have seen quite a few guys who changed their exhaust to afm like akra, yoshi or Twobrothers and use it on a daily basis. Regarding damage to internals, whenever you go for mods, you must make sure that you know what you are doing. Otherwise you will end up messing the setup even if its from a reputed brand. This is one of the reasons that many people find issues when modding their bikes. They do it just for the sake of getting one instead of learning and understanding it before putting them on. This doesnt apply to just exhaust system, any modifications that you do to your bike, you should be aware of what you are doing and do some research.

Despite ALL the research, you cannot have your bike as reliable as stock! Even I have a few friends who are running *modified* bikes for 2+ years and 20+k kms. But, the maintenance is higher than normal, they simply just can't sit and relax for long.
It has already been well documented that as soon as you enter the tuning/hot rodding arena, you should kiss good bye to reliability and engine life.

Ofcourse, if you are changing the engine from the stock setup it will affect its life. But IF done right, you will manage to run them for quite a long time. Its pretty much like overclocking a computer, if you mess up, your system's gonna crash and fail, if you do it right, you will be getting a lot more performance, without damaging too much. But you gotta do your homework before you do any modification. Do not do any mods without even knowing what its gonna do to the bike.

Have you gone through the legendary FZ modification threads on this very forum itself? The amount of research and reading done by the people there is simply out of this world. Still, their kits failed. You can't do anything if the part supplied itself is bad. Now talking about Akras, we can take it for granted that the product will be good, but what's the state of our bike?
To change just one part, you need to understand that other components should be healthy too and replaced if needed. Here, the overall expenditure for a 15k mod initially overshoots 20+k and finally the price/bhp improvement seems lame.
I know hot rodding enthusiasts think otherwise, but if I had 50k to dump on my bike, I'd save some more and upgrade rather than kill my ride because I feel I'll be more proud in saying I did 1L kms without opening the engine rather than saying I hit 100 in XYZ seconds.

Not everyone mods their bike, me neither (mine is almost bone stock), but even if I do happen to do any mods in future, I would make sure that I know what I'm doing before I put them up.

Re: The Official Chennai Offline Meet(G2G) Thread

Instead of buying a 150cc, doing so many mods like exhaust, ecu rap, power commander, piggy back, suspension etc etc expecting too much power, i would rather sell it go for higher cc with good bhp
Thats bieng smart
