Has anyone fitted a decat and Y pipe to the 2024 Euro5+ version ?
It seems to run fairly well already, but it is currently cold outside, it certainly feels fairly stifled at the upper end of the rev range in comparison with my Bellagio.
I am not sure of the purpose of the bash bits stuck on the side of the downpipes other than to cover up the mess of different size welded pipes, I can’t imagine them offering any protection, so looks like an area for weight saving. Also wondering if the tubular rack from the earlier versions would fit to replace the cast aluminium non-rack on this new version, I’m sure it is just a styling exercise but is useless as a rack.
Welcome. I have an e5.
I am also considering a Y pipe for looks, gearbox oil changes and weight saving.
Only problem is i live in the city with nice neighbours so i don’t want more sound.
I am not sure, but there are quite a few available for the E5 version but don’t believe the E5+ version is the same. I understand that it isn’t much louder if you just remove the cat etc but retain the original silencer.
I have an E5 bike and the y piece made a big improvement with the other mods. I piut the standard silencer back on and i dont thinks its to loud.It was a little fruity with the storm silencer but not in anyway offencive.
I went for the Chinese item as it came in at a great price delivered. The quality is pretty good and looks in keeping. But i think all the mods need to done to really make it worth while.
Just my opinion and I’m no expert.
Ex - has been.
Spert - drip under pressure.

they are fairly quiet, especially at low rpm.
i had someone film me riding past flat out and it still wasn’t that loud compared to how it sounds on the bike.

the original ‘silencer’ doesn’t do very much, you can remove it and just run the cat and it isn’t louder
thats a better place for the sensors, keeps some of the crud off them than the usual location
Anyone know if the exhausts would fit from the E5 version (2021-2023) on the E5+ (2024) version, as the chinese (Ali-Express I assume) are a good price. I can’t imagine the manifold to silencer dimensions would have changed, but they did change many of the other bits though, such as the rear rack and headlight mounts from tubular to cast aluminium (which presumably breaks in a fall)
