[@FitRob87]

@@MasterOfTorque6871 thanks for the support! Deussen tune makes the bike run like it should have from the factory. Low RPM throttle is a lot less choppy and much smoother. Power delivery is more linear down low and in the mid range RPMs. A little more power, although being at 5,500 elevation makes a small bump in power almost impossible to perceive. Bike runs great overall, and the pops and crackles on deceleration are awesome. Really happy I did the tune and decat.

Great video but Is that not the wrong decat pipe for your bike?? I’ve been looking at these myself and Mivv do 2 different ones. One for the older bikes with springs that hold the sections together and the other with clamps for the newer bikes. I’m surprised that they fit together tbh but I suppose if it works it doesn’t matter.

[@FitRob87]

@@matthewferguson8257 I ordered this one specifically for my 2023 model from Andreani USA. The shape of the older 2019-2020 decat pipes is different. The clamps work great and the fit was perfect, no issues.

@@FitRob87The American market hypers must be different to euro bikes as a 23 bike in the uk uses clamp connections on the cat/ decat and yours is a 23 with springs. I was just surprised it fit as I know the other way round (spring version decat onto clamped exhaust doesn’t fit).

[@usart2008]

Hello there! I have a 950 as well and I was wondering, did you have to let Deussen know that you will be removing the cat in order to have the appropriate map on it?

​@@FitRob87 I ride a 2022 950 SP, all stock, only SC Project S1 slipons with original cat and map and I think they are too loud ... Only reason I stick with them is the look ... The thing that bothers me a little is just that they are always loud, not only when hitting the gas and accelerating hard, literally just always ... I'm coming from a 690 SMC-R Euro 3 which really has a great sound, but the Euro 5 Hyper is just too much ... I seriously can't imagine that it is within the legal tolerance, scince it's supposed to be 93 dB ... I somehow never got in trouble with them, but I also never had a measurement ... I live in Germany, ride in Berlin and the surrounding areas a lot but have also been to Austria (Tirol were they have forbidden Motorcycles that are louder than 95 dB in the papers), Italy and France ... lately I had a friend ride it while I was standing on the side of the road, and it still was loud but not in a way that you felt like your ears would fall off .... idk, maybe it is just that extremely loud to the rider ... nevertheless I sometimes feel a little bad when going through small villages or maneuvering at tourist/busy areas ... since I sometimes feel like being the kind of motorcycle rider that is disliked cause of the noise ... which causes more and more ppl to freak out, more forbidden areas, more problems with police and everything ...

[@FitRob87]

@@TheTIM2000 I’ve heard many people say the SC Project pipes are extremely loud even with the catalytic converter. The Termignoni pipes I have were very tame with the catalytic converter, I even thought about getting SC project pipes for a while. Now that I did the decat, Termignoni pipes sound perfect! They’re significantly louder, but they’re not overkill. With the Deussen tune they crackle and pop on deceleration, again it’s not overkill but makes it sound incredible. I couldn’t be happier with the setup. I like having louder pipes, if people want to stereotype me that’s their problem. I live in a state that doesn’t enforce any sort of exhaust decibel laws, I couldn’t imagine having the government dictate what parts I can and can’t put on my motorcycle.

In theory it should be putting out less heat with the decat pipe. I’ve been riding all summer and the heat has never even caught my attention. Are your riding in regular shoes?
