2023 Kawasaki Voyager Exhaust Upgrade

[@rosarioroberto5823]

Greetings, As always another brilliant detailed video production 🇺🇲🍾🎉🇺🇲 Keep producing more videos about the Voyager.

[@VadimNYC]

Nice Video! I will attempt to remove\install Freedom 4" slip-ons this weekend. ECU was mailed to IVAN this morning and should come back to me by Saturday.

[@tanktankerson1042]

You are going to love the difference after your slip-ons are added and you get he module back from Ivan. I couldn't believe the difference!

Just bought a 2023 Vaquero. Thanks for making these videos. I see you have quite a few uploaded already.

[@uneetudiant]

Great video. I have a Vulcan 900 classic LT , been watching videos on this bike and vaquero for a while now ,would like to upgrade perhaps next year. Thanks you for a great talk on upgrades .

[@EcSsAwS]

Now you just need a Ivan tune and your good

[@tanktankerson1042]

Already done and on a different video on my channel 😃

[@dymnruf]

Great job!! I just bought the exact 2023. Do you have the link for the bolt covers from Ali express?

[@tanktankerson1042]

I just posted them in the Video Description for you. Remember, the multi pack can be ordered in a slew of colors. Have fun with it and thanks for the comment!

If thee is any chance you still have the original pipes I would be happy to buy them.

[@tanktankerson1042]

Yes I do and I placed them in the box the new pipes came in. They are still "basically" brand new.

I have the 2023. I love you videos. I’ve made many of the same upgrades. So as I’m understanding, can I get the K&N replacement filter and put the slip on’s on and get the ecu flash later? My budget will only allow to do a couple of upgrades at a time. By at a

[@tanktankerson1042]

With the free flow exhaust and the K&N air filter, it will cause the bike to run leaner with the current ecu programming. You will get the most irritating popping when decelerating which drove me crazy. I only test rode my bike once after the exhaust and filter change, then sent off the ecu immediately to get it re-flashed which solved everything. That's just what I encountered. back when I did the same for my VTX, I ended up having to change the jets in the carbs for the same reason. I hope this helps to answer your question.

[@michaelholcombe1050]

Yes. Thank you so much for your response

[@Nervedraz]

Now that you have had your slip on pipes for a while, what do you think about them and would you still recommend them? I see that they are currently unavailable on Amazon.

[@tanktankerson1042]

I had Vance and Hines on my VTX 1300S in the past, they were just too darn loud and fatiguing on the highway. I really enjoy these slip-ons and although they may not be available, Shark Road makes pretty much the same thing. These along with the K&N air filter were added to the Ivan's Flash for the ECU and the horsepower is supposed to have gone up to 90 from 72 and torque, 107 to 120 foot pounds. They are not too loud at all but give my Voyager a free flowing and throaty exhaust sound true to what Kawasaki's performance and engineering is all about. Thank you for the comments.

[@dragonslayer1294]

Dude, why are you putting aftermarket exhaust on a brand new bike to me that makes absolutely no sense at all. There’s nothing wrong with the pipes that are on it.

[@tanktankerson1042]

Well, I didn't like the sound the originals had plus they were too restrictive. I added these free flowing pipes along with a K&N air filter before sending the ECU off to Ivan's Performance so he could tune it accordingly. I numbers now sit at 86hp instead of 72hp and the torque has increased from 106 to 120. The exhaust was just a part of the big picture of bringing out the best in my new Voyager. It's a personal thing and if you like your bike the way it is, I fully understand and can appreciate that. Thanks for the comment.

[@patrickguseman5219]

Your neighbors are going to hate you 😂😂😂

[@royfrye2871]

It's called personal preference. And it will help it run cooler

[@robarnold4570]

if you just installed a k&n filter with slip-ons then flash is not required. the big air kit AND new slip-on exhaust will require a re-flash

[@tanktankerson1042]

I tried that and it was popping and banging. Too much air and the ecu didn't know what to do with the fuel. I significantly raised my HO and torque, and removed the rev limiter for top speed. Throtttle delivery is great, with the stock ecu you only get 74% throttle when full open. Ivan turn the throttle into an "as if" it was cable operation. Plus, no throttle dump when you let off the throttle. He also programed the bike so the cooling fan comes on earlier. Best thing I ever did for this bike.
