Aprilia Dorsoduro GPR Ghost Exhaust install - Review

[@AdjrianNickelodeon]

Thanks for this video. I've owned plenty of bikes in the past and will own plenty more bikes in the future and can honestly say I will never EVER give my money to GPR exhausts after seeing how shocking their quality control is. That's unbelievably unacceptable. I'm so glad and thankful (and lucky) I went with SC-Project on my current bike.

[@AridersLifeYT]

Put in the good word for me id be more then happy to rock an SC project after i seen one on the FTR1200.

[@wobblysauce]

And would have taken a bit of force, when it just slips inside normaly.

[@G-G._]

this is just garbage postal service?

[@AridersLifeYT]

@@G-G._ nah he lied on import forms to dodge taxes

[@gustavolmedo]

I recently purchased the decatalizer and am about to install

[@AridersLifeYT]

Hello all, this is a long video. So please sit back and relax :-)

[@IanNeville]

OMG! That's shocking QC on the can. Great job repairing though Pete 👍 Aprilia sounds awesome now! ❤️🇬🇧

[@AridersLifeYT]

Cheers.

[@jerrycaille]

I've buy an other original one for 100$ and cut everything inside, just keeped the separation in the middle, put two perforated tubes, glass wool and iron wool. Sound just right, not too much, for like 200 bucks. I've find this one you just put on but the sell price is 650$ ... Not cheap for a GPR.

[@AridersLifeYT]

Yeah I but that’s 650 aud that’s like 200usd.

[@jerrycaille]

@@AridersLifeYT I mean 622 CHF (Swiss) so 698,80 usd and can't be shipped in Swiss 🤌🏼

[@yourmatejay]

That’s a hot looking bike Pete! Sucks about the QC of the exhaust but at least you were able to fix it! Sounds mint too 🤙

[@AridersLifeYT]

Cheers bud, i got my eye on another bike already so i dunno how long this aprilia will be around for.

[@leespender4774]

@@AridersLifeYT What do you have your eye on now Pete i am waiting for the new MT09 to arrive in Perth pretty sure that will be my next bike

[@MrFalloffalot]

Yeah, that's Dodgy workmanship there! TFS Pete, I'm sure plennnty of people will be thankfull for the video. Perhaps GPR will watch it too, maybe Step-Up their game a little... RSOT >:)

[@AridersLifeYT]

they never got back to me but i did manage to get a full refund via ebay and keep the exhaust, lol

[@MrFalloffalot]

@@AridersLifeYT Your Win, their Loss >:D

[@gustavolmedo]

hello, could you tell me which is the gold paint of the frame? It's look great !!

[@AridersLifeYT]

hello, the bike was disassembled when new and polished then painted with a gold powder coat and a clear coat finish. aka gold chrome finish

[@lucaammaturo8506]

Hi, I'm trying to disassemble the exhaust to put the gpr ghost, but it doesn't come away, are there any central screws under the saddle compartment?

[@AridersLifeYT]

Not that I remember. The hardest part was sliding it back and I had to use a rubber mallet to bang it backwards

[@twistedpickle6984]

Awesome video man can’t wait for more

[@rhumorsky4055]

Hello mate. Can you tell me where you bought this exhaust? I looked all over ebay and GPR website and all i could find are GPR Ghost for Suzuki some version. I also contanted GPR and they sent me to their website, not much of a use. Looking to change cans on my Dorso. Cheers!

[@AridersLifeYT]

i found a dealer in Italy that had it, They sent it to me in wrong packaging. it took 3 months! for it to be found. ALl because he lied on the customs import forms. They dont make this pipe for the Dorsoduro anymore. and as you can see, he sent me a defective one KNOWING i was from another country. so this bike shop lied to me. but i got my money back and i repaired the pipe myself. i miss this bike.

[@flxklz]

Best v2 sound ive ever heard ! You have a wonderful aprilia... Congrats👏 Im looking for a new exhaust (louder = better) can you recommend one ? I were looking for roadsitalia, sc project or GPR

[@AridersLifeYT]

Try a sc project

[@floflospeed24]

How did they manage to assemble it that bad ? 😱 Good job on the repair Pete ! I didn't think you would be able to repair it... But I didn't want you to have to wait 3 months to receive an other one neither 😅 Did GPR had anything to say about that ?

[@AridersLifeYT]

They are yet to reply

[@BOBBER400]

Gotta say after the disappointment of seeing it first it certainly sounds awesome. M8 how do they let something like that be sent out (i thought it was 2nd hand for a sec). Great review on a shady company is what i think.

[@AridersLifeYT]

Yes at this rate it will be my last gpr exhaust. I've been eyeing off a rocket 3

[@BOBBER400]

@@AridersLifeYT Ah me mate has one, he loves it but really finds it hard not to speed due to the engine size it just wants to go. My car is 2.3L haha.....

[@AridersLifeYT]

@@BOBBER400 yeah thy just look like great bikes to ride, now days i wanna ride everywhere i can and the aprilia is so impracticable for fuel. its worse then my v6

[@needbettername8583]

Hello mate, I've got a question. A buddy of mines just bought one, is the frame number on yours stamped straight into the headstock or is it on a black peice metal? I think the one he's bought is hooky.

[@AridersLifeYT]

I think it's got a metal plaque. I'll check in a few hours when I'm home.

[@needbettername8583]

@@AridersLifeYT Ah you legend. His is on a black plate on the side of the headstock. Usually it's stamped straight into the metal. Also, Where's the engine number located? I can't find the bloody thing. And another thing, is the lower fairing an optional extra? I've seen a couple of dorsoduros without them, but some with. Awesome bike though man, love your garage set up.

[@AridersLifeYT]

mines in a black plate. thoe lower cowl fairing was a option for aprilia accessories.

[@gustavolmedo]

Thank you very much, bro, could you give me a link to buy that exhaust?

[@AridersLifeYT]

This is it, but the seller seems to have no stock for the aprilia Dorsoduro anymore. www.ebay.com.au/itm/274738125868?hash=item3ff7ab1c2c:g:ZLcAAOSwlG1gYeic&frcectupt=true

[@gustavolmedo]

Amazing !! One more question the sound is not very annoying on the highway ?

[@AridersLifeYT]

@@gustavolmedo its loud on the highway but completely ok,

[@gustavolmedo]

I also want to ask you if the heat has decreased in the base of the seat

[@AridersLifeYT]

@@gustavolmedo nah no heat increase. Less heat as more air flow

[@iversonvarela405]

hi can u please provide a link to this exhaust i cant find it anywhere

[@AridersLifeYT]

Hi, I got mine from ebay

[@mrjoker2743]

Hello where I can buy the same one for my aprilia dorsoduro? Thanks in advance.

[@AridersLifeYT]

Hello, the GPR ghost is nice but with the issues i had i wont buy another GPR again. i would recommend SC Project.

[@mrjoker2743]

Sure I can imagine the issus, but with this exhaust you can keep the nice orignal rear look and it's that I want. I have tried to contact gpr to get more information but with no success. I have a aprilia dorsoduro 900. Thanks for quick reply.

[@AridersLifeYT]

@@mrjoker2743 I don't know if it will fit the 900. The gpr ghost is no longer made so it's all old stock

[@kyles814]

I would have returned that not sure what you paid for it but that’s fucked someone knew it was fucked when they put it together

[@AridersLifeYT]

I agree, however after a 3 month wait in the mail. Then it arrives, i have evidence of said defects, i dont want to wait another 3 months id rather them just send me another unit or maybe ill just bite the bullet and go SC project

[@kyles814]

@@AridersLifeYT yer that is true maybe show them and they might send a replacement or some cash back either way it does sound really good

[@wobblysauce]

And most likely ship it to another when getting it back.
