Baffle out wow!!! One of the best exhausts I’ve ever heard

Fantastic quality all around. Earned yourself a Sub from GA. Keep it up!

Love the small detail of the leovince rubbers on the springs

That exhaust sound is absolute perfection. If I hadn't noticed those water stains on the engine, I'd assume your bike doesn't roll out. So clean! 😂 Nice garage too. Cheers mate

Fantastic video you explained all the steps well. Thanks it will be useful for me when I have to mount my Leo vince many great from Italy 🇮🇹

Thank you so much for this Video, i installed my LeoVince Exhaust today, with help of your video it was so easy to do. Greetings from switzerland :)

You're welcome and thanks for watching 👍

[@DJAntivenom]

Is it legal to not put in the baffle here in switzerland? And once I installed everything, can I just go to tüv to get it checked or do I need some paperwork? What was your experience like?

[@bulachfloorballhighlights1821]

@@DJAntivenom its ilegal to drive around with the db killer in switzerland, but i tested how the sound of the exhaust without db killer. It sounds amazing both with or without db killer, can really recommend it. Im really in love with it.. never had any issues with swiss police. You dont need to bring it to swiss tüv, because it should come with a part report (maybe you need to pay extra for it) if you have any other questions, just dm me on instagram (@mkehc1934)

Great choice, imo leo Vince or arrow are the top quality and best looking pipes for the 09. For the price point the black widow was my choice about a year ago. Love your vids brotha.

Does the in house option for the akrapovic sound good? I'm really falling for this bike.

[@MotoSouth]

Akrapovic makes two different exhausts for the 09. I haven't heard them in person but the LeoVince seems to have a deeper tone.

[@denissaliji6974]

Hi, nice video, how did you solve the vibration of collectors under the tank a resonance is heard. thanks from Switzerland

[@obstsalat2472]

very nice video! but do you have your catalysator installed ? want to know because the sound is amazing! please answer!

[@MotoSouth]

The Leo Vince does have a small catalytic converter just before the muffler

[@pagadqs]

Was just about to ask if there is a baffle that can be removed, and reached the point where it was removed. Only way to ride this is baffle off, baffle on is not enough grunt

[@steve7572]

I actually went with the Leo Vince because there are too many with the Akra. Wanted to be different.

[@alessandrofuschillo5007]

Hello great!! a beautiful sound! but the catalyst was approved for the EU or was it not regular??

[@MotoSouth]

The only thing changed was the muffler itself. The rest of the stock exhaust is still intact.

I didn’t initially but you won’t realize the full benefits of the exhaust without a tune.

[@keyintoyi6943]

No Baffle = Awesome

[@calixtoabc]

Perfeito 🇧🇷

[@175yam1]

Yes nice pipe,,, sounds great,,, I went for the black widow pipe,, has more ground clearance,, and sounds good,,not as good quality as yours, but still sounds nice,, and the height issue,, your pipe seems a bit low to the ground,, but still great,,

[@Automaticjack1]

Love your videos. I think you've convinced me to go with the same set-up for my 2020 MT09. Am I correct if I choose to leave the DB killer in I can run it stock (no tune) with no issues? And the Leo Vince doesn't need repacking every 10K like the Yoshimura does it? Thank you!

[@MotoSouth]

You don’t need a tune either way. It won’t hurt the engine, you just won’t see the maximum performance benefits without the tune.

[@Automaticjack1]

@@MotoSouth did you buy direct from Leo Vince? I have about 2700 miles on my ride. Will I need any new exhaust gaskets or is it 100% complete? I so appreciate your help. I'm sorry I could not find your link to LV or the spring puller.

[@MotoSouth]

You should always put new gaskets when replacing the exhaust

[@MrAlpster]

Hi.. Great sound.. so the ecu doesn't need flashing with this exhaust??

[@MotoSouth]

Not needed with any exhaust. The ECU can compensate for an aftermarket exhaust. If you want the full performance benefits of the exhaust, a flashlight is required.

[@austinmoseley16]

False snap on does an example of this that the length of extension does not change the torque

[@emotio2008]

original look more beautiful Super Video

[@carlzarate850]

❤❤❤

[@Lawman-196]

Is that a catalytic converter on the new pipe? Two Wheel Obsession got the ECU flashed, dyno'ed and it didn't make a difference. I would save the money.

[@MotoSouth]

I like the fact that a tune will allow me to do other things like have the fan come on at a lower temperature and smooth out the throttle response.

[@duskshadowpaws4434]

that bulge in the pipes just before the carbon fibre exhaust canister, is that a catalytic converter? if so, wouldn't it make more sense to place the O2 sensor after the catalytic converter as well as before so that the ECU can reference how much it needs to change the air/fuel ratio to compensate for pollution laws (and other extras like fuel economy etc.)?

[@MotoSouth]

It's a high flow catalytic converter. The location in relation to it is the same as the stock converter.

[@duskshadowpaws4434]

@@MotoSouth well atleast that answers one of my questions, the other one though you don't need to answer, that was just me being fussy with logic and stuff ^.^

[@Charlie-fc1mh]

Just watched this. That is unreal. Tuned for the stock settings. I'm thinking about getting the 2024 tracer 9 gt plus or either the mt10. I think I would rather go this route rather than buying a full exhaust and then having a remap done. We'll see.

[@jonholland581]

[@matteolandolfi7085]

sorry, what kind of pedals have mount on bike? thanks

[@MotoSouth]

Lextek. I have a video on my channel about them

[@DougZ73]

Very nice install and video. It looks great on your bike. Surprisingly, or not, the weight savings is my biggest motivating factor. Sadly, The high costs( exhaust and reflash) versus 2-3 HP gain and weight savings, is not a big enough factor for me right now. Maybe once bike is paid off. LOL

[@MotoSouth]

The LeoVince is almost a 10hp gain. Reflash isn't required but will help to get a little more out of it. I will probably eliminate the AIS as well to stop the popping you get with aftermarket exhausts on deceleration. Thanks for watching 👍

[@greenmachine900]

I, literally, only ended up doing an exhaust because of the drivers out here in Arizona. Coming from Cali, it was unreal the difference in awareness whether or not you believe in exhausts saving your ass from time to time. That said. These bikes sound pretty cool with the cp3

[@MotoSouth]

Absolutely keeps other drivers more aware of your presence. A quick blip of the throttle and they will normally look twice.

[@stephenmcqueen4029]

Does that have a catalytic converter on it? What’s the part before the end can?

[@MotoSouth]

It is a catalytic converter of some sort.

[@batlong261092]

Does mt09 2018 needs Exhaust Gaskets? On amazon website just said that it compatible for 2014-2016

[@MotoSouth]

Gaskets should be the same for all year models

[@Automaticjack1]

Can I asked how you narrowed it down to the Leo Vince? It looks/sounds awesome and I love your videos. Doing the research now on new exhaust but would love your input. 2020 MT09. Thanks.

[@MotoSouth]

I liked the look with the headers following close to the engine. I also like the design, sound, and the carbon fiber canister

[@jackdixon7308]

I’m not looking for increased performance so much but I want the look and the sound for sure. Did you at all consider a slip-on like the M4??

[@MotoSouth]

Not really a fan of the M4 or any slip on for that matter. I worked in the motorcycle industry for 14 years and M4’s seemed to be too loud for my taste on most bikes.

[@jackdixon7308]

Thanks for that feedback. I don’t want it to be too obnoxiously loud.

Hi, I had a doubt that after getting a full system exhaust doesn't it require tuning or mapping of the ecu!!!

[@MotoSouth]

Most bikes have the ability to adjust for the small changes caused by replacing the exhaust. You will get more performance with a tune but running without won’t cause damage

[@vikashpareek7290]
