Massive guns man!!! Kudos, hard work, pays off brother! Fantastic job on this magnificent machine!

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Thank you brother! I appreciate it! 💪✌️

[@richlee1969]

🔥... as usual! I installed a HealTech servo eliminator until my T800 arrived because I have no patience. FYI: No dash lights! Keep it up bro! 👍

[@ALFAVITAGA]

I thought about getting a HealTech only to use it to start the bike but I thought that was an overkill since I installed the Upmap immediately after I installed the exhaust. I just had to record a “how to” video for the Upmap. Coming next.. 💪

[@madmotobg]

so I have the same exhaust and upmap, which I now will be installing. So I don't need the servo eliminator once I have it?

[@richlee1969]

@@madmotobg Nah... no need. The UpMap will handle any error codes from a missing servo. Coincidentally, I left mine attached because there is no harm in leaving it installed. But yes, you can remove it AFTER your UpMap is completed.

[@madmotobg]

@ so that mean that I could not buy the headlights and taillight eliminator tools as well

[@richlee1969]

@@madmotobg Yes you can. The servo eliminator was just for your exhaust system removal (error light). The UpMap eliminates the need for the servo eliminator plus it's giving you race maps that Gabro created without the need of a servo eliminator. The UpMap will also put your front signal lights in your headlights so that you can remove your mirrors without errors.

Can’t wait to hear it!! 😶‍🌫️

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Very soon 👌

[@GIGABACHI]

Impact Wrench + Allen Head Fasteners + Red Loctite = Stripped Aluminum Threads and/or Rounded Hex Hole. Use a small torch to heat the fastener, melt or at least soften the Loctite and you should be OK. Beware of the flame and painted surfaces, it could turn ugly fast if your paint finish it's cheap.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@GIGABACHI It’s not ideal or proper technique, however I work it with low impact at first and never had a problem. On some locations you can’t use a torch, and a bolt flameless heater is better. ✌️

[@675R1]

Looks awesome with that exhaust. By the way, does the GP22 decat the motorbike?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Thank you! Yes, every slip on decats the RSV4. The cat is one piece with the stock slip on.

[@barssogatlar7347]

Hello, I have a 2024 model tuono v4, I want to install a slip on, I live in Turkey, what kind of problems will I encounter if I install it without mapping, thank you.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@barssogatlar7347 I don’t recommend installing a decat slip on without a map. You would definitely need a servo motor bypass without a map. You will experience idling issues and the air/fuel ratio will be very lean, resulting in future engine damage. V4 are delicate engines. You need to take care of them or they won’t last. ✌️

[@kupalisky3553]

Didn’t need a breaker bar or impact driver to break those loose. Just used my socket wrench and applied downward force lol

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@kupalisky3553 It all depends on how much red loctite they used during manufacturing. You were lucky lol. ✌️

[@Dstkk_07]

What were the torque settings for the bolts?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@Dstkk_07 I just tightened them by feel.

[@scottmurray2239]

You should have worn rubber gloves. If you don't now clean the pipe and clamp with acetone your finger prints will appear after the pipes get up to temperature. You can also remove red loctited bolts by using a heat gun or for really stubborn bolts a butane torch.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Yes for titanium I always clean it with isopropyl alcohol before I start it. For the red loctite bolts I don’t have a torch or a heat gun, so I just break them loose with the impact wrench. Not ideal as it can break the bolt, but it does the job.

[@flavitz02]

Lol, that's what the alcohol for..

[@gmaytrixx]

Do you use earplugs with that exhaust ? If so what kind ? That exhaust hurts the right side of my ear even with earplugs on

[@ALFAVITAGA]

I should be using earplugs to protect my ears but I’m not. But I’m former military and my ears ring 24/7 anyway, so I figured how much worst can I make them. If your right ear feels like its being penetrated by the sound and it hurts, definitely wear earplugs. That happened to me when I installed the CRT on my RS660. I went for a ride and I couldn’t ride as my ear was about to bleed so I bought earplugs. But after a few weeks of wearing earplugs I decided to stop wearing them and in a surprising way my ears never hurt again. I either got used to it or I damaged them even more lol. Either way I never wear earplugs anymore. ✌️

[@gmaytrixx]

@@ALFAVITAGA you got a point cause I took off the gp22 and put on the crt exhaust and that exhaust don’t hurt my ears lol keep doing what you doing I love your videos very informative

[@fostytou]

​@@ALFAVITAGA not sure if it'll change your mind but your tinnitus and hearing can definitely get worse. The best time to start protecting your hearing is now.

[@madmotobg]

I see you have the carbon fiber swingarm protectors. Does it rub on them? As mine is very close to the SA and I will be installing the protectors soon.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@madmotobg They do not rub. You won’t have any issues. ✌️

[@bng2679]

That is basically no muffler and is blowing directly to the rider feet/rearset. It looks clean and pretty tho.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

This exhaust is designed for motogp for the front two headers only, while the rear headers exit under the tail with a CRT type muffler. It creates a double 2-1 header setup to compensate for the short rear header distances. It’s the header distance that matters more for scavenging rather than the muffler restriction. But in this stock form it’s a 4-2-1 header system and it strips it of power a bit. Not much just a couple of HP. But Ill trade a couple of HP for the best looking exhaust on the market. Also, the gases do not hit your foot on the peg. ✌️

[@beeroll03]

I love the way it looks and sounds but I don't understand why it's priced as high as it is. Could you tell me if it's worth the extra money and why?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Performance wise, the price is not worth it. You wont gain any more HP than a $300 slip on will give you. At a similar price you can get a full Spark Konix system. But no exhaust will look or sound as good as the GP22. Thats where all the money goes. It’s a marketing product. It’s overpriced for the ones that are willing to pay for it. Thats why you don’t see too many.

[@MrSoHansum]

Is there a Cat or mid pipe that can be swapped out between the headers and slip on? Or is it just headers straight into the slip?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

There is no cat in the mid pipe. The cat is integrated into the stock slip on. Once the stock slip on is removed, only the header pipes are left. Then the aftermarket slip on goes directly on the end of the header pipes. Essentially a “straight pipe”.

[@MrBarrow100]

Great install vid as usual. But how come you didn’t use some gloves to keep the grease from your fingers off the gp22. And my speed white finally came to the dealership. Can’t wait to pick it up next week

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Thank you! I almost always use gloves when I work on bikes, but when I use gloves I have no feeling of whether my fingers are greased or not. Meaning Im more aware of my dirty hands if I don’t wear gloves and Im more cautious how I handle the titanium exhaust. That way if I do smug the exhaust I will feel it, whereas with gloves I wouldn’t. Regardless though, before starting a titanium exhaust you must always clean it with isopropyl alcohol to make sure it is spotless. Congrats on your Speed White!! ✌️

[@MrBarrow100]

@@ALFAVITAGA thanks man. I was like, where those black gloves at. I watched you build your 660 and I know this is basically the same. But I’m still watching to support

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@MrBarrow100 Lol yes the black gloves. I appreciate the support 😉✌️

[@superbikesquadracer]

Looks amazing and did you wipe the exhuast down? Why didint you go for a full TI SC system? Its expencive but worth it!

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Yes I wiped it down with isopropyl alcohol. I didn’t go for the full exhaust because it would cost an extra $4,000 just to save 2lbs of weight. The stock headers don’t weigh that much more than the titanium headers. And if its not for a race bike, $4k more for 2lbs less is not worth it. Stock headers weigh 7.3lbs and the titanium headers weigh 5.3lbs.

[@superbikesquadracer]

@@ALFAVITAGA Thats true! Its expencive! But

[@anas_moto]

Where I live they issued law banning aftermarket exhausts with idle dB higher than 80 🥹

[@ALFAVITAGA]

That sucks my friend.

[@jackcampbell4631]

What happened to the servo ?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

I’m making a “how to remove” the servo video soon. I haven’t removed it yet as I gave priority to the dyno.

[@hayden6327]

Definitely don’t start it with out the upmap, I learned the hard way lol.

[@ALFAVITAGA]

Yes I did not start it. I wasn’t willing to find out lol. ✌️

[@moto_operandi]

Why what happens if started without a tune? Should be nothing as it’s just a slip on right?

[@ALFAVITAGA]

You know that makes no sense to me why. All I know is that I had reports of it blowing a fuse when starting it without a tune when removing the stock exhaust and I was not willing to find out. My guess is that by removing the stock exhaust, with it the exhaust valve and servo cables are removed/disconnected. The ECU probably reads the AFR that the new slip on creates and tries to adjust the exhaust valve with the servo cables. The ECU now thinks that the exhaust valve is adjusted but there is no change in AFR. This probably throws an error. Thats just my guess. But you can always use a servo eliminator bypass until the tune is installed.

[@afrobryan]

I can't ever decide witch looks better this or the CR-T

[@ALFAVITAGA]

For me it’s a clear choice that the GP22 is the best looking exhaust currently on the market.

[@afrobryan]

@@ALFAVITAGA yes but the price 😮‍💨😵

[@ALFAVITAGA]

@@afrobryan yeah the price hurts! But I don’t mind it. It means less RSV4’s with this exhaust, therefore more unique having it.

Sound???? 😢😢😢😢

Im making a proper dedicated sound comparison with the stock exhaust vs the GP22. Revs, flybys and on board. You can’t really hear this exhaust in a garage. Uploading soon.
