Just bought an 01 929 and it has a scorpion exhaust, is there any way to tell if it has a full system or a slip on. And if it has a slip on, should I have a power comander?

 

I believe the 929's have an htev valve, see if its still in place, if it is you just have a slipon.

 

usually if its a full system the can doesn't bolt on to the mid pipe, its usually 1 or 2 pieces!

but we do like pictures here on the forum.........lol

 

Thanks for the reply, I don't have any pics yet, just got the bike 2 days ago. It sounds like I got a slip on since the barrel has bolts on it.

 

can it be a full system with bolts? cause if not, the guy i bought my bike from lied to me!

 

yeah some sellers will lie if the think the can get away with it, my neighbor bought a used gsxr 600 and the guy told him it had never been raced ect ect

the bike has been saftey wire, NRC engine covers and race tire. the guy even told him that the regulator rectifier in the tail section was a powercommander!

 

The only other way it could be somewhat similar to a full system would having the HTEV valve removed. This is the valve where the 4 headers come together. You would see a sectioned piece between the headers and the mid pipe. But, this doesn't consitute a full system. When you have that HTEV gone, a mid pipe, and a slip on (not bolt on) that would be considered a full system.

As far as needing a power commander, it's not really necessary unless you are running a K&N (which actually doesn't benefit the bike) or a BMC street filter. If you have an aftermarket bolt on and an aftermarket air cleaner, then having a power commander would only help if it's custom mapped.

Hope this helps.
