Guest aj howard Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Hi, Looking at exhaust options and I really like the look of the Staintunes, I am thinking of also getting the pipes Jethot coated and thought it would be a nice look. How loud are the Staintunes? Would you buy them again? How much should I pay for them?? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bento Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 i wanted a full staintune kit. i don't think they can exactly sell it here due to emissions issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bshpilot Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 what emissions issues ??? no state ive ever lived in has ever required any motorcycle emission testing....hell they dont even do a VISUAL inspection !?! California is the worst in this regard and to my knowledge even THEY dont do any testing (knowing the forum someone will correct me if im wrong hell you can buy after market exhaust ANYWHERE....including CALIFORNIA (friend of mine even has his manufacturing and company set UP in calif) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aj howard Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 while we are talking exhaust, what are peoples experiences with different x-over set ups.. I see FBF which looks more like an H pipe and Stucci which looks more X.. any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bento Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 the email i got back from staintune basicaly said, " this is not available in the u.s." i really wanted the headers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bshpilot Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 it would be my guess that this is probably too small a market for 'em more than anything (not like staintune is a big mfg anyway). the exhaust on the v11 is nice and modular (hey i said something positive...just for the record ...guess im getting used to the guz. anyway i dont see the point in replacing anything but the cross over & restrictive mufflers....and im not even sure how restrictive the OE cross over is...but im sure others have looked inside so other than cosmetically having exhaust match front to rear i cant imagine any need to replace the header tubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX REDNECK (R.I.P.) Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 while we are talking exhaust, what are peoples experiences with different x-over set ups.. I see FBF which looks more like an H pipe and Stucci which looks more X.. any thoughts? I used the stucci because it made more power down low ( cant find those dyno graphs, help me Al ) I also remember someone saying the FBF had problems with cracking Another thing , when I went with the stucci the only other alternative at that time was Mistral. http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=501 This probably needs to be moved to Technical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bshpilot Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 ohhh very good points about the POWER band...things i'd forgotten to mention/assumed others knew. im fairly happy w/ the ride-ablity of the v11...and ill do the cross over change myself (just to even out the power band) and get some more power lower in the rev range than what the bike has now. good points tex, thanks for the reminders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strider Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 A mate of mine has Staintune mufflers on his Rosso Corsa. They have a removable restrictor which helps them comply with noise laws. They sound great with the restrictor out without being offensive. His fuel consumption figures are also better than my 2001 LeMans (22 km/litre, mine gets 19). Don't know whether Staintune make headers to suit the V11. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rotorhead Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I have been running the Staintunes for years and love them....they do have a restrictor that is removable and enhances the sound without being objectionable. I never worry to much about fuel consumption as long as its not way outta wack. Pipes and crossover have been coated and there is a pic of it somwhere on this site. There not cheap any more tho....the Euro I think is the problem with pricing...about 9 bills I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aj howard Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Is Australia part of the EU? I thought they were not??? There are Staintunes for sale in the high 700's with free shipping.. but you have to wait 4 weeks for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
