GuzzBun Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I fitted the Moto Guzzi titanium cans and the race chip on my Scura - the performance improvement is very noticeable and fuel economy is improved from about 150mpg per tank up to 165. But the cans seem to be rather loose - I've tightened the clamps where the pipes fit into the cans, and the straps which hang from the footpeg brackets, but the cans are still loose - grabbing the tail pipe and wiggling it reveals about half an inch of lateral movement on both cans - anyone else experienced this? Is it to be expected from the type of mounting that is used? There's no popping or backfiring so I'm guessing that there are no leaks, but it just doesn't seem right somehow...

Guest rrbasso Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Yes mine did the same, after turning them out a little and REALLY tighting and some washering I got them tight, My buddy left his loose and has no problem, but he only rides if its sunny out PS dont mess with the air box, I did and had to go back with the Ti cans the stock set up is perfact....Otherwise it will run to leen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al_roethlisberger Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 ...BTW, you can fix that: - ECU remap - bypass screw fiddling - PCIII There's no reason you HAVE to keep the airbox if you don't want to. But the ECU that comes with the Ti cans is indeed mapped with the stock airbox in combination with the Ti exhaust in mind, just like your stock ECU is mapped with the airbox and stock exhaust in mind. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB 49952[/snapback] ...glad to hear that even the MG OEM "peformance cans" wiggle a bit. It took a bit of fiddling to get my Leo Vinces even, and non-wigglable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a closeout deal from the US distributer a few months ago. I was tired of waiting on MG Ti's and other Ti's like Leo's that stopped producing. The Giannellis sound fantastic and fit well (for me at least). I used the stock hangers with only minor washer modifications to set them straight. No wiggles either. Good luck in your quest for MG Ti's....I could stand the oem sound no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I have my wish for now I can wait for the asthetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
