VR6Dave Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 I have an '04 V11 and was wondering if anyone knew if the crossover that was added near the heads was as effective as a Stucchi or similar on the previous year bikes? Is there anything to be gained with a Stucchi or similar on my bike? Thanks. VR6Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anything to be gained with a Stucchi or similar on my bike? Thanks. VR6Dave IIRC, the Stucchi x-over is as much about dealing with the top-end power fade as the hole in the 3k-4k rpm range. The bikes w/ the front x-over don't gain as much from the Stucchi in the low rpm, but afaik, they still benefit from the superior flow at high rpm. Bottom line: unless you spend a lot of time WFO, you don't need to spend the money on the Stucchi. OTOH, the Stucchi probably weighs less than the stock "pre-muffler" so you can justify the expense as "necessary wt. savings" if you still want to go that route... Ride on!

jrt Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 The Stucchi sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Stucchi weighs a ton. But it looks and sounds better, by a few tons. Edit: Stucchi is a pound lighter than stock x-over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonio carroccio Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Choose the Mistral for more torque. We don't need speed on our V11, that's what you get with the Stukki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
