2017 baffle removal

2017 bad news or maybe good news

The baffle is different. Tried the same process to get the baffle out and got this.

Looked inside and the baffle tubes are 205mm long! Tried a bit of force but they ain't shifting. Old baffle was only about half that length.
Good news is that this must be part of the Euro compliance so if I can get the buggers out she'll sound mint. Only question is how?

Glad you told me! I'd have been struggling with that next week!:upset: I wonder how loud it is without the slip on? Looks like that big cat underneath could well keep things under control on it's own?!! If so it might make a SC project/Racefit an option without being stupid loud?? Hmmmm looking forward to finding out!

Just a thought, there are a couple of complete 2015/16 exhausts in very good nick knocking around on ebay for just ?150... would get rid of that CAT you don't like and you could remove baffles into the bargain pending your choice of slip on of course... I understand the rear hanger is different. Could it be made to fit?

Re: 2017 bad news or maybe good news

Fair point ....you'd just need a RHS rearset off a 2015 to attach the 2015 exhaust to, but im wondering how the bike would run using a 2015 exhaust?? Would it need some ECU tweaks or a power commander or something to get it running right?? I'll love to throw a full system on it but can't really justify another ?2k...im already gonna be eating beans on toast until 2020 as it is!!

This looks good tho! :biggrin-new: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMGXmUDr7NE

Re: 2017 bad news or maybe good news

if its really quiet I might just remove the whole slip on and go with that?! :biggrin-new:
I guess it depends how much noise reduction the underbelly cat is contributing?? I'm guessing quite a lot?!

Couldn't get over the smell of things burning from the bike after just a 5k spin.

I presume oils and new cats etc

Not sure that would work, part of Euro 4 is a greater emissions diagnostics testing to ensure on-going emissions compliance. Putting the previous headers and smaller CAT might kick off a few issues
But if not grab a cheap Euro 3 set!

Good point.... might also fail the MOT's in 4 years time... still, if there is a way around it 4 years is a long way off.

Re: 2017 bad news or maybe good news

Akra are doing a set of headers for about 650 quid that have the same 2 pronged outlet as the cat box so could use them with standard can too.....or get the akrapovic can. Not sure how it will look on bike tho? I pick my 17 model up in couple weeks too so will be looking into it!

Re: 2017 bad news or maybe good news

Performance parts just listed the Moto GP Style slip on from Akrapovic for the 2017 model
https://www.performanceparts-ltd.co...es/exhausts/akrapovic-exhausts/S-B10SO8-CUBT#
Calsport also have it for ?607

Will wait to see what the Austin Racing end can looks like, although the Akropovic looks tempting

That's a good shout. Austin racing one should be out mid March they said

Re: 2017 bad news or maybe good news

Good idea although will need to change the belly pan to a 15/16 model and nowhere to hang current exhaust as mounts have changed on the 2017

Please read the link above before removing the new 17 euro regulations exhaust system. It's going to be an expensive MOD until someone works out a bypass.
For you road guys, the warranty is your main problem.

Re: 2017 bad news or maybe good news

Take it just an end can won't be an issue though

Fitting just a slip-on will not be an issue according to BMW.

Re: 2017 bad news or maybe good news

I've sent a query about the baffles to BMW uk. Don't suppose you fancy getting very physical with yours Paul to see if it will come out?
