• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

EFI Tuning with stock or gutted stock exhaust???

Indy

AA Class
Has anyone done it tuning with a JD kit/power commander/ibeat etc, but left their exhaust stock or just gutted the cats and baffles on the stock exhaust?

I would expect the most gains to be seen by using aftermarket exhaust parts with EFI tuning. Just interested to see if anyone has done EFI mods with aftermarket pipes and/or cans. There are a lot of posts where people put a leo or other pipe on and see some gains, but really like the set up once they put a JD kit on the bike and richen things up.

I'm half temped to buy a JD kit and then gut the stock cans to see what that feels like. Anybody done this already?
 
I have both a set of gutted stock cans and Leo slipons. They ended up feeling identical to me. I like the looks of the Leos, and I like the sound of the Leos with the optional db killer inserts. So, those are on the bike.

The big change...the JD tuner. Wow. HUGE difference. Best $200 you can spend on this bike.

So, if I had it to do over again, I'd not spend the money on the Leos. I'd gut the stock cans (see CJ Brown's post on here for how-to), and put on the JD tuner.
 
That is exactly what I was thinking of doing. JD and can gut. Probably will be a winter project since riding season is slipping away. Awesome feedback...Thanks!
 
The best money spent so far was def the PU kit and after that the JD Power Surge. I'm still running with the stockers though.

Next mod will prolly be the gutted stock cans or a opened Akrapovic slip-on, which shouldn't be that much difference power-wise.
