Ok I have seen this question asked 2 time in this thread and it was completely passed over. I would like to know of some opinions on the efi after adding these pipes. Reason being... I am looking at a 2013 tr650strada, with 2000 miles on it. The owner installed the twin black slip on pipes, and he told me the factory computer will compensate for the pipes without any need to add a power commander. Is this true? I don't want to buy a bike that has toasted valves in it

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

That has more fuel added with the spoofer. Curious on this question too!

I added the duals first with no spoofer at all, bike ran better than stock. (I never really had the lean stumble just not much grunt down low) Only had it this way for about 800 miles. Then a member here had sold his bike and gave me a great deal on PCV w/autotune. This really woke this thing up and runs great now. (touch wood)

I have a single GPR on mine. It is a bit louder but not close to what the Acro full Ti system sounded like on my KTM and I never had a problem.
Every Harley I hear is much louder than my Strada
Looks great.
Any wider than stock?
Any other feedback, after all this time? TIA.

I can't detect any change in power output. It really is up there when it comes to reliable power delivery. I'd be inclined to have the engine blue printed and balanced if I was interested in more power.
Fueling has not been affected. Still crap at low revs and excellent above 4500 rpm.
Heat - depends if the cat is installed .
The advantage is it is a rare opportunity to remove weight that is mounted high and to the rear of the bike. Noticeably more nimble and the muffler, being lighter, cools down faster. Handy when putting it on the centre stand without burning/melting something.
The down side is the cost and the quality does not seem to be as good as the originals.
I tried to contacting Staintune about availability of their system, left a message, never got back to me. You might have more luck if your interested in a high quality exhaust.

Or get them now before they stop making em.
Fabricate a tube which can be mounted where the old muffler used to be. There have been creative fabrications, such as, somewhere to store water, fuel, fuel tank, camping gear, tools, spare parts etc etc . Can be removed quickly and easily when not required.
