EdB Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 I was out at Rocky Mountain Honda pricing out a new exhaust for my bike and the parts person said that i needed to buy a power commander for an additional 400$ if i was going to run a aftermarket pipe on the bile. A lot of my friends have pipes and i don't think that they have the powr commander. Does anyone have any info on this (DAVE). Are they just trying to take me for another couple of bucks or will affect the performance of y gixxer? Quote
Tungsten Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 A friend of mine just put on a set of Vance&Hines on his M50 and no problem. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 You'll be fine without a power commander. It won't run exactly the same while idling is all. That's what i found when i modded my exhaust. My gixxer has the following yoshimura pipe power commander bmc race filter took out the exhaust valve in the pipe (the one with the servos) Dyno'd 135HP at the wheels. Quote

Did you put the power commander in yourself as well? I'm looking at a race fit growler. Quote
SanJuanWorm Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 Yes I did it myself. I had the bike dyno'd at walt healy though. Get yourself a rubber mallet to pound off the stock pipe. Quote
