I am planning on buying a Arata full pipe and I was wondering if I would need a pc3 or not?

your bike will run, and likely even better than stock, but to get the full potential of an aftermarket exhaust a custom mapped pc is best

i have a 3/4 devil system on mine with no pc and it runs like a champ. maybe it could run better but i cant afford a pc right now so its fine how it is.

The pc is unneccessary (ask Stuna or wheelie) 8)

The only way to get a bike to it's full potential is with a full exhaust system, a PC and a Custom map, the bike will run good without these but it will run great with them. ( my 2 cents )

hi just a newbie here just a quick ? isnt the full titianium exhaust good enough with maybe a slip on . i dunno just lookin for some input i have an 03 954 :?

alll different variances...
Yeah the titanium rocks but most people want to do away with the exhaust valve and tuck the flapper inside the airbox to make the 954 into a standard motorcycle.
The flapper and exhaust valve produce back pressures at certain rpm to increase low end power and efficiency or to smooth out the power so to say and to have no lags or dips in the curve.
The chaepest way to get looks and sound is the slip-on and the best way to get performance is the whole system that is designed for more and smoother airflow.
I've been wanting someone to try pinning the flapper and rigging the exhaust valve open to simulate a full system with keeping the stock setup or with switching the can with a slip-on. no takers as of yet so I can't tell you if it does anything major or not.

If I still had a 54 I'd have tried it but I went full system with the power commander and a custom map to get every ounce out of my bike I could with the most linear power curve possible.....


boy can I babble, eh? :lol: :roll: :)
