Great video. Thanks for sharing.
If I'm recalling correctly, the Stock exhaust with the Lamonster pipe on sounded pretty good. So, if I have the stock exhaust on my F3S, would I just need to purchase the Lamonster pipe? Is it easy to install?

The only sure way of getting rid of bad habits is to create good ones.
AND, by the way, this will not happen on auto pilot.
It's time for a YOU-turn!!!

Yes, you can just buy the Lamonster pipe and run it with existing exhaust. Sound should be quite good. I have my cat still on, so I cannot comment the installation part.

Yes, and yes - with a spring puller or a piece is string.
Husband has lamonster bypass and stock USA muffler on his Daytona. Great sound. Not as ummmm as akrapovich with bypass. Noticeable but not offensive.
In oz, stock muffler for the f3s is the rt muffler, not the nice short USA stock one. If you want quiet, that's a way to go.

For me l love this pipe deep throaty when your want it to be and great when cruising .

How easy was it to do the replacement? How long? Any special tool? Can a non-mechanic do it easy? Any challenges in changing it over ? Can you replace the original if you sell the bike and want to keep it ?

Very easy to install , the hardest part is the top spring . I used some nylon string and used a screwdriver to make a t-handle and just pulled them off . Sprayed the rubber bushings with silicone . Lossened up the front clamp an pull the cat off . I did one by backing up a car ramp and jacked up the first one hope this helps . I did keep all the OEM parts to put back on when selling .

I meant that you can keep the stock exhaust and just install the Lamonster bypass. Here is the product link: http://www.lamonstergarage.com/perfo...ent-pipe-1330/

This thread is all over the map and is mind boggling. I'm staying stock. Red flags should go up when you watch Lamonster's video where he says, "This part is recommended for off road and tuning and testing purposes only." Quite a disclaimer. A little bit of legaleze going on there.

At least that i have heard
I agree--I took the Cat Delete back off & reinstalled the Cat.--The AKrapovic with the Cat sounds great to me...

I'm not a fan of "louder", and I realize that "better" is a completely subjective yardstick...
But it IS fun to look for an improvement!
Sounds perfect to me--I had the Cat delete installed with the BRP Akrapovic chrome straight shot--it was too loud for me plus it lost low end power. I reinstalled the Cat with the Akrapovic & it's exactly what I want. I even tried installing two (2) baffles with the Cat delete & it sounded terrible--not just loud--loud plus terrible :-(

I have the same Akra Chrome straight shot with CAT still in place--it makes a nice rumble backing down thru the gears. The CAT bypass was obnoxious & adding 2 bables sounded terrible. My neighborhood is much happier after I re-installed the CAT. I think it was Jase that said removing the CAT adds "mouse power" to upper rpms but it lost a ton of torque off the line.
