Video of F3 after market exhaust

[figmotoday]

Does someone have a video of F3 with after market exhaust with cat removed?

I'm debating to trade on new RS or F3. In addition to my concern about F3 cruiser style seating, I want to compare sound of V-twin VS 1300 with both having cat removed & after market exhaust.

Be very careful!! Shawn, the tech from ProCaliber in Washington state, had a review of the F3 with a cat delete and two bros exhaust. Performance was just plan terrible, sound was way too loud, and has since removed it, replaced the cat and went with A Akro-whatever exhaust. He ended up with better sound and great performance!

Interesting & helpful point.

Does this happen to RT 1330 with cat removed and after market exhaust? Or F3 1330 VS RT 1330 respond differently to cat removal & after market exhaust?

I have a friend who has a '14 RT with cat removed and stock muffler and he's considering putting the cat back on because he finds it too loud without it. The worst parts of the two group rides I went on at Spyderfest were the stretches where I was right behind machines with aftermarket exhausts -- and that was with ear plugs on and having much of my hearing already blown away. JMO.

Hi JayBros,
Other than too loud, how was your friend's 14 RT performance?

I have a 2014 RT with cat delete and akrvpovic muffler.. I love the sound and even my wife doesn't find it too loud.. Actually the throaty sound is sweet...
I found both a heat reduction and performance improvement with the cat delete

I also have a 2015 F3 with cat delete and stock muffler. It is plenty loud and sounds great but anymore would be overkill so no after market muffler for me
Again slight performance improvement and better mileage after cat delete

He has no complaints about performance that I know of; rides lots of miles.
