    Default HMF EXHAUST

    I want to put HMF exhaust on my 13 rs but not put fuel optimizer. Does anyone know if I need this. If so is there exhaust out there that doesn't.

    Default Hard to say..!!

    I run a hindle exhaust and JT's air system and no fuel controller. HMF has different models but if you stay away from the competition models you should be fine. Maybe there is someone running an HMF without a controller. Many shop just automatically tell you you need the controller...

    I have an HMF on my 2013 RS. They only have one option for the 2013's so it makes pick one easy. You will not need any other mods and it is an easy swap. I've got about 1500 miles on mine and love it.

    We ran for awhile on a 12' and an 11' both with HMF exhausts and no additional fuel manegement. No issues.
    Is yours an SM or SE? We have had some decel popping on SE machines, but it's not anything that is going to hurt anything. Just annoying.

    Default +1 on the HMF

    the hmf sounds great. if i were to buy a factory made pipe, it would be the hmf. excellent bang for the buck.
    it was fun while it lasted.

    Hmf have a great sound and a better price. 10,000 miles on my HMF without any juice box and no issues. I get a little backfire laying off the throttle when its hot out +85.

    Watch the clearance of the pipe and the parking brake pulley on the right side of the rear wheel. The HMF pipe installs pretty snug to the bike...which I personally like but if your not careful you can install it in a way that it will hit when the suspension compresses

    Probably the only way to get it a little louder is to remove the Cat Converter, the 2013s have it before the Muffler. Lamonster does one. I have one being made for my 2013 ST SM5 with an Akrapovic.

    Mine has gotten louder after about 1500 miles. It is louder, but still not obnoxious.

    The cat muffles the sound quite a bit.

    Default 123

    i think doc doru holds the spyder speed record of 123. the cat does keep things kinda quiet. it will get a little louder over time. or just ditch the cat.

    So how is the HMF pipe working out for you, have you gotten it installed yet? I really like mine, just curious what you think.
