    Default F3S short pipe.

    Went down to Jacksonville this afternoon to see my good friend Wiredux and to give him a hand doing the CAT bypass on his F3S. Fifteen minutes is all it took to do do the job. Then another fifteen to set the ECM. Man does it sound nice. Easy job.

    Default How nice...!!

    to have folks like that around. Good to know it's a fifteen minute job, for him anyway, and there was a noticeable improvement in the sound..

    Default F3S short pipe.

    It is really simple. Let the Spyder idle for 15 minutes. It was a really simple job. Pop off the clamp and 3 springs and mount the new one back up. Bruiser was itching to get his hands dirty on an F3. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1429446213.074545.jpg
    As you can see you lighten the F3 by 16.6 LBS.

    Am I to understand that the procedure for resetting the ECM is letting the Spyder idle for 15 min

    Yes, that is correct. After letting it idle for 15 minutes, remove the key away from the Spyder for 5 minutes. After that ride on to your hearts content. We could tell the ECM was resetting by listening to the exhaust. It is critical that you do not move the throttle at all during the 15 minute period.

    Would like some feed back after you put a few hundred miles?
    I'm seriously considering putting my CAT back on!
    A two day 1450 mile trip mostly freeway can be torture on your ears. Around town is fine.

    Thank you, does the short pipe, upgrade the performance or just the sound.
