• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Tailgunner Exhaust

we put the spyder1 attitude pipes on ours, because i want a low pitched loud set of pipes...and they are loud.. once we did a little modifying, (threw away the heat shield put bolts in the tipes instead of pop rivits) they are finally where we want them.. but this winter a custom set of pipes , guarenteed to be deeper and throatier will be made and installed...the shop said it will be the baddest ass sounding can am on the road... i cant wait...
 
Spyder 1 attitude

hmmmm well now that changes everything.. from what I have seen it's not that bad, but again only blipping does not tell a lot. The guys at Tailgunner told me they have a new model coming out in about 3 weeks called the "International" and he is supposed to be sending me a video.. I just want something that gets rid of the "sewing machine" sound the stock exhaust makes.. all the two brothers I have heard are way too loud too, but maybe they have the "sooped" up version . has anyone seen/tried or know anything about this one? http://www.spyder1attitude.com/Spyder-RT.html this was the first one I ever found that I liked the sound of

I have a Spyder 1 Attitude Single Black RTS-8B on my 2011 RT-S and love the sound. Easy installation. On the other hand, the removal of the OEM muffler sucked but I got it off. The angry sewing machine sound is definitely gone!
 
Spyder 1 attitude question

I wasn't going to say anything about this exhaust because everyone has their angle and that's fine. But it bothers me when a company says things that just don't add up. I'm not saying this isn't a great product. Just that I don't see how it can be everything at the same time.

'This glasspack muffler does NOT have to be repacked after so many miles, like many other glasspack mufflers.'

Every Glass Pack Muffler ever made has to be re-packed at some interval. Some packing lasts longer than others, but none last forever. What I am hoping they mean here is that their glass pack does not need to be re-packed as often as some.

Secondly, many quality mufflers base their repacking schedule on the muffler being raced. Most will go much further with the kind of riding we do on our Spyder's. So you shouldn't necessarily be put off by a relatively short repack recommendation. My Yoshimura has gone about 20k before needing a repack.


'Does not require any re-mapping of the computer, a juicebox nor a O2 modifier!'

Ok, I can go with this except for the next claim which I do not think fits the mold.


'Keeps your engine running cooler, better mpg, more power.'

For all of this to happen the exhaust has to be less restrictive. This allows the exhaust to exit more quickly and a bigger intake volume to enter the cylinder. But this will also tend to lean out the fuel mixture. Like most vehicles produced today, our Spyder runs very lean to start with. Changing the exhaust to a more free flowing condition will increase this lean condition. Without a reliable method of enriching the fuel mix, you can have issues.

With any intake/exhaust modification you should be prepared to do the job right. If it needs a fuel management system it's best to get a good one. If the exhaust is louder and improves exhaust flow then there is a good chance you'll need some form of fuel modification.

BajaRon- I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, but if you have questions about the Spyder 1 Attitude claims just pick up the phone and call Karsten. He's a very nice fellow and the phone number is listed on his website.
