Old guy here; having changed more exhaust pipes than you can imagine I will share a couple of tips with you. 1. a little WD 40 spray on the joint will help with removal of the old pipe. 2. buy some exhaust paste from a muffler shop and put it on the side that the new pipe will cover. this helps to make it easier to slide the new pipe over the joint.. It also helps seal the joint . Plus it will make it easier to remove the pipe and install the original pipes should it be necessary to pass your MOT 3 clean the new pipe very well with a handy wipe or an eye glass cleaner , before you start the machine . Other wise your finger prints will be forever visible after the pipe gets hot. I just subscribed and look forward to the next upgrade .
Actually that wasn’t too loud to be honest, but it’s more the depth and tone that’s changed. Awesome and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I’m glad you’re in love with the bike. It’s so important to have a connection.
@Webbo-gf6eq good point. To me the sound characteristics, atleast on video sounds better with DB out. Id like that sound but not too loud. No db-killers has been measured to about ~110db, db killers remove about 20db. on revving that is. Whit all that said it sounds amazing with db killers just as it is. Since the db-killers are pretty easy to swap in and out a mapping device with dual maps is a not too pricey option that will give booth of worlds. I wonder how the bike would run on a db-out map and the db-killers installed. I guess fatter fueling than the opposite and thus in theory a colder running engine with some risk to the lifecycle of catalysts. The stock maps have supposedly been updated to remove lean fueling issues at 2-3k rpm, with that into consideration a db-out map for hooligan days and stock map for gentleman days is possible, with little to no sacrifice. Caveat: im not a mechanic and don't have a bike.
Hi mate, congrats! I've driven with the DB killers out for about 3 months and it's just too deep and loud for me. Stuck the DB killers back and bought another map for it. Best mod I've done. Mistral know what they are doing. They've been next door to MG for decades! Enjoy!
Yup, that sounds great... cannot count the amount of times a blip of a louder exhaust has saved me on the road, definitely lets people know you are there.
Told ya. I took the decibel killers out, went for 100mile ride & put them back in, sounded great on open road but didn't like the sound in town or at slow speed, but that's just me.😊
Had Guzzis for a few years. Always get my parts and accessories from Gutsibits. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Have the same exhaust. Sounds just right , with baffles in. You can keep it quiet in villages. ( don't do towns ) Sounds lovely when opened up.
Sounds good. It's your bike, have fun, the V7 Special is an amazing bike that can be whatever you want it to be. I kept my factory exhaust, but I'm older than dirt. If I was your age, I'd have the loud pipes.
@@mdjmurrayhad a 2013 Bonneville for 10 years. Now I have a 2023 V7 special. And it’s special alright. I love it. The bike feels alive. Test ride it and see how it makes you feel. Cheers!
I like the look and it makes it thump a little harder. I'm not a guy that likes overly loud exhaust but I'm all about customizing a bike and making it your own. I also really like how much better the special looks over the stone.
Maybe not a popular opinion here but I like the stock set up. I've found that quiet mufflers on my V7 850, have allowed me to "Sneak up" on some really impressive wildlife while touring Europe. Let's be fair, if you are touring, you are looking for the experience or being in the scenery, otherwise you'd take the train right? I've had my system apart to be able to fit a centre stand. (That's a fun job!) I was happy to get it all back on, and will be keeping it like it was from the factory. Ride safe!
On my v85 I just put on a cat delete pipe,totally transformed the sound,added the booster plug to get rid of the flat spot at 3000revs,never heard of having to have a tune in order to remove the db killer
Exhaust change was the first measure most bikers did to there Iron Horse since the 4in1 Marvings/Kerkers were available 😂 Good move, sound as well as looks improvements, Darcy 👍
No idea what that is, with english people and loud bikes. Always funny, taking the ferry from Rotterdam to Hull, when there's 100 british motorbikes on board, and almost all of them are equipped with Obnoxiovich exhausts.
So glad you chose Mistral silencers . I have a Triumph Thunderbird 900 , and Mistral still supply silencers for them . I’ve been fancying some for years,but never heard them . Perfect! Cheers. PS You two make a great partnership.
Nice job. I love the Mistral slip-ons. I’m getting the same bike in the near future and am awaiting your additional modifications with great anticipations.
Sounds fantastic! I'm currently waiting for the same exhausts from Gutsibits, although I didn't bother with the filter and velocity stack, so I'll be interested to see how you get on with them. Looking forward to following all the mods you have planned.
I always had the quiet bikes and have changed my opinion. After I put an Akropovic exhaust on my R1250RS, I also put S&S mufflers on my RE-GT and removing the dc killers. This changed the sound to a lower pitch. I'm sure you'll have the same experience with the Guzzi. Love your bike with the changes that are planned. Wish there was a Moto Guzzi dealer closer to me. My "last" bike might have been the same as yours. 👍👍👍
Also running a 21 v7 850 special in grey. I dropped on mistral longs with db killers… I can also recommend a DNA air filter, and get yourself UpMap and reflash it to kill the E5 grumbles under 3200 rpm. I have all 3 and the bike is completely transformed.
Those pipes really look more sleek than the factory ones, the lines are much smoother. This bike is one of my dream bikes! This or a Triumph T120! Well done noticing the symptoms of a hypo and treating yourself appropriately, I have type 1 diabetes so I am very familiar with what they feel like!
When i was a young motorcyclist i fitted megaphone virtually straight exhausts....these days (a bit deafer) i prefer original - mistral sound...sounds like real bike...for me too loud is a bit fatiguing on longer runs...glad you're enjoying yourself 🙂🙃🙂
Gutsibits are an excellent stop off point for Moto Guzzi owners, I have visited them on several occasions for new and used spares, they are sited in an old mill building which is next door to the Empire Brewery. Gusibits are in Slaithwaite (pronounced "Slawit") near Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. If you are calling in person, Gutsi bits advise telephoning them first and giving them your registration number, they will put it on their visitors list so that you don't get a parking fine. If you want some refreshments, there is a nice cafe just around the corner from Gutsibits, by the side of the canal.
Yep looks better and will go better,I just put 20in Dunstall mufflers on my 24 super meteor 650 decibel killers left out and man what a difference sound and performance 😊 looking forward to watching progress.
I have the 2024 Triumph Bobber Stealth Edition, and it's beeeeeeautiful❤. So far, I have only changed the exhaust for a Hitchcox system. Sometime, I think that's all you need. Some bikes look perfect already.
I made the same face you did when you fired it up, lol. It sounds like a beast! Congrats on the new slip-ons, looking forward to seeing the future mods. Hopefully the decibel-killer update will carry over in the audio.
@@kwakithailand to increase their visibility to traffic, however their sirens are very misleading as to their exact location and position, and I repeat there is no evidential data to support the loud pipe myth 😉
Had a V7III, added the Mistral shorties, much lighter and sounded great. DB killers in, wanted a little more volume. DB killers out, wanted less volume (started to get annoying on longer trips at higher speeds). I ended up drilling a 5/8" hole in the end of the DB killer. Perfect! Glad you are enjoying the bike.
Nice video...😊 Sounds really great, just right and not as loud as most Harleys. I would leave the silencers in if you want to be neighbour friendly at night. I fitted Agostini slip-ons on my V7, a DNA air filter and a rapid bike fuel controller, screen and a very useful centre stand. I suggest you put some loctite red on the bolt threads and use the recommended torque settings as Guzzis do vibrate and the nuts can come loose over time. I had my gear lever came loose and I my rear reflector fell off due to the bolts loosening. When it comes time to replace your battery, fit a Lithium ion ( big weight saving). When your tyres need replacing try some Continental Road Attack 3s.. Big improvement in handling.
At the microphone, now the sound is much more similar to the one of the V65 my 1983 I owned in the past. Btw, your pronunciation of GUZZI is really good. Bravo, ciao!
I run a V85TT with a full MassMoto decat system and Storm muffler. K&N filter & Upmap tune... I Put an ASMR video up of it a few months ago. The Moto Guzzi Sound awesome when the pipes are fettled... Looking forward to hearing your full system 👌🏼👌🏼
This new exhaust suits the look of your bike way better than the stock one. And I love the sound!! ❤ Well done. Eagerly waiting for the other mods as well… 😊
Sounds great !👍🏻 I had mistrals fitted to my 750 Breva and it completely changed its character for the better ! Like yours it sounded much deeper and had alot more of the v twin throb and burble . Plus the quality of sound was such that no one was annoyed by the increased noise 👌🏻👍🏻
I think it sounds beautiful. I like a louder exhaust, but not a very loud exhaust. I have 1988 Harley Davidson Lowrider with Vance & Hines shotgun pipes, they look straight out but have a cleaver tubular baffle in the end that takes the bark out, they are 96 db at 2000rpm, 115 db on the open road, yes they are loud but not obnoxious. I have 2022 Harley Davidson Pan Am Special, and I have a V&H muffler for it, it makes a fantastic difference to the way the bike runs and sounds.
I have a v7 stone iii since 2021 and it has almost 40.000 km done. Did I make changes? Of course, but always came back to the original version. Believe me, no mods are needed on this bike. It’s glorious to ride, it sounds great and it shakes wonderful. just a couple of side panniers and a darth wind screen if you want (not too big). Cheers!!
Have you had any issues with yours? Personally looking at a 2023 v7 Stone Special Edition new and am trying to check with people on reliability. Thank you!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan They’re a brilliant bike, having a 23 litre tank they are great for touring and are easily modified to suit your preferences. Seriously considering dumping my lovely 950 (V2S) Multi (after three GSs) for a Guzzi or maybe two next time.
This definitely looks better and sounds great. It aint very loud with the db killers in neither. When you get the tune and can remove the db killers oh man, joy!!! I got to get me another guzzi, such fantastic bikes. I finally test rode the bonneville t120 and t100 from triumph and i much prefer the guzzi, just so much more character, and the character doesnt take away from thw riding experience, it compliments it perfect. Your guys channel rocks btw, my favorote bike channel on youtube!!!
The pipes look,and sound much better than stock.I'll be very interested to hear it after the db removal and tune.I'll be putting Mistral on my V85TT.They're high quality,and I think they compliment the bike nicely.👍👍
Sounds lush! Maybe loud enough and the tone is superb! Will be very interesting to see the results of the next steps. It's a really stunning looking bike, I'm surprised it's not way more popular.
The Velocity Stack will give you the desired change in the character of the V7 engine. I was more impressed with this upgrade than with the installation of the Mistral muffler. I am curious about your impressions.
After market slip-ons are really great and weight saving but make sure you wait until the original bike warranty runs out to avoid any other claim problems. Also make sure you get a document from the supplier stating that the mufflers meet the relevant local emissions standards such as E5 to avoid problems when you do your MOT or equivalent. I put Agostinis on my V7 carbon, added a DNA air filter and a fuel controller. Sound wonderful, especially on start up.
I just fitted some British Customs predator pro shorty's to my T120 which are the same sort of shape as those but a little shorter, makes the bike sound so much nicer, these kind of bikes are not terribly loud even without a baffle, so I don't see how anyone could hate it

3 clean the new pipe very well with a handy wipe or an eye glass cleaner , before you start the machine . Other wise your finger prints will be forever visible after the pipe gets hot.

Awesome and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I’m glad you’re in love with the bike. It’s so important to have a connection.
Sounds just right., not obnoxious but a lovely rumble , well done for doing the fitting .
Sounds great. I'd be leaving the db killers in.
I agree with you, there is a lot of difference between sounding good and sounding too loud 😊
I agree. Without the db killers, I found the extra noise to be unrefined and at the expense of character.
I also left them where they are. It is loud enough for my taste. 😎👍🏻

The sound is just perfect for this bike.not to much
Those exhausts are much better. Shorter, lighter and sound great. Good job there, looked straight forward.
With the dB killers in I reckon it's absolutely perfect. That's how it should sound stock!
Ok I am 76, I think the bike not only sounds way better but looks cooler! Looking forward to more customization!

I just fitted some British Customs predator pro shorty's to my T120 which are the same sort of shape as those but a little shorter, makes the bike sound so much nicer, these kind of bikes are not terribly loud even without a baffle, so I don't see how anyone could hate it
Sounds like my Thruxton R with US Spec V&Hs .. Awesome!
Sounds great and looks great. Good job! 😊
