Maybe the bracket goes between the clamps, sounds great. It's fairly plain in the photos on their website. The springs hold the mufflers on and the triable is a brace mounting to frame device.
I bought these as I like the look but they are way loud like Harley shorty loud. With the db killers in its about normal aftermarket loud they will provide the killers if you ask for free but they say do not run them at high rpm (like dyno tuning) or you can over heat the mufflers. I have installed the killers however I think I might mod them to have supertrapps and see if that is a better way to deal with the heat. You should install try installing a bolt between the clamps as it does need a spacer I did this and I also spaced the front of the triangle mount it will clean up your installation a bit and is pretty easy to do
I love the look and tone of these pipes, but don't know if I could handle it if I can't get DB killers for them. I live in the city and work late at night. I don't want to make all of my neighbors hate me.
The sound is missing that certain metalic mid range, you know.. that sound you get from longer pea shooter type exhaust. This is very low end grunt without finesse. Its ok but it isnt optimal.
Pipes look great and would get some myself and I'm wondering with exhausts being a vital part of the running and performance of the bike have you noticed any differences on how the bike preforms as in before and after? Also wondering if you had to have the bike remapped by dealer as you have made changes? Great video and an honest review on all the issues while fitting your pipes and I hope the company who manufactures the pipes take note of your remarks after fitting. Thanks again
You probably won't notice the bike be any faster or slower. Due to the short pipes and design of 2-2 exhaust, you'll have little back pressure. With little back pressure you'll notice the bike rev noticably faster, but you will also notice loss of low end torque. It's not a bad thing given this bike has tons of low torque to begin with, just something you'll notice due to the straight exhaust flow design. I did not tune my bike. At first the bike will run a little rough, but after a few miles riding, the stock ECU will learn the new air/exhaust flow and adjust accordingly. The bike will still run a little lean, but not at dangerous levels. In other words, tune is not required, but recommend if you want to benefit the most. A tune would probably be required if you modify the air box as well.
Hey man, thanks for the video. I am just wondering what is happening to the sensor that original placed just before the exhaust muffler? Which model/year is your R9T?
Hey Starvin. I want to buy this exhaust for my 2020 NineT but I'm a little concerned about the DB at idle and at 2000 RPM. Our police have been randomly cracking down on noise and with it comes a hassle to defend. Any idea of the DB at idle? 2000RPM? I can't find anything online, and the last thing I want is to spend cash on something that's going to draw heat, costing me a lot more in fines and points. Thanks.
Hi sounds great and I want to get 1 but there seems to be a funny warbling sound at high revs just as you change up 5.04 - 5.09 and a couple of other places Is that mapping or something? Have you been able to fix it?
It won't work on a 2021 or newer R NineTs. It'll physically bolt on fine, but 2021+ R NineT has a 3rd sensor in the back, which this exhaust system does not have a place for. You'll get a check engine light.
The way I made it work was the two ends of the C-Clamp (that goes around the muffler) are under the triangle. The only thing that's above the triangle is a washer and nut. So, insert a washer on the screw first, then insert the screw from the bottom, into both holes of the C-Clamp, continue inserting the screw at the bottom of the triangle, as the screw comes out the top of the triangle, put another washer, and THEN put on the nut.
@@StarManProduction does it fit in the gap of the C clip. so the bolt then one half of the c clip then through the brace then the other half of the c clip.. . you see what I mean
@@MichaelPickles I see what you mean. I tried that, could not get it to work that way because the top c-clamp was way off from the hole of the triangle (you almost need to bend the top C clamp to.make it work that way). Even then, it would push the triangle and touch the other muffler, making it impossible to align the other c-clamp. I spent 2 days trying every possibly combination (even with the email K-Speed sent me with their pictures), but it just wouldn't work. The way I showed in the video is the only was I was able to make it work. The triangle is just a bit too wide for a smooth install.

Tried that, there was no way it fit that way because the triangle was touching the Mufflers therefore the holes in the bracket was off by at least an inch. And you can't push the mufflers out either.
@@pcohen85 I reverted back to my old Akrapovic Catless Headers with stock Twin Can Akrapovic exhaust with the silencers removed. th-cam.com/video/DvdBrs83UC0/w-d-xo.html
@@StarManProduction thanks! I also have the dual Akrapovic cans without the silencers. I believe I will order the Akrapovic catless pipes also and run that setup for a while. It’s a shame the cans cover up so much of the rear wheel though!
2014-2016 came standard with a rev counter and had a digital gear indicator in the middle. The 2017 and above Racer and R NineT (Standard edition with yellow forks) had different gauges where the Rev counter side has a small screen at the bottom for the gear indicator. The Pure, Scrambler, and Urban does not have that rev counter/gear indicator gauge cluster, but the wiring is there if you'd like to add it afterwards.
@@StarManProduction What other indicators does the 2014-2016 gauge cluster indicate? The 2017-current models have a gear indicator and fuel light on the gauge itself. Does the 2014-2016 have those indicators as well in the middle screen?
@@bhavinpatel2512 not much is on there. No fuel level, only a warning light that you're almost out of fuel, large gear indicator, milage/trip, clock, and if there's an error you may get a message (such as LAMP error when a bulb is out)
@@StarManProduction approximately how many miles does the fuel light come on? Not sure if there is a difference from the newer models. Also is there any indicators above the wording “nineT” or is it just a blank space?
@@bhavinpatel2512 depends how I ride it, sometimes at 90 sometimes at 120ish. Yes there are indicator lights in the gray space above NineT, in addition to Neutral light, an exclamation mark in case something's wrong, and high beams indicator.
So in the video I did say it "should fit - but to check first". Apparently the 2021s have a 3rd sensor towards the rear that I did know about when making this video, in which there is no place in this exhaust. Yes it'll bolt right up, but there's no place for that 3rd sensor for this exhaust. If you disconnect the sensor or just zip tie it, you may get a warning light which would then cause your bike to go into Limp Mode
There may be a solution, find yourself a muffler shop and they can easily weld an O2 plug with threads in them to insert the sensor. Check this guy's thread out www.ninetowners.com/threads/flapper-delete-on-2021-and-full-exhaust-replacement.147906/
I notice no difference.. before and after exhaust change I still get between 40-44mpg. But mine is a Euro 3 (2014-2016).... The Euro 4 and 2021s Euro 5 bikes may be different. I'm also not tuned which (though not required) is recommended with this type of set up
No db killers are included. Furthermore, there are no holes to secure a dbkiller in it. K-Speed use to sell it with db-killers a long time ago but not anymore (I asked). It is really loud peaking at 110db and you'll want earplugs when riding.
@@StarManProduction I don't mind the 110, our test (not sure if standard everywhere) are at idle and at 2000 RPM. Do you have numbers on those? Would love to order for my bike. Thanks
@@tiestoXIV I've had Akropovic Catless headers and stock OEM Akropovic Twin Cans and sounded really good (just not as loud). I then had the catless headers and Two Brother slip on, but too high pitched and metallic sound (I didn't like it).

Hey, Ducatista, I got the same exhaust and unfortunately it won’t work with my 2021 r9t due to an additional O2 sensor, so I’m looking to sell it if you’re interested
Pretty sure that's the best exhaust I've heard on an r9t
