Best order to buy performance upgrades?
 

I've currently got the snorkel removed and a K&N filter. I have no real problem with surging etc., but I would like to get the bike performance up a little.

I have the following shopping list:-
Kev's fuel mod
DNA stage 1 filter (Is this worth �50 to replace the K&N?)
DNA stage 2 filter
Hawk (Pipewerx) exhausts

Financially these are going to have to go on at one item per month or so as I'm still paying off the engine bars, engine guard and centre stand! :D

Is there a particular order in which I should add these. i.e. Will the exhaust do anything without more fuel? Will the stage 2 do anything without a free-flowing exhaust etc.

Thanks!!


Edit: DNA stage 1 already on the way. Wanna buy a K&N filter? :)

Ruddy good question! I had the DNA filters, Carbon Cans and Kev Mod on my old XTX and it was awesome! So I'm gonna be looking to do the same thing on my Ten at some stage. Realistically I guess we need to get filters whilst we still get discount though no? Then off course that would mean NEEDING the Kev Mod for when those bad boys go on.

Can anyone recommend a cheap two-into-one zaust to go with that set up too?

(this shopping list is gonna have to come in under the radar me thinks) :eusa_shhh:

MTC - you can have cheap, or spec it up a bit.

Can I have my cake AND eat it?

I was kinda assuming that nearly anything would be an improvement on the weighty lumps hanging out my rear right now (so to speak :112:) but something shiny, sounds nice, costs naff-all and weighs next to nowt would be lovely. Am I asking too much?

Filter and KevMod first. A new can just saves a bit weight, looks shiny and sounds different

Yes, the MTC. I have the SS with a carbon end cap and it came in less than �200, but that was a year or two back.

The weight saving is good,, if you need to pick your bike up !

The engine needs a big old dollop of fuel to get it to go.:blob8:

MTC do a two-into-one? Couldn't see it on the site but I'm not the most observant. They sound like the boys for me then!!!

As for "picking my bike up", pah! Drops are for amateurs!!! :angel12:

The Ten only has one can anyway! it just has twin outlets.

MTC do a 1 into 2 system too, so you can have twin pipes. Or you stick a tool tube on the offside of the bike to balance it up a bit.

Oh yes! That's exactly what I need (apart from the domey end bit). Love yer work GULG, you're a gentleman and a scholar :headbang:
