Yes, they’re the shorts. When I had the db killers on, I didn’t remap the ECU and it ran ok. When I removed the db killers, I remapped it with the T800 ECU flasher and it ran much better too. I think the bike needs remapping regardless if you change the pipes or not.
@@2-WheelAddiction I put a deposit down on a 2024 V7 Stone Corsa, and want to put a "stage 1" kit on it (Ago reverse megaphone mufflers with dB killers removed, airbox lid eliminator kit), and seems that this setup would definitely benefit from a remap using that same flasher. I'm an analog guy in a digital world, how easy was it to upgrade the stock map? I see from the website that they have a specific map for aftermarket mufflers with the db killers removed and a modified intake, so that would be the one I'd download and install. Thanks!
@@bronzestarvue It was very easy using the T800 app, just follow the screen prompts. There are videos on youtube on how the app works. I think there are only 3 maps available for the v7, I used the one that says after market exhaust without db killer and I too have a KN Air filter with the cover removed.
@@SoSemprePeccio If you buy the UpMap T800 ECU flasher, it's very easy to use. The app is step by step screen instructions. You can check out some UpMap T800 videos on UA-cam on how it works. It's very simple.
@@SoSemprePeccio I don't have official dyno numbers but throttle felt smoother and more responsive. Bike is just more gruntier too. Even if I didn't change the exhaust, I still would have flashed the ECU as the bike comes lean from factory to satisfy the emissions people.
Because many car drivers won’t hear or see bikers. The only way we have to make them realize we’re there is noise, either a louder pipe or a horn. They will both be loud, but horns will jumpscare many folks. Let’s cut to the chase: no, I won’t spend more cash on fuel and use my car during the summer just because car drivers won’t use their mirrors or look around when they drive. So it’s either the pipe or you roll over me because you didn’t see or hear me. Or drivers miraculously start using their freakin’ mirrors, which will never happen. One of the options will lead you to a long police station visit and probably a shock trauma. The other will just make your eyes roll. I prefer the second option because I’m sure you’re a nice chap and I’m sure you don’t want to kill me. And so, since we want to be louder because you won’t see me even with my bright neon yellow helmet, it better sound good and guttural instead of sounding like a sewing machine. Which would end up getting on your nerves anyway since that’ll disturb you from the text message you’re writing while driving. Cool? Cool.
I have the long pipes, no DB killers and they are amazing. I have an ECU tune BUT it is not needed. The bike run fine with and without it. Agostini supports this claim as well. You will notice how much better the bike runs compared to the stock mufflers. In comparison, my V85TT doesn't like the full open Arrow exhaust. It needs the back pressure generated by the DB killers. The V9 and V7 don't care as much. My V9 is an E4 bike and the V85TT is an E5. The E5 is a lot more sensitive thanks to the climate change communists. I have also noticed that all my Guzzi bikes and Aprilia V-twins like the longer pipes with larger exhaust chamber volume. Shorter pipes make them run a bit harsh. This is true for many other V-twin powered bikes. The reduction in engine heat is another huge benefit especially in hot climates. Open pipes don't cause the surge when stuck in traffic, true for both my E5 and E4 bikes. Just my 2 cents.
Hey, glad to hear you speak of the V85TT and exhaust, on my 2022 V85TT I used a Rapid Bike Evo tuner, K&N air filter and full Agostini. Have troubles getting it to run right and maybe inserting the DB killler will help. sometimes thing about removing the tuner.
@@davidspin5353 I installed the Rapid tuner on my V85TT and the bike run worse. In fact, when the engine was hot it was pretty much un-rideable. The left side O2 sensor was reading crazy values. Removed it and the dealer checked the harness and found that the voltage regulator wasn't plugged in fully. Whatever that means. Now the bike runs almost fine, depending on ambient temperatures, and I am very hesitant to screw around with the Rapid Bike add on. My V9 has an ECU tune from Todd and has been flawless. The V85TT doesn't run as smooth as the V9 E4. The V85TT is an E5 bike and if it wasn't for the tubeless wheels...I would probably recommend an E4 bike. The charging system is different and better on the E4 bikes. By the way, I have heard some complaints about the other tuning device, I can't remember the name, many say that it runs very rich and the tune is NOT bike specific. Stock sometimes is the best way to go.
I bought my Rapid bike tuner from Todd and a full system that he recomended, we had a falling out and he blocked me from participating in his forum, Oh well. I'll play with if nothing ill go back to stock.@@tedmarakas2626
I installed the Agostini long versions some time ago and just recently removed the DB killers and the bike runs even better, I have done no re.mapping at all, mine is a 2017 v7.
@@warrengarfield309 You don't need to. However, they run better after remap, they run a bit more rich and they behave a lot better in hot weather. Re-map eliminates the surging of idle and drivability in the city is better.
The engine sounds great , nice ride.
Thx
Wow, your bike sound much nicer than my V85TT with a full Agostini system.
Did you try it without the DB Killers?
Yeah, but still not like yours, seems like twin muffler have a better sound.@@2-WheelAddiction
Wow! The screen looks amazing!
Offers good protection too
nice i want one a these
Are those the short Agostini mufflers or the full-length reverse megaphone ones? Did you have to remap the ECU, or did the bike run fine as is?
Yes, they’re the shorts. When I had the db killers on, I didn’t remap the ECU and it ran ok. When I removed the db killers, I remapped it with the T800 ECU flasher and it ran much better too. I think the bike needs remapping regardless if you change the pipes or not.

What make of bar end mirrors are they, were they way to fit ?
CRG Arrow Bar end mirrors with Rizoma bar end mirror mount
Where did you source the screen ?
Amazon. It’s called a Puig Mod. Bat
Whst brand is the screen please? And what's the performance of the screen like in terms of wind protection.
The screen is a Puig Mod Bat. This screen performed much better than the shorter screens at hwy speed.
A very whirring type of engine sound, but perhaps only through the camera, not in real life.
Pipes sound nice in the background.
Yep, Guuzi’s engine characteristic
I think its the straight cut gears
I'm planning on removing dbKillers on my mistral exhausts, did you have any trouble with carburation/compression? Does the bike run still good?
I think the bike ran lean but people said it was ok. I can definitely feel more grunt after I flashed the ECU with a T800 map.
@@2-WheelAddiction I think i'll need some mechanic advice and help from a couple of friends of mine cause I'm not one. Thanks for the heads up!

Biking is great but why make more noise than neccesary? You like it but we don't.
So you drivers can hear me when I’m coming to split lanes. Works great.
It's actually illegal in 17 states to keep stock mufflers on a Guzzi. Spreading the good news of Mandello de Lario is the duty of every owner.
How's about you mind your business Karen. People like different things.

I'm in Australia and I can assure you that my Ago. equipped V7 is nowhere near as loud as most Harleys fitted with after market exhausts.
