WLW® 160 X 90mm Big Bore Round Straight Exhaust Tail Pipe Tip - Fits 42-60mm (WLW1-RB80)

Product Information

They say: Clubman for smaller capacity. Improved bottom end and mid-range with approx. 500rpm rev-on beyond others. The Casa pipe makes a wider spread of power at a wider rpm suggesting it would be good for two-up touring, the flare tail having slightly more torque although the clover tail is more consistent. Out of all the standard looking pipes here though the AF is the one. It has the power and the price. The Sito Ancilotti one is okay, but it’s still no better than the AF power-wise, though it does rev on a bit, which suggests on a Stage 4200 the Sito may be the better of the two. Tuning specialists S&S have worked their magic on Royal Enfield’s 650 twins, turning them from retro rumblers to burbling brutes. The result is an engine that builds power earlier in the rev range and holds it all the way to the redline. If you really know what you’re doing, you can even adjust the timing to suit how you want the bike to feel.

Secondly, an area we have not commented on was the finish of the exhaust pipes because firstly some were supplied in prototype form, and secondly there was no time to ‘carefully run in’ some pipes as manufacturers suggest to keep the ‘coating’ intact. The engine moves around quite bit (quite normal!), so I would be careful about trying the restrain the front end of the system too much. The manifold is quite capable of supporting the front half of the system, without needing any additional mounts. And so to the meaty bit. It is important when looking at the graphs to appreciate all of what the dyno tells us, and not just the line you want to repeat down the pub (usually mph!). Power and torque are the keys here ladies and gents. As such, what this test has taught us if nothing else is that like ‘horses for courses’, different exhausts suit different scooters. Balls out fast riding, drinking a tank full of fuel every 30 miles, tripping speed cameras left right and centre? Then you’ll be looking for different characteristics to the couple that want reliable two-up touring on a scooter capable of dragging everything including the kitchen sink around, uphill and down vale. on most six cylinder engines. The after market in the USA are way ahead and usually know what they're on about as do the aftermarket in Germany. As of Jan 2021, the United Kingdom left the EU. This means that Import Charges, Tax / VAT and/or Customs Duty may be payable.

Availability: Production will begin when we return their prototype! Cambridge Lambretta 01223 516662 or www.lambretta.co.uk From 2021 Triumph has introduced new Euro 5 models and have started phasing in anti-tamper, welded on rear link pipes to the Cat unit on some models. If this is the case on your bike the Cat unit will have to be removed before installing the system.

They say: This is aimed at tuned engines on Series 1 and 2s. We think that the JL road and race pipes are the best value for money pipes on the market, especially for an European product, light and easy to fit. Availability: Now, from AF Rayspeed (01944 710693 or www.afrayspeed.co.uk) and numerous other dealers.They say: The Ancillotti is an all-rounder aimed at all engines, tuned and standard, for people that want to retain the standard look, and you can remove the head cowling without removing the downpipe. And once you have become accustomed to the explosive torque delivery, and you trust the chassis to just about cope with the onslaught, you can start to savour the experience. After all, here we have a four-wheel-drive car with a manual ’box and a heavily boosted engine that doesn’t suffer from obvious lag. It's not hard to see the appeal, and the whooshes and hisses up front combined with an exhaust that does a respectable imitation of an anti-lag system when you're off the throttle gives the M520 Audi R8 levels of theatre, if not more. Thanks to Paul Karslake, John and Dean at JB Tuning in Southend-on-Sea (01702 545952), and congratulations to Dean who only managed a minor burn to his arm compared to the two large blistering affairs I clumsily accumulated – it’s true, stainless steel does take longer to cool down! I would agree with the “drill through the first baffle” approach, as that’s exactly what I did over 10 years ago.

And if those gains aren’t enough, S&S have also created a washable hi-flow air filter, which increases air flow to the injectors by 12%. And if you want even more, there’s a cover eliminator that boosts airflow by almost double.

THIS SYSTEM IS NOT TUV APPROVED OR E-MARKED. As this system has no catalytic converter, it cannot be marked TUV approved. Silencers are laser marked EU noise legal only. So I asked John, if money was no object and the design of the exhausts incidental, what would be his top four for performance. he replied: “B-Race, then CL Race, then AF Clubman and then the Saigon Fresco copy.” Peco exhausts are made to fit specific applications. Their assembly plant uses precision manufacturing jigs to ensure exact replication of all original prototypes.
