New PM Tuning Exhaust Fitted

[bryno]

After my Simmonini gave up the ghost I bought a secondhand PM Tuning Evo pipe, fitted it (to my incredibly dirty T5) today..





It sits quite low, but I don't think I'll have any problems unless I go bumping off curbs unlike most of the left exit pipes you can refit the spare wheel and its only 2 nuts to remove the back box to get at the back wheel. Nicely made piece of kit, separate downpipe which is attached by springs, end can is removable and it's really light.

Surprisingly it's a fair bit quieter than both the Sitoplus and the Simo..

When the weather improves I'm going to respray the end can silver BTW, not sure that blue suits my black and silver scheme ;D

I like the blue end can bryno. does the T5 pull well with PM fitted?

Been out for a spirited ride today It seems to lack bottom/mid end torque, but goes like a train when it gets into the powerband, does make you need to thrash it to get the best out of it though, before it topped out at 70 on the flat, nudged 75 occasionally, now it goes off the clock on the flat and gets from 60 - 70 much quicker ;D

Pity it doesnt have brakes to match the speed

nice one bryno,got one myself,seems a bit too low to me,can higher it up a good 2"inch if you alter bracket underneath .bit dangerous that i113.photobucket.com/albums/n214/jacktheripper1/007.jpg

Yeh, it is a bit low for my liking, but that seems to be as high as I can get it.. is yours on a P2? on other pics I've seen it seems to be a slightly different shape on the P2 so it runs more parallel with the bike rather than sloping back as on mine

[jackthekipper]

P2 engine but T5 frame,and also,thinking back,had to angle grind bit of stand off.forgot about that.anyway,don't go over any kerbs like i did and flatten the bottom of it

[bryno]

tee hee, yeh not good! I've messed around with the bracket today got it to sit a bit higher now, should be ok

Gone with satin black on the can, bit more subtle

sound do

I fitted one of these to my p125x i found it a bit loud and did not like the no bottom end and having to trash it all the time

also the exhaust was a good 20mm from spare wheel and still managed to touch it and melt my new spare tyre so watch out

Yeh, it does lack a bit of bottom end, on a standard T5 it would be worse (as they are pretty weak at low revs as standard) with the 172 conversion it's a bit better..

Mines not that close to the wheel as it sits pretty low, I'll keep an eye on it, may be an issue 2 up.

Noise wise, I find it's quieter than the Sito Plus and about the same as the Simmonini, bit deeper in tone. T5's are damm noisy as standard compared to the PX!

I'm deffo using more fuel now though, going to chance down a jet size see if I can get away with that

Bryno-is your T5 a standard 125 engine or kitted, coz i dont get anywhere near the speeds you quote This could be either yours is kitted or i need to lose weight

[bryno]

Forget the diet, mine has the Malossi 172

As a 125 it pulled 60 - 65 on the flat, 70 down a bit of a hill..

Now it pulls 70 on the flat, goes off the clock on a hill..

Bottom end torque is much better than before, though since I've fitted the PM exhaust, It's lost a bit of this, PM exh works much better at the top of the rev range.

If you are thinking about fitting a kit, do a search on here, there have been a couple of threads on them
