aftermarket cans

although i havent picked my bike up yet im already looking at a set of aftermarket cans.
when i fit them do i need to have the bike remapped? alot of what im reading about ktm says they have been remapped!?
looking at akrapovic or quill cans!?
cheers, bone

you will want to have it remapped. do a search on here, there are several hundred thousands of threads on the topic, maybe even a million!
perhaps only secondary to "removing the secondary flies" threads.
oh... and you will want to go with the Akros, they are hands down the best.

If you can't get it remapped anytime soon, don't worry about it too much, I ran mine for about a year (about 1.5/2k miles) with leo's on that the previous owner had fitted at some point (not sure how long he had them fitted for) and it seemed to run ok.

If you don't have a dyno/remapper nearby, but do have a KTM dealer/service place, they can install a rich map for aftermarket cans (called the Akra map). Or you can use TuneECU / PCIII/V and add someones custom map by yourself, if you feel confident enough.

In that matter, how will you guys rate these aftermarket companies?

- Akra
- Remus
- Mivv
- Leo Vince
- Yoshimura

I mean in means of manufacturer quality in general and specifically for the SD?
