Thread: Termignoni vs. Free Spirits or?

  1. #1
    He guys...

    I got my bike now want to add sweet deep bass sound and low torque juice.

    So I am confused about which to choose and would like some advice please. What I want is deep bass sound and low torque power - the lowest possible as I don't like high revs.

    I would like to take either:
    1. Termignoni full system (headers + can)
    2. Free spirits full system (headers + can)

    I must admit I like Termignoni better as it is high quality brand + my friend has Ducati Sport Classic 1000 full Termi and the sound and torque is ultra fantastic!

    But I don't know about Termignoni for Buell (ECM setup, dyno results -torque, power, I got nothing) so this leaves a big question mark above my head.

    I like the looks of Freespirit headers but they are INOX and termignoni for the same price I got titanium headers. It's not that I need it but 2 kg save is a nice to get.

    Also the sound - I don't know much. Does someone have freespirits to "explain" the sound.

    Thanks for any info it is much appreciate it.

    I can't comment on the exhausts since i don't own both of them.
    There's another exhaust you might like if you like grunt down low.
    The exhaust is called the torque hammer is is said to make grunt @ 3000 rpm.

    Here is some info on the exhaust and a comparison with stock: here

    Tho do keep in mind that the headers were changed to pre-2008 (bigger)!

    Not to make your choice any more difficult but to keep your options open!

    @ OM3GA

    Thanks for the link man. Actually I have already contact them a month ago, they are really nice guys - fast reply, I asked them several questions, they ware very friendly...
    The owner replied like this about his STAGE 1 kit:
    "You will love your bike every time you start your engine. It took a lot of time for me to put all this into harmony..." - very nice.

    Still, to pay 1.200,00 € for stock USA headers and the INOX can, I think it's way to expensive. But I think the result is great on the other hand. I totally believe that this is great setup, almost I can imagine... Also, I don't know how it sounds, and I know that Termignoni sounds great...

    hmmm...

    I absolutely agree that they aren't cheap. But then again aren't all the good things expensive? :D

    As for a sound clip, here you go:

    the price there is for the complete kit, rsv

    the thing you would need is 982.80€, and you get the db-killer also (needed sometimes for police checks & db limitations on several tracks)

    Thanks LeFox. So probably he takes my EURO headers into price or something like that? What do you think about this setup - I highly appreciate your opinion what can I say...


    Also, as shown in this video, I would need to twist throttle 3 times before each start?! This doesn't sound practical at all!

    that's the exhaust kit for the euro model 2008-2009-2010.
    i got my setup from them, although that was before the hammer...but i'm happy with my micron & custom ecm setup they did for me.

    and no, you don't need to twist the throttle. ;)

    and no, you don't need to twist the throttle.
    Pheww... That's a relif. That's really stupid to twist the throttle each time you want to ride it. Wow, great...

    I am in contact with Dris and Martin and I will see what I will do... Maybe I will take this setup. So confused.
    With Aprilia the thing was so simple. Akrapovic - K&N - dealer ECM setup - and voila, perfect results.

    With Buell I am confused I must admit...

    Ok to summarize the cons:
    1. Termignoni - no data on dyno results, difficult to remap ECM.
    2. Freespirits - no data on dyno results, expensive
    3. Stage 1 kit - expensive, not sure in quality of the product

    I know what I want but don't know which option will give that... Help! haha
    :p
