Superveloce "Race Exhaust"

Finally got the factory "Race Exhaust" that I ordered same time as the bike but came 2 months later. Somebody will probably correct me, but I think it's the same exhaust that comes on the Oro...

I strongly recommend it. I know it's expensive, but I'm not in a boutique Italian moto to try and save money.

The kit is gorgeous. Despite the badly translated instructions, it mounts up easy and quick. It looks like, well, basically the Oro. One of the best things about how it looks is it enables easy removal of the footpegs for the goofy ass passenger seat. Now I really need to do something about that ABS pump -- will likely get a carbon cover and the "Race hooks" from Sato.

It comes with an ECU with new map. I'll post some pictures of how I moved the tank up and changed the ECU in the maintenance section.

Most important part, the sound: there's a dichromatic resonance between the side with two pipes and the side with one, that's literally music. It's loud, gets very loud up around 10krpm, and has a deep, throaty growl that belies the tiny size of the bike and motor. On overrun it burbles and pops in the most nasty way. Yet at idle it's pleasantly subdued. It will bother neighbors and even some riders on the highway (read: it drones). Wear earplugs and drink in the experience.

Looks good. A tidy tail to get rid of the plate hanger would improve looks immensely

Thanks guys. I don't actually like the spoked wheels that much, though they certainly are wild and I can see the appeal. Maybe I would like them more in person (as I did the leather strap).

The thing I really want next is rearsets and GP shift pattern. Far as I can tell nobody makes them yet....

You are correct and I'll admit that it may not ever work out for me. Rearsets would have to support the exhaust. I'm hoping that since this is the Oro exhaust mounting scheme as well, it will increase the chances of an aftermarket shop fabricating something. And then I also want GP shift so maybe I'm dreaming.

Out of interest.....
Did the exhaust come with a heat shield for the left side rear indicator in the box? Or did it arrive with a heat shield installed on both sides as stock?

(Dragster only comes with shield on right. No option for dragster to have a pipe exit on the left so makes sense, but it catches my eye that it's uneven and bugs me.)

Beautiful!
Does anybody know the difference between this exhaust and the similar one with silver accents, which is always street homologated?
I would to install the latter: I like more and is also less expensive (which is not deal breaker but is always good)!
Thanks

I have the road homologated one.

In terms of sound and performance, there is no appreciable difference (I have ridden bikes with both types fitted, albeit not back to back).

The actual ’cans’ on the road homologated version are, I think, a little bigger than the race one but only very marginally and they do not look out of place or odd. (See photos)

In fact, personally, I think I prefer the look of them with the silver accents although that is obviously very subjective.

I don’t think you will regret it if you decide to go for the homologated version. (y)

I had no idea that the solo seat cowl came with the foot peg delete bracket for the exhaust! So now that has finally come in and I’ve installed it “the exhaust hanger bolts are a nightmare to get too just as a heads up” I don’t know if I will change the exhaust as it sounds pretty good stock. I think if I do replace it I’m going to go with the SC Project single can. I just hope I don’t get in trouble because it’s to loud.

FYI-CNC Racing rearsets will NOT directly work with the Arrow 3-3 exhaust. I'm having to fabricate offset brackets to support the mufflers. The LH (shifter side) muffler will not use the Arrow-provided hanger at all-I have one cut from sheet steel that I am cleaning up and painting. The RH side (brake side) muffler may be able to use the Arrow-provided hanger - will update on the thread I started earlier.
