another exhaust/ Tuneboy question

[deaddeaddead]

I'm torn between the Arrow and the Trident exhaust. Any comparos?

My real question is about the Tuneboy and similar things. What do they do? Do you need one to remap.


Also, What is the benefit of switching airfilters?



Thanks

As I'm Trident exhausts I can't really comment on that bit of the question as it would be unfair (except to say we beat Arrow and every other brand in a huge MCN exhaust test last year)

Tubneboy - this is a piece of software and the link cables to make your PC talk to the ECU on your bike. It allows you to change the mapping of fuel, ignition , rev limit etc. In short you can tune your bike in the very best way possible to get the most power, or economy or whatever that you want. It is simply the finest bit of kit for tuning a Triumph available.

if you're worried that you may not know what you're doing when it comes to mapping an engine, there are also a huge number of ready made tunes that you can download from the tuneboy website - then you can play around from there if you choose.

Adding the free flow air fileter (BMC etc) will allow the bike to breathe better so more power - for example the TOR tune (the one your dealer can download to go with after market cans) and a set of pipes will add a fair bit of power and run pretty well perfectly, but with the BMC filter too you get a bit more power still and a smoother running bike. It's not essential but for $70 or so it seems silly not to add it in.

Tune boy is a great tuning tool.There are a heap of us guys that have rocket 3s that are using the tune boy program.
It has removed the torque restriction in the first three gears(The bike now power wheelies like nothen),corrected the speedo,removed the 145mph speed limiter and given us an extra 25+ hp at the rear wheel.Now 151rwhp and 158nm torque.
Imagine what it will do for a speed tripple(If i ever get mine I will let you no)

Ya... tuneboy is the shiz-nit for the trip. The best thing is it directly reflashes your ECU, not add a piece into the mix to fake out the bike. You can do all sorts of cool things with TB you can't with PC3. You can watch what your engine is doing via all the sensors etc, you can check error codes and diagnose, and all the tuning stuff is great... Wayne is excellent at customer service, and if you need something a bit custom he probably has it...

As I described more extensively earlier in this forum: my S3 underwent the TuneBoy treatment with a very good specialist here in the Netherlands.
Power was measured prior to application - with the S3 in full standard configuration - as 121.4 bhp at the rearwheel, with 105.9 Nm torque (75 Lbs/ft). Downloading the applicable Tuneboy mapping gave 3 bhp more, and finetuning the injection and the ignition delivered, in the end, 129.8 bhp and 110.8 Nm (79.5 Lbs/ft), with the bike still in full standard configuration, so standard silencers etc. etc.
Thumbs up for Tuneboy!!
