    Old guy here; having changed more exhaust pipes than you can imagine I will share a couple of tips with you.
    1. a little WD 40 spray on the joint will help with removal of the old pipe.
    2. buy some exhaust paste from a muffler shop and put it on the side that the new pipe will cover. this helps to make it easier to slide the new pipe over the joint.. It also helps seal the joint . Plus it will make it easier to remove the pipe and install the original pipes should it be necessary to pass your MOT
    3 clean the new pipe very well with a handy wipe or an eye glass cleaner , before you start the machine . Other wise your finger prints will be forever visible after the pipe gets hot.
    I just subscribed and look forward to the next upgrade .

      Doug, best comment. Thank you. Thought this too.
      You can see a lot of videos, where people don't use any grease, just screwing everything together and that's it. They need more mechanic base lessons !!!!

      So, you mean, make sure you left your fingerprints on the exhaust before starting it to make it unique? 😁

    Actually that wasn’t too loud to be honest, but it’s more the depth and tone that’s changed.
    Awesome and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I’m glad you’re in love with the bike. It’s so important to have a connection.

    Hi mate, congrats! I've driven with the DB killers out for about 3 months and it's just too deep and loud for me. Stuck the DB killers back and bought another map for it. Best mod I've done. Mistral know what they are doing. They've been next door to MG for decades! Enjoy!

      @Webbo-gf6eq good point. To me the sound characteristics, atleast on video sounds better with DB out. Id like that sound but not too loud. No db-killers has been measured to about ~110db, db killers remove about 20db. on revving that is. Whit all that said it sounds amazing with db killers just as it is. Since the db-killers are pretty easy to swap in and out a mapping device with dual maps is a not too pricey option that will give booth of worlds. I wonder how the bike would run on a db-out map and the db-killers installed. I guess fatter fueling than the opposite and thus in theory a colder running engine with some risk to the lifecycle of catalysts. The stock maps have supposedly been updated to remove lean fueling issues at 2-3k rpm, with that into consideration a db-out map for hooligan days and stock map for gentleman days is possible, with little to no sacrifice. Caveat: im not a mechanic and don't have a bike.

    Gutsibits are an excellent stop off point for Moto Guzzi owners, I have visited them on several occasions for new and used spares, they are sited in an old mill building which is next door to the Empire Brewery. Gusibits are in Slaithwaite (pronounced "Slawit") near Huddersfield in West Yorkshire. If you are calling in person, Gutsi bits advise telephoning them first and giving them your registration number, they will put it on their visitors list so that you don't get a parking fine. If you want some refreshments, there is a nice cafe just around the corner from Gutsibits, by the side of the canal.

      That said, the ones you run now sound real nice Darcy! I would like to hear them without Db-killers but i suspect i'd leave them in, personally.
      And i would get a UpMap tune even with these mufflers as the bike runs ridiculously lean from the factory.
      At least i'd do a old school spark plug test/read - Run it at max revs and kill the engine without letting off the gas, stop immediatley and pull the plugs and inspect them. That's the way we did it in the late 80's - early 90's :)

    Maybe not a popular opinion here but I like the stock set up. I've found that quiet mufflers on my V7 850, have allowed me to "Sneak up" on some really impressive wildlife while touring Europe. Let's be fair, if you are touring, you are looking for the experience or being in the scenery, otherwise you'd take the train right? I've had my system apart to be able to fit a centre stand. (That's a fun job!) I was happy to get it all back on, and will be keeping it like it was from the factory. Ride safe!

    Your fiirst sentence of the video sounded like you were doing an Australian accent. 😂 I was full expecting the next line to be "Thats not a Knoife"😂😂😂

    Very nice. Less weight and deeper sound !!

    Great sound👍
    The difference in weight in the silencers is that the originals probably contain catalytic converters 👍😎

      Those mufflers still have a CAT in them,that’s why they are homologated.

    Nice video...😊 Sounds really great, just right and not as loud as most Harleys. I would leave the silencers in if you want to be neighbour friendly at night.
    I fitted Agostini slip-ons on my V7, a DNA air filter and a rapid bike fuel controller, screen and a very useful centre stand.
    I suggest you put some loctite red on the bolt threads and use the recommended torque settings as Guzzis do vibrate and the nuts can come loose over time.
    I had my gear lever came loose and I my rear reflector fell off due to the bolts loosening.
    When it comes time to replace your battery, fit a Lithium ion ( big weight saving). When your tyres need replacing try some Continental Road Attack 3s.. Big improvement in handling.

    I love the look of that bike, so much better than the cheaper models with blacked out everything and alloy wheels; it makes me happy that Guzzi are still going strong and making these beauties! Those silencers are really nice; both looks and sound. I'd be all over that if it was a tad lighter and had a more "Japanese" gearbox.

    Leave restrictor in as some back pressure is good for the motor and it will idle better too. Sounds great and looks better than before. Cheers

    Also running a 21 v7 850 special in grey. I dropped on mistral longs with db killers… I can also recommend a DNA air filter, and get yourself UpMap and reflash it to kill the E5 grumbles under 3200 rpm. I have all 3 and the bike is completely transformed.

    Hi Darcy, Great job, looks and sounds fantastic! A proper exhaust makes the bike more exciting, i have a couple of Iron head shorts on mine, which would give most harley's a run for its money in the decibel department 😊
