The DP Termi high-mount exhaust kit was one of my first mods.
The kit includes:
- Termis
- Open airbox
- DP ECU
- Various hardware required
Despite missing instructions, a friend and I were able to install everything except for the ECU in an afternoon. Installation included removing the emissions box under the seat as well as installing spacers to move the rearsets out a bit.
I wasn't sure what would be required for ECU installation, so I asked my regular shop to do this. They removed the O2 sensor and made various adjustments, as well as putting it on the Dyno before and after.
Power and Torque (red = old ECU, blue = new ECU)
Power and Air/Fuel Ratio (red = old ECU, blue = new ECU; dotted red = ideal Air/Fuel)
As you can see, the new ECU filled in the dips mid-range in RPMs. The 695 is set up to run lean from the factory. With the kit on, it feels much smoother. My gas mileage did decrease slightly, but I still get around 45 mpg. [moto]
The Termis sound great (I have kept in the baffles as I have neighbors). It took me a little while to get used to the sound of the open airbox, but I quite like it now.
In addition to improved performance, the cosmetic improvements (looks and sound), the other benefit is saving a bit of weight (I believe about 10 lbs). I have not had passengers complain about heat on their legs, the CF keeps things cool. Overall I have been very happy with the kit.
