View Full Version : Exhaust for 1190SX

Looking to get an upgraded exhaust system for my 1190SX mainly to let the engine breathe a little more and hopefully prevent the glowing header/ cracked header. I am looking at the Dean Adams system with the ECM and was wondering if anyone could weigh in on how loud it is? Are we talking straight pipes on a Harley loud? I don't have a problem with some volume to my exhaust, but one of my current bikes is running a GP style exhaust and is way too loud. Riding on the highway for more than 20 minutes is down right annoying, so it is just a twisty mountain road bike now. Also where do I get the Dean Adams system? Thanks.

It is loud, but sweet sounding. Early morning start ups in the neighborhood might not be real popular! lol
Because it is a twin the sound is lower pitched and does not seem to be as loud as an I4 or triple with a race can on it.

I am inclined to go with Deans system because he has definitely gone the extra mile in working with IDS on the tunes. You are correct about a race can on the I4s and triples, it sounds good, but it is just too loud for highway riding. I also have seen APH? exhaust, don't know much about it or if they offer any ECM support. The other thing I wanted to ask is if anyone has used Deans system with a bluetooth headset, on my other bike with the race can I cannot hear the other party through my headset at highway speeds it is so loud.

I ride with one on a daily basis in the spring/summer/fall and have had no issues with hearing anyone on my Sena 20s. I've made phone calls and carried on conversations at 85+ mph and the other party had no idea that I was even riding a motorcycle, much less one with my exhaust on it. I do wear the foam ear plugs all the time and can hear music & phone calls over it (the exhaust) very clearly.

If d_adams is the Dean Adams, where's the best place to get the set-up and whats the current lead time? Thanks Additionally, seeing as this is the only really good system out there, when is EBR going to start selling it?

www.deanadamsdesigns.com is where you can get it. I don't know that EBR will ever sell it, I've always sold directly. They did talk to me a few years ago, prior to the shutdown, but the commit number of pipes was more than I could generate at the time it was discussed. I think I've built as many as 6-7 at one time when I had a run of identical systems, but that's about it. I typically run about 4+ weeks out on build time, it's been pretty steady for the last few years.

Thanks Dean, I also wanted to know are the Race ECM's are programmed for Quickshifter and are they reprogrammable if I decided to change to lower gearing later on? Would I need to send it to IDS?

The ecm can be reprogrammed for a fee, IDS does the programming. Yes on the quickshifter.

1190SX, on the fully programmable race ecm offered by IDS you can change/manipulate the program. Its $630.00, and worth it if you like to tinker with setup changes. On the preprogrammed ecm's that are made exhaust specific, you need to send those in to be reprogrammed for gearing changes.

That is an interesting option, I am used to doing some tuning on other bikes via Tuneboy and TuneECU, would this be similar, are the available tunes? Would I be able to have the Dean Adams tune loaded onto the fully programmable race ecm? Or would I be on my own to tune it? Thanks

For example on the systems I am familiar with you can flash a tune onto the ECM, and you can make alterations to the tune if desired such as gearing changes etc.. Is that something possible with the Programmable Race ECM? Is there a tune database?

There are currently only gearing changes available in pre-packaged form, although you can alter them to your heart's content.
The programmable ecm is exactly that, FULLY programmable. It's not what I'd call the most user friendly setup, but it can alter anything inside the ecm.
The calibrations developed in house here are not 100% perfect, but they're pretty effective. Average gains are 14+ hp and 10+ ft/lbs. A few have been a bit higher. I intentionally set them on the rich side of the spectrum via wideband logging and limited dyno tuning, most of it was actual road tuning under a load.

Yes, I can ship them pre-loaded with one calibration, I have the rest as required.

So the Fully programmable Race ECM offers the ability to alter everything. The standard Preprogrammed Race ECM allows only gearing changes which have to be done by IDS for a fee? Does the Fully Programmable ECM come with the cable and program needed to program it?

I sell them as a package, the cable and software is included. Kinda pointless to buy the ecm and not the cable unless you've got one already. I just assume you don't and ship it together. The pre-programmed ecm requires being sent back for any changes.

Great, thanks for the clarification Dean.

There is a way to avoid unwanted sounds and protect yourself from any unwanted sounds. We never want the loud sounds when riding a bike. It cannot be tolerated. So we need to find a way to solve all the problem and make a very pleasant ride. I think we can use the motorcycle earplugs; it will help us to protect hearing loss. If we suffer a hearing problem, then it will become very painful day by day. So I would like to suggest to the very riders we need to use the earplugs as safety devices. We need to use the other safety devices as well such as helmet, gloves.

If you consider using very cheap earplugs then you won't get a full privilege because cheap earplugs are not custom made they made by to use a standard size, so it will never fit your ears. If you want to get the full fit earplugs then you need to get the custom earplugs, it will 100% fit to your ears because all custom earplugs are made by using impression. I was looking some best company that provides custom earplugs and I found a couple of them but I added to the company here for you, if you visit their website (https://www.bigearinc.com/the-best-motorcycle-ear-plugs-and-how-to-choose/) then you will get more information as well. https://www.jpcycles.com/motorcycle-ear-plugs

I like the sound of my bike. I do wear earplugs on longer rides. Not during the commute to work. ~7 miles
