Tyga Header Results

[Superpacman13]

Here is quick dyno pull to show how much power you can pull out of Matt's awesome Tyga header! I highly recommend these with the Akrapovic "open" system for even better gains. Using both together allows fitment on the 2017-2018 bikes!

So the header adds 1.3hp or the header + the exhaust?

Header only

Is it compatible with the 2016’s stock cat/muffler assembly?

Edit - it does indeed work with a stock muffler.

Man, I was wondering why I got a huge surge of orders on headers... LOL Luckily I had ordered a resupply already. I currently I have 2 left in inventory until the next shipment arrives. Not sure how long they will last.

So between header and slip on both how much gain are you seeing? How much does just the header alone change exhaust tone? With the header alone did you do a decibel test? I like the fact of removing the cat and everyone seems to say it has the biggest muffle effect. I am looking for a power gain, yet quiet but not silent exhaust as it is stock ( I am not a loud obnoxious exhaust guy).

Header may contribute to "throaty" tone some, but you shouldn't notice a discernible increase in noise level from the header alone.

Each slip-on system is going to have a different impact on power. Some decrease power, some do nothing at all power wise, and some increase power. A lot of it also has to do with the tune of the ECU map and Power Commander. Some increase noise levels to the pain threashold, others are louder. the question is too generic for a specific statement of exhaust impact on power tho.

Removing the CAT is going to do a lot more for you with keeping the heat out of your shock. THAT is the primary benefit of getting it out of there. And weight reduction.

So, the Akra pipe is the best you've seen with this header? How's the Yosh race system work (if you've happened to try it)?

Im honestly pretty surprised that no one is offering these with swaintech or a similar thermal coating. The header design on these bikes puts it right next to the coolant hose for the motor. I can only imagine how much a good insulation on the header, as well as that bit of coolant hose, would lower the engine operating temps.

ok, so this header, and what else is needed on a 2018 RC390?

Some form of 2015-2016 exhaust system. Akra, yosh, Arrow etc.

 

[John390]

ok, thanks. not the stock muffler and lower pipe then?

 

[Tom]

Just ordered, I'm going to ship it off to have it coated by swaintech once it comes in. I'll try to setup a test for a before and after on ambient temps once I get it back. Open to suggestions.

Here's the coating info:
White Lightning Exhaust Coatings | Swain Tech Coatings | Industrial Coatings | High Performance Racing Coatings

Can anyone confirm if this fits to the 2018 stock exhaust?

You need 2015-2016 exhaust. As mentioned already above.

It will not. The header was originally designed for compatibility with the 15-16 exhaust and while we were at it, the header was done with a constant diameter so we no longer had the "bashed with a rock to clear the frame" dent in the stock header. The header will work on 18 bikes, but you need to then use a 15-16 style exhaust. You don't have to use the Tyga exhaust system to use it. There are folks running the Tyga Header with an Akra, Arrow, and Yosh exhausts. I've had two customers who are running the Tyga header with the KTM stock 15 exhausts as well. You can't swap the 17-18 header with the Tyga one and retain the rest of the exhaust however.

Hi how did you get the 2017 rc header pipe off it doesn’t fit between the motor and frame when I try to pull it out can anyone help me with this thanks
