I'm thinking about putting termi end cans on my 998 bip (45mm diameter). Do i need to replace a chip or can I just slip them on? Are they loud enough to fail trackday noise tests?

[skidlids]

A lot depends on there condition, if they are like new as in they are well packed then the noise level shouldn't be to bad at most tracks, probably not at Castle Combe and could also be an issue at Brands GP. Also the state of them could effect the way it runs.
Either way replacing the ECU (No actual Chip to change) probably isn't the most effective way to go. These days there are a couple of places you can have the standard ECU dialed in or go for a powercommander and get that setup

these worked for me:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EXHAUST-BA...3&cmd=ViewItem

99% Termi/duke 45/50mm measurements are outside diameter, measure your internal bore before ordering!

I swapped over the standard cans and ECU on our 998BP on Saturday, for a set of Termi's with the link pipe and the ECU that came with them (marked 996r). These came with the bike.

Now the increase in noise was very noticeable, but then again it is a much bigger tube with no baffles in there to slow down the gasses. I think the exit hole has gone up from 27mm to 50mm and there is a big difference in the link pipe internal dimensions.

I managed to ride it properly for the 1st time yesterday. The pull out on the open road is definately improved, I could feel the tyre moving about.

The mixture control however low down did give me a few problems in town traffic. I have to say that the standard set-up is a lot easier in traffic.

So I think we are going to need some dyno time and a power commander to smooth things out over the winter.

mmm not sure you should be using a 996R ecu on the standard bip. the 998S I have had a 996R ecu for the 50/54mm Ti Termi's and the engine between the Bip and S are substantially different. The 996R/998S have the deep sump motors which rev bit higher then the std 998.

I doubt it will do any harm but dont over-rev the bip with the 996R ecu!

Good points, I will have to check with the previous owner re this 996R ECU! No chance of over reving in this weather!
