theanimal98 · 09-08-2007, 10:08 PM

I am getting ready 2 put a set of 3" Hard Kromes on well actually a buddy of mine is putting them on. I have a C90 2006. Some people have said don't need 2 put on computer some have said I need 2. Can someone that has gone through this answer for me. Also if i need to put on computer will it be alright to ride it to shop like that. Shop where I bought bike from says I do but just want to make sure that ther not just tryin to get more money from me.

From what i have read you only need one if you change to a aftermarket intake or something like a K&N filter. i rode my bike for a week with a new Cobra 2into 1 exhust and only put the PC III usb on when i installed a K&N filter.

Seems o me that someone out there with the same pipes as you will chime in soon. Love my C90 with my new Cobra HP powerpro 2into1, K&N and Power Commander,,, great sound and fantastic throttle response...

I asked my dealer the same question. He said ride the bike and then you should be able to tell. I installed HK 2:1 and had a lot of backfire on decel. I then installed the cobra fi2000r, no more backfire and greater throttle response. I am glad that I installed the fuel processor. Took another long ride yesterday about 300 miles and averaged 45 mpg. Thats up from 43 mpg over last weeks ride. Don't know if its the gas, the weather or the fuel processor.

Thanks guys. I am really anxious to hear how my pipes sound. I will see how she runs and go from there. I am also looking at getting power commander down the road. If anybody out there has instaled these pipes on their bike I'd love to hear your response on how bike ran and how they sound.

Hey you guys with new pipes - are you riding C90T's? I would like to change my pipes, but when I go to that boulevard website that specializes in Boulevards, I don't find anything that says C90T. And, if so, where did you buy your pipes?

Thanks!

theanimal98 · 09-10-2007, 10:20 PM

Mine is just a C90 not a C90T but I think that the only difference is the C90T is fully dressed. The engine and drivetrain is the same so they use same kind of pipes. One thing I think might be important when choosing pipes when you have saddle bags is make sure they extend past the bags. Otherwise they might get a little overheated and maybe melt or catch fire witch could be bad to say the least. Hopefully mine will be delivered tommorow. You can go to most any dealer to get pipes. I got mine from a yamaha dealer lol. They sold everything but Suzuki's but were able to order my pipes. What kind is mainly a preference thing.

I have a c90 also but I added the Suzuki windsgield, bags. lightbar, backrest... I also went to a Cobra Powerpro HP 2into1 (not the flared exhaust version) I am about positive C90 pipes are exactly the same as C90T pipes....

Yes, the pipes are the same.

frostbitevinnie · 09-12-2007, 08:12 PM

c90 & c90t are the exact same bike but the t is fully dressed.

floridajay · 09-24-2007, 07:21 PM

Youve got the same quest.as me Im gonna bite the bullit and buy Hard Krome 3 in. straights online for 570 and pclll for 300 and just pray its worth it

floridajay · 09-24-2007, 07:22 PM

and white walls diff. in bikes fully dressed and white walls

Wistrick · 09-24-2007, 07:53 PM

I don't know about the c90 but I put a PCIII and Vance and Hines striaghtshots on my c50 along with a K&N and the difference is very noticeable and the sound is awesome

theanimal98 · 09-26-2007, 01:06 AM

Well guys I got my pipes on and it has been an adventure 2 say the least lol. Put my hard Krome 3" on and she ran a lil rough so had 2 install a power comander. When i went 2 remap I found out there is only like 4-5 diff ones and none that matched my exact scenerio. At first I ran with baffles out and ran a lil rough still but better once i installed map that fit mine the best. I put baffles in and runs even better. Just very lil spitting. Ok all that said can somebody tell me do I need 2 change air intake? Oh and by the way I asked about getting a custom Map made and was told it would cost $300

. So my $600 pipe change could litterly cost me over $1200

Just a word of advice if you got fuel injection plan 2 dig deep in ur pockets.I must say i'm alil unhappy with additional cost but love the sound!!! Yeah baby hehe!
