How can you know how hard it is if you don't know how to do it?

Not really that helpful are you, you you? I just know I wouldn't even mind if it took an hour, but it shouldn't since it took me about 45 min to remove and replace panels

No panel removal required. You can remove and replace the air cleaner cover in about 5 minutes. And pay no attention to to peanut gallery hecklers.

Other than what I have stated before, there is no real performance gain.

Oh sorry. You can remove the cover using only a phillips head screw driver.

Indeed Sir, most of the aftermarket parts are made in Thailand and Japan.
Even here in Udon Thani NE Thailand there are no dedicated PCX mod shops that can supply and fit.
EVERYTHING has to ordered from Bangkok or Chonburi. Anyone opening a PCX mod shop here would make a killing.

I just ordered the Leo Vince GP Corsa exhaust from Speed Addict Cycles in California. Looks like Leo Vince is the only aftermarket exhaust for the pcx available from a USA source. I will let you blokes know how it turns out on my pcx 150. Hopefully I will receive and install it in about a week. Cheers.

Well you could start by taking the snorkel out of the inside of the air cleaner cover. It slides right out. Mine sounds more cycle like and not like a backup generator motor. :lol:
@Slickvic: I read somewhere (on a different forum about a different moto) that removing the snorkel leans the air/fuel mix and can make the bike run too hot or overheat; I am assuming Honda's EFI system automatically adjusts for this. Is that your experience with the Hondas you have modded this way, or have you ever noticed them running hot? Thanks for the info.
I am thinking about removing the snorkel in addition to the exaust I am about to swap out. Cheers!

I haven't noticed any overheating but my daily commute is 1-2 miles

is that rubber intake tube just a extension? or is there a restrictor in it? as long as there is no restrictor in it, the bike would have more mid range and low end power in theory due to the longer intake runner.

Can you cancel the order? The Corsa will be ridiculously loud for street use.

I just drilled the stock muffler to let more of the noise out and reduce back pressure.

The EFI system can handle a wide range of air/fuel ratios.
I would like to read where that is not the case. Pcxdemon has done lots of testing.

Can't cancel. It is due to arrive tomorrow. I am hoping for just this side of "ridiculously loud".
I wouldn't mind 3 times louder, but I don't want pulled-over-by-the-cops loud.
I guess we'll see what happens when I bolt it on.
