【SP Tadao】POWER BOX PIPE Review
This really feels good!
Tadashi's Struggle to Develop Exhaust System
https://sptadao.com/chu/category/versys-x-250-abs/
I think everything written in the "Mere Old Man" is honest.
Originally, when turning at an intersection in 3rd gear, it was difficult to accelerate and Downshift was necessary, but after installing the PowerBoxPipe, it is possible to go in 3rd gear.
At rpms above 6000 rpm, the engine seemed to be stuck in a spinning pattern, and the rpm increase did not seem to follow the sensation of rotation.
From city driving to high speeds, mountain passes, and all other scenes, the sensation is better. In other words, it feels great! It is now so much better than before.
The only drawback is that the smell of the waste Gas is very bad.
The work can be done by one person, but liquid Gasket is required separately.OEM Material:AluminumGasket is disposal.

It'll be a little easier.
It can be done by anyone who has experience in this field, since all you have to do is remove the OEM exhaust pipe and exhaust system and then install them. In my case, the exhaust system was replaced because the rust had progressed to the point where the exhaust system was installed. Therefore, the comparison between the old and the new is ambiguous.
I think there is an effect of the Exhaust System, but before the replacement, the Motorcycle was good at running slowly at 60 km/h at low rpm, but after the replacement, it changed to a fairly high rpm high-speed type. I can run at low speed, but I have to lower the GEAR more often than before.
As a result, it is highly recommended for those who want to go fast and furious. For those who want to drive in a relaxed manner, OEM is considered better.

I'm glad I put it on.

First Full Exhaust System conversion
If I had to choose, I chose the SP Tadao PowerBox.
It is about 3/2 lighter in feel compared to OEM.
The OEM was prone to rust, but this one looks very nice.
The sound changed to dry and the idling sound became Large. When turned all the way up, the sound is rather large.
I don't know about changes in Torque or Power yet, but I didn't feel like I was down.
Fuel consumption remained unchanged. It still ran about 32 km per liter.
Even if there is no Power-like change, I am personally very satisfied.

Power up at practical RPM range
The installation was on a 2017 model and the installation was done by Shop.
Since the shape of the exhaust pipe has been changed for the 2023 model year, it should be kept in mind that the product is intended for vehicles before the exhaust pipe shape change.
As others have mentioned, the following parts are needed (14181-46E20) (14181-46E20-000) (The "*" is two.)
You can find it by searching for the part number on Webike.

It can be diverted without #, but it is better to substitute as much as possible because of the Risk of exhaust leakage.
As for my impression of the installation, I could feel the improvement in the dipstick and the power in the practical RPM range.
Do not expect too much, as the change is not beyond Class, even though it is #.
As a side effect, the weight can be reduced by 1.5 kg compared to the OEM exhaust pipe.
Intake/exhaust systems tend to cause TradeOff when changed, but I don't feel any Demerit even after driving about 2000 km after installation, so I think it is a well thought-out product.
