My dealer sent me these pics soon after they installed the Agostini's on my Special. Maybe this will help anyone who is on the fence regarding putting them on their bike.

Very nice, much better proportioned than the stock ones. :1:

The blue V7III Special is my favorite of the smallblock offerings. The Ago pipe makes it look even better! A beauty...

Thank you all for the kind words. I appreciate it!

Now we need a cell-phone video of how it sounds! Please...

I would love to, but the dealership that I purchased it from is about 1,000 miles away!

Those Ago's are handsome pipes, and nicely sized to fit the bike. Appears they don't incorporate a cat. Very fine!

Should be a very nice ride back once you pick it up.

Did they refresh the EDU / modify the airbox?

I have Agostini pipes on my 2015 V7. Glorious sound!

No, tech said not necessary with Agostino's.

Very nice!

The smaller diameter v. Stock would also solve your sidestand issue. Never have a problem finding my sidestand since I put the Ago pipes on.

Good to know.
Thanks!

Make sure you get the baffle inserts and clip rings in case you find the Ago's too loud without the inserts. I run mine with the inserts. Opinions vary on this.

Have not had mine tuned, but suspect a tune for these pipes would help a bit. Without the baffles in there was quite a bit of popping. Not so much with baffles in, but still does not feel quite optimal.

The photo your dealer sent looks like the baffles are out. I could be wrong on this.

Looking sharp!

At the same time, I just can’t look away the scrambler/stornello high pipe...ahhhh can’t spend it without sleeping in the garage without anger the wife lol

kingoffleece · « **Reply #20 on:** March 27, 2018, 12:09:19 AM »

My inserts are in. Enough sound that way for sure. My bike was remapped and runs so flipping fantastic.......... ......

Agreed, the high scrambler style exhaust is sweet. If Agostino made one, and if it wasn't so darn costly, I most likely would have gone that route. I considered the arrow's, but I really wanted Agostino's because of thier relationship with Moto Guzzi.

My only style issue issue with both the stock pipes and my slip-on ago's is how they flare out instead of running parallel to the bike. Maybe the V7lV ?!?!

You are not going to believe how great these things sound... I run mine with the DB killer in, but I've cut them down 50% per Rocker's suggestion

They make the V7 sound awesome, more like a big brother.

Good information and comments.
I've anticipated adding Agostini slip-ons to my V7 III Racer. So far I've not been able to assure myself they will hang correctly and clear the foot controls, on a 3 series Racer. Do the prices I'm seeing typically include the db killer. TIA, R3~

Maybe a pair of these Emgo adapters would help. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Upswept-Motorcycle-Muffler-Adapters-Fits-1-1-2-Pipes/142421741855?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649

Agostini silencers always come with DB killesr. They are removable in case you want to hear the bike in all its glory.
