Year to year changes and ground clearance for US?

[ScartFatKidGT]

Ok so from my research there are

2018-2019

2020-2023

And now a 2024+ version?

2018-2019 have 6.7” of ground clearance
2020-2023 have 5.7”
2024+ have 7” (6.9-7.1”)

Correct?

If you put a 2018-2019 exhaust on a 2020-2023 does that then get you 6.7” or???

I also saw the 2018-2019’s are 40mm shorter? What other changes are there?

'20 - '23 exhaust routs under the engine so I would assume the swap would get you that height back.

I think maybe even more… but you would have to source a higher clearance skid plate…

Do you know if a 2019 exhaust is best or if a Duke exhaust is better and if so what year?

I do not. My Vit is street only and I prefer the current exhaust layout.
There is a thread here with someone running Duke/Svart exhaust I believe...

Yes , I'm going to do the same thing to my 2023 and any information would be helpful . After the install I plan on adding a coober ECU and fuelx lite . I saw a 2018 header pipe on Alibaba and wondering if okay to buy it . May I ask where you are getting yours from ?

You just need the whole thing, from the header to the muffler. It's a straight swap otherwise. The reason you need to swap the muffler is that the pipe-to-pipe clamp is different between the earlier model and the later one. Make sure to replace the copper gasket at the header. I think there's a link pipe that adapt to the newer muffler flange on eBay if you search hard enough.

The overall length did not change between 18-19 and 20-onward, it was just that the subframe was extended, thus different tupperware and seat.
