Hey all,
I wrote an email to Wings asking whether their product was
compatible with the 2014 model. This is their response:
thanks for your request. in stock now NOS non oval shape with
carbon end cap 60% lighter and cool to the touch. includes 2
core options. 28mm like stock sound and 32mm much better
throttle response, both with spark screens. 550$ just send card#
and exp date and complete shipping address. no remapp needed for
use with cores. www.tuneecu.com has maps for mod bikes. we
offer the cable to use your lap top to the ecu 65$ thanks kenny
darvin
I replied requesting clarification on whether this cable would
interface with the 2014 model given that KTM has changed its ECU
this year. I'll report any response I get.

Have to wonder if the 2014 model year part got through as I
thought NOS stood for "New Old Stock" and some aspect of the
muffler mount did change for 2014, though perhaps not the frame
part.

Hey McNut,
I think NOS stands for "Non-Oval Pipe."
Anyway, they got back to me:
Thanks for your reply the 2104 690 does not need a remapp with
the wings. Either core will work great! Only if you modify or
remove the air box will it need a remapp. This is not worth the
effort as the gain is small and increase the fuel consumption
too much. We offer the DNA air filter 90$ and doesnt need a
reampp plus 3 HP. This is more then the mod lid offers without
the hassel of remapp. I will reserve a pipe for you. Let me know
about the DNA filter! I havent tried the cable on the 2104 yet.
What is your plan to use this bike for? Thanks kenny darvin!
So really, I'd imagine that the pipe will save weight, be cooler
(to the touch), and sound cool. BTW, in my response I told him
I intended to use the bike for "general hooliganism." ;D
IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN A GROUP BUY? I'll bet they'd give us a
break if we could guarantee an order of 5 or more.

Yeah Rusty's correct the NOS means "non oval pipe" in the Wings
world. But to the rest of the world NOS usually is "new old
stock". Go fig. Also on a side note I had the dealer that I
bought my bike from and he told me his parts guy made a mistake
and had purchased a new Akra exhaust (header, pipe, carbon heat
shields, the whole nine) and was trying to sell it to me at his
cost because he said it wouldn't fit the new 2014's. Not sure
why it won't fit I'd be curious to hear why, or if he might be
mistaken should someone want to research it.

I want to say I'm in, but I was also contemplating a Q4 and a
Powerbomb. That's what I have on my KLX 450r and I like it.
But I don't know if it would require a remap, I'm guessing it
will. Since the '14 hasn't been cracked yet I'm concerned about
the amount of time it will take for someone to figure it out and
get a solution out to the public.

Is the Wings Spark Arrestor USFS spec?

It does not have a USFS stamp on it, but it should pass stick
test with one of their insert. They have a wire screen & a
solid end. It been told it is a lot of $$$ to get the stamp.
