I've run this exhaust for almost 5 years. 100% tune your bike with power commander or a flash if you plan on keeping your bike for many years. The baffle needs to be out to get the HP gains. It's actually quite alot with the snorkel off. Very noticeable in the top/mid end, didn't notice any low down gains. The exhaust has started to rust. Also the exhaust isn't properly aimed away from the bike so soot builds on swing arm and spool on that side. I actually took the exhaust off last summer and put the breadbox stock exhaust back on and remapped for it. Though going to put it back on today as I don't tour much anymore. Sound does get annoying after 3-4 hours on the highway. Before you try to remove the exhaust nuts on an older bike might want to warm up the exhaust first or soak in a penetrating oil of some sort a day or two before. Last time I did the job the whole stud came out of the head and all the nuts have started to corrode over the years. I went thru ali express instead of just paying for re-seller on amazon. Saved quite alot but obviously take longer for shipping. Valuewise this is quite a deal but keep in mind running this pipe long term untuned long term will probably cause some damage. It was overheating alot sitting in traffic, also bike got very noticeably slower with tons of decel popping while untuned as well. If I ever would do this again, I'd get the flashing kit and go with a better exhaust like Akrapovic. Flashing kit gives you so many more options other then just fuel mapping like fan cut in/cut off, amount of engine braking, etc. Or just get the MT-09.

What price is this? I search for it on Amazon and it's currently unavailable

Thank you for the video. It was super helpful for the install.

Hey I just installed this exhaust on my XSR700. Couple questions, I was not sent the bracket that you were sent to attach to the clip that wraps the exhaust. So I used the one that came with the bike. As a result it’s really tight and it pulls the exhaust up so much it creates a gap at the bottom of the pipes where the exhaust goes on the pipes. Will this be a problem? The gap I mean. What is worse case?

Only one gasket came off (the one on the right). I tried putting the new gaskets on both sides but it would not fit with the gasket on the left. Am i tripping or is that how it is?

If anyone has this and wants a bit more noise without the unrefined sound of no db killer at all, you can take the end cap off the db killer. Gives a nice middle ground that’s loud but not obnoxious like no db killer is (imo). Think it has the best exhaust note this way

The white covering on the bracket that is mentioned in the video is just plastic. Make sure to peel it off. Also, if you're looking for this exhaust on Amazon it tends to go out of stock quite a bit. There are two alternatives that look the same. Although, I WON'T guarantee they are the exact same as the Ransoto/Anodizing version. This is the link to the actual Ransoto/ Anodizing exhaust - amzn.to/3fkJbe8 If that's out of stock try this...amzn.to/3DH5s4n Or this...amzn.to/3RzVcAR

Sounds better with Db killer

My neighbours gonna love this exhaust

Is this exhaust street legal? I would be happy if you answer please can i pass inspection?

Does it keep poping ang banging even with the baffle installed? I want an exhaust real bad, but I refuse to get the bike tuned. I don't want anyone messing with my ECU.

i kno the vid is 2 years old but mine just came today. I hope you eventually realized the white around the bracket is actually just a protective sticker for the chrome. apologies if its already been mentioned in the comments. thanks for the vid :)

Will it need a tune up?

What power commander tune would I upload for this exhaust?

@motorider the exhaust holder white part peels off to chrome under it.

What what's the final verdict as far as performance goes? Did you keep the db's out or put them in? It really sounds healthy. I just got a brand new 07. Looking forward to doing some work to it. I'm on the East coast as well. 👍😃

Looks like the exhaust points directly back instead of out like the stocker. so probably a combo of that, and brake dust discolored that nut. I would imagine it gets hotter now so the break dust almost bakes in. That or the clear coat is just yellowed.

I like how you went back through the different sounds again. Sounds good with the baffle in, but man, without it...... that takes the cake.

mine rubs the swingarm

Did you lose any low end power from the slip on ?

the holder bracket has a white protect film on it, you can just peel it off so it will become chrome, it is not painted white

I just bought this for my FZ ... As far as install going, do you have to sweat any of the pipes

Appreciate your video thank you 👍🏾

Thank God I came across this video, I'm getting an R7 when they come out in Australia in 2 weeks. This will save me so much $$ 😄

Hi MotoRider, I purchased this exhaust after seeing your video. Question, Should i most def get it flashed before taking it out for a ride or can the flash wait? One more question, do you have the baffle in now or did you end up leaving it out? Thanks for the time!

On that db-killer there is a small screw holding an end cap. Remove that to get little more sound through with db-killer

Bro I hope you realized that that is white protective film over the muffler bracket and you had to peal it off :) Otherwise a very well detailed video

These comments are extremely helpful, KZbin is definitely the place to go for questions about your bike or literally what size spoon you should use for soup. Google has thousands of different answers for everything but I’m glad I came to this comment section to answer almost everything. Great video as well. Think I’m going to order this exhaust right now seeing it hold up against rust after a year and seems some what reliable. I might as well buy a Honda Grom rather than a $1200 exhaust for this damn bike lol. Thanks again.

How do you remove the baffle besides taken the bolt out of the front?

Hey man! Can you post a link to this exhaust? I would love to buy it and make sure it’s the right one!

Is it really important to get the tune after putting on this exhaust, i have a 18 mt 07, rest all the exhaust are just so expensive!! Im just scared to use this because i have heard people that it hurts the bike if you dont tune it, so will i absolutely need a tune?

Thank you sir. Just finished. Sounds pretty good. For less than 200, you cant beat that with a stick.

Can I ask what brand / specific model of the DB Killer silencer is that. The exhaust looks like what i on my scooter (with the odd shape/not like a standard symmetrical pipe shape). I want a more quiet exhaust but I don't want to replace the exhaust so I need something like this.

That’s an Amazon exhaust

Have the same exhaust on my 2017 for about 10000km now. Ordered from Aliexpress, much cheaper then amazon. The exhaust will dirty up the rear axle nut area, just give it a cleaning when you do your chain. Pretty simple. I reused the old exhaust gaskets rings, no issues at all. 100% either get a power commander, ECU flash, or ECU flashing kit. Don't run this without it, it really messes up fueling. And you lose a very noticable amount of low down power and long term your exhaust valves aren't going to like you. I ran it for a week without a fuel controller, loved the sound but the loss in the punchiness turned me off too much and I put the stock back on. Ordered a power commander put my flash on. Also popped off the snorkel. And fell in love. Run without the DB killer in for small trips. But for long trips put it in. In and out has a nice sound difference as well.

I had my exhaust system on for a year and 2k miles later its still works and looks great. I paid $185 on Amazon last year and now it sells for $230 , its the best upgrade on my MT07 .

Great video, just finished installing after 5 hours 😩. The bracket with gold washer thing was very difficult, I have big hands and had a hard time tightening both nuts. Only got the bottom one tight. The other issue was installing the muffler bracket. It's going the same place so I gave up on trying. Will got to mechanic later but tightened up everything else. Do you think it will be ok if I don't have the muffler bracket on? Thanks again for the very informative install on the other vid. I used it for the whole install.

Great instructional video. Just got mine in the mail today, cant wait!

Do you know does this exhaust fit with 2021 model?

When you roll off the throttle it makes that little high pitch noise. It might just be on video but can you notice it when you’re riding it too?

Excellent videos. Thank you. Can you give us a sense of how much louder this exhaust is compared to stock. Specifically with the baffle IN. I love the deep growling tone, but do not want it to be too loud. Thank you.

Without baffle its sound much good

Installed mine today sound clips do not do this cheap exhaust justice. Mine also came with the white bracket, did you purchase a new one or scrub the white off the original?

Do you need a tune after this process?

Hey hello!! Guys I have a MT 09 from 2015. I have a "anodizing" exhaust, I really like it but I don't know if I can find a Hono'ogstion for Switzerland... And also if it's good for my motorcycle... Someone can help me 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thx

How much did it cost to get the ecu flash and how long to get it back?

How much of a difference did the flash make? Did you get the same power/pull back as the stock? More? Still less?

do you by any chance know the size of the baffle screw? mine came off while riding :(

Where did you find gasket sealant that goes above 1000 degrees? Only copper gasket sealant i have found goes up to 700

Bro🤣. That white out is a sticker to protect the chrome. Its silver underneath
