Black Widow Exhaust side mount Comparison! Yamaha XJ6

[@spicy110]

What one do you think sounds best? and what one do you think looks best?

[@judedenham5935]

spicy110 1st👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@tombeach8562]

Looks I’d say underslung but definitely leave it like that, sounds beefier

[@stuartgardner5282]

I have mine side mounted, and 100% still have my centre stand 👍

[@azzaboi1989]

Not sure about the new look but it deffinatly sounds better

[@SnzTib]

Looks 1st, sounds 2nd.

[@raytokens2291]

It nearly blew my ear drums I still had the sound level as listening to music. OMG. I'm looking for a set of open headers and black window are about 6 miles from where I live so I was considering them, but as you said they are cheaper than a lot of others. I think I may purchase a new set from them. I was waiting till this review you just done to make my mind up about them. Thanks for the vid bruv.

[@IOWNick]

longer pipe looks cool,and sounds much better in my opinion!!! digging the new intro tune too:) much love from the isle of wight X

[@captainaverage721]

Sounded like deeper base sound with link pipe? Sounds better but prefer the look with unserslung!! Sods law🙄

[@callumboothroyd3766]

I love my black widow on my KTM Duke. Had it for 5 months amazing sound for the price.

[@JVerschueren]

Longer pipe definately sounds better, especially on the overrun. I say stick the centre stand back on it and call it good.

[@HalfdeadRider]

Are the baffles in the end can? both times you started it with the can on, there was a noticeable rattle. I'd like to see the new position from the full on side view, otherwise I can't judge if it looks okay to me or not, did you leave it? Also not to say it's wrong, but you don't generally need exhaust paste on modern exhausts with those types of clamps, you should get no air leaks without it (as long as the clamps are fitted correctly), I thought about using some but did not bother.

[@MrMrhughesy]

It sounds deeper, in the comparison. I like the new place. Just looks funky there.

[@MultiMb77]

Defo deeper sound and really like it, prefer the look of it as well 👍

[@spicy110]

Yer the looks are actually starting to grow on me because it's kinda different. 🙂

[@issaoutrage7562]

does highpoint still shoot flames like the low mount? i rlly like the low mount fireballs

[@Fidgety_fugu]

Much prefer the new look and sound :)

[@08bluedog]

agreed

[@Greeny092]

Looking at the 200mm from BW atm do you find it OK I don't want it to sound cheap and crap I know videos you don't get a true sound

[@whoamiuk1]

I got my Black Widow for my old XJ600 (1992) for £249.00 and its great even after 3 years now. The only problem is oil change time.

[@joshwilkins9092]

So much nicer after both sound and looks

[@ridewithryan.]

Would you recommend getting an exhaust system for a 125 and which ones

[@spicy110]

I think everyone on a 125cc gets a louder pipe. As to what one well that depends on what bike you have. Just do some googling and research your options then research the one you like. 👍

[@MadNath]

@spicy the low mount looks better that's what I'm running on my mt ( baffle is removed tho ) quick question how do remove rust spots on my swingarm without paying to get it powder coated.

[@gvnchrstphr]

underslung definitely looks better

[@CantEatRS]

Still a beauty no matter where the exuast sits

[@DJShadow1966]

Yes this video was useful as I'm buying one for my bike next week, ....... should pep up the old v-twin note lol

[@TinManvlogger]

Good comparison 👍 I think the mivv I had on the MT 07 would of sounded different if it was mounted underneath the bike But with it being mounted on the rear foot rest having the longer pipe gave it a real deep sound I miss that bike 😔

[@xico9789]

The bigger the mm in the Kat the Lowder the sound?

[@spicy110]

The cat is removed as the stock system is one part

[@tiagomoreira8742]

​@@spicy110do you have a video removing the cat and installing this? I have 2011 model ans have currently the leovice slip on can I just put these with the cata ?

[@HippoDrones]

I think I prefer the look without the link pipe too, and the sound on video.

[@spicy110]

Yer defo prefer the lower look but in person the sound is more rounded and pleasant, much nicer on the bike riding but! I am a KZbinr so i guess it's going back to ear gold haha

[@HippoDrones]

Haha, I think I am gonna end up deaf in the name of KZbin with my bikes! :D

[@philhunt9297]

@@spicy110 In 10+ years time once you've become fully matured [sarcasm from an old git] or old as the younger generations like to describe and your hearing has been slightly damaged by all sorts of noise (not excluding the additional disadvantage of having loud pipes) I can just hear you say "back in the day I would recommend loud pipes to every one but now I just don't see the benefit but do experience the loss of low tone hearing and that video I uploaded to that KZbin thingy on 19th July 2019 I must have been talking out my arse because now I just can't tell the difference because I can't hear low tones anymore" ^^^^humour/sarcasm^^^^ from an old git No no keyboard warriors and flat earthers there really is no need to get butthurt - as you make your bed so you must lie on it

[@delta-sm9jn]

How does yours seem so quiet, ive got a 300mm one for my mt125 bloody thing is really loud,

[@spicy110]

Maybe because you listen to it in real life? Not a video?

[@elliotwoodhouse2459]

Have you had any issues with the exhaust being too loud since it's only 200mm? On the website it says it's not road legal but I was wondering if you've had any issues with MOT's or police, cheers for any help!

[@spicy110]

Nope no issues at all at multiple testers.

[@MrAtomicmachine]

Would you be able to fit panniers with exhaust on that place?

[@spicy110]

I have only seen the tail box style rack that hangs way off the back for this bike so honestly don't know.

[@tiborkovacs5317]

Maybe like A guilar string when longer thicker it's more a lower bass tone like trumpet Vs a trombone...oslt

[@Mskogeng99]

Hey man! Love your video! Just bought same exhaust to My 2014 XJ6! I found out when cruising in 80-100km/t, i have e vibration in the bike. This make me fast tired in arms when driving, do you have the same?

[@spicy110]

If you mean tired in the sense you have to hold the bars in place, then it could be a front wheel imbalance or an issue with the tyre. Really can't say anymore as that is not enough detail.

[@chrisdavidson911]

i, for one, think that giant stainless pipe stands out a bit and needs wrapping black. Whenever i see an underslung type i always think "yea, i wanna buell too". They both sound fine, i prefer the bassier feel of the side mount, and, when comparing it to other videos it has a more consistent volume level when you wind it on - need more videos for a better comparison really

[@bchant19]

I think it sounds better more traditional screaming 4 than before it was a bit more shouty

[@spicy110]

Yer that is pretty accurate it is still just as loud but somehow less harsh on the ear.

[@seidinger]

Mate, I have the same bike and just bought this exhaust... I have a question, that seems a bit obvious but got me worried for a moment: are the rear footpegs still usable normally after this? I use the bike for some trips with the missus at times and this would be a killer! Cheers and ride safe!

[@spicy110]

Yep no issues there, i also take my other half on the back when she's not riding her bike so i too wouldn't what to lose that.

[@seidinger]

spicy110 cheers man! That’s great news! Enjoy...

[@zakkeenleyside4450]

Hey dude love your videos getting my first bike in a week to 2 watched your vid on the Sinnis or the Lexmoto think I’m gunna go for lexmoto just is 2 grand worth it ???

[@spicy110]

2 grand is cheap for a bike. That wr125x is over 4!

[@zakkeenleyside4450]

Haha okay good can’t wait to finally get a bike I’m 22 will probably do my full License but want to get at least a years worth of riding experience first :-) would you agree ?

[@johnbuzzingt5747]

Like the short pipe i had xj6n was great bike do over 30 thousand miles

[@rickychase18]

Slightly lower pitch and I have to say i liked it sounds different when your on it compared to the still view but it already sounded good

[@Dylzhaar]

I've noticed you're running Roadtec 01s. How are they treating you?

[@spicy110]

Because I am totally up front (unlike some) I will tell you metzler supplied these tyres for review. (So I do have a review) but I am always honest how I find things. in short I really like them. Good grip wet and dry. Warm up quick and seem to last a good while!

[@Dylzhaar]

@@spicy110 I've heard these are some of the best for wet weather so I've been considering these for my next set. Cheers Spicy

[@musicmanluke3586]

I like it when it was higher up

[@india69pev56]

Spicy black widow or lextek??

[@spicy110]

I can't give a complaint about either from the ones I have. Sorry not much help haha

[@SnzTib]

Hi from Russia;); I have XJ6 and Leovince SBK exhaust installed on it. Sound on xj6 is not the best) the reason is - short pipes. So longer pipe sounds better and "deeper". With another longer muffler sound will be more deep and smooth. But looks long muffler on xj6 bad, reason - low passanger footpegs.

[@MotoTard910]

Sounds and looks better short

[@rickymullane9973]

I like it more a 4;07 mate looks a lot better to me

[@adammoorby99]

I wish there was someone who did a black widow exhaust on an LXR 😁😂 tbh i’m on about fitting the Lextek VP6

[@user-on5zm2we8q]

Well i think the shorty one looks rather pleasant

[@gerrup2126]

New intro song ?!?!

[@OmegaKnightRed]

Looks wise the under slung for sure, the side mount doesn't fit the lines of the bike.

[@lordstevewilson1331]

Maybe I should film my bike exhaust, got a feeling it would be louder.

[@spicy110]

You can not gauge volume with recorded audio.

[@terrymoore4208]

The longer the pipe the more backpresure better for your engine

[@terrymoore4208]

The only problem you got is the catalyst under your engine

[@spicy110]

The cat was removed with the old system. This is a full open system. 🙂

[@sprocket-YT]

That’s a definite no 😬 look wise but understand having it like that will make bike maintenance easier

[@Glories999]

7:00 chewbacca slip-on

[@sketchness8400]

Sounds slightly beefier to me.

[@Kiwiiyt]

nice vid! Got an install video of my blackwidow under my hornet (cb600f) aswell! #kiwiiyt

[@17hmr243]

gggg"z man when u doing a face reveal

[@tbonesenior6736]

2nd

[@78gragon]

Anty sosual as hell made me laugh.....

[@chrisellis1465]

Think u might be needing new rear sprocket soon looks like shark teeth

[@maycrotch8576]

Underslung looks better but I think it sounds better when you rev the engine with it extended 👍

[@maycrotch8576]

Great vid and well worth doing also👍

[@maycrotch8576]

3 dislikes. Wtf is wrong with these people 🤔

[@maycrotch8576]

CHIMAY!!!!!!
