I like the quieter stock pipe so its quieter in the woods .

[@Thirsty_Fox]

They all sound pretty cool, but I find anything louder than stock to be fatiguing before long on any kind of adventure ride... not the nicest thing to hear in the serene landscape, certainly not for hours on end.

[@newbierider3553]

Stock one by far. But i liked the last One as well. Good for scaring Karen talking on the phone while driving. ;)

[@motoryzen]

Indeed. Karen needs a damn reality check while on public roads. My Denali sound bomb wakes her the hell up pretty well too xD

Man... THANK YOU! I was doubting between these two models but I finally made a decision after watching this video. Greetings from Costa Rica.

[@filipbedri1868]

I was thinking of running the bike with the baffle in. But after about 300km I got used to it quite well, and there is nothing more satisfying than blipping the throttle and downshifting. Amazing recommendation, thank you. I will try to keep anybody interested posted about how it's holding up. I hope the paint issue won't be that bad. In the end it's just a paint whatever. Nice video.

[@TomySTS]

Hello, how is the paint holding on after 1year?

[@filipbedri1868]

@@TomySTS It basically all came off within one week, I switched to akrapovic later in the season. Still wasn't that bad, but I wanted something where I could quickly put baffle in and out.

[@TomySTS]

@@filipbedri1868 Did you felt any small difference in power like he was talkin in the video? I am looking to buy the silver one, without the paiting.

[@filipbedri1868]

@@TomySTS definitely with the baffle out, It seemed more explosive on throttle, not jerky, but I even managed to do a power wheelie on a 16t sprocket easily(I'm a huge guy 125kg 200cm). Which I couldn't on a stock one, neither with baffle in. But it is a small difference, it's an A2 compliant bike, to have more power just get something stronger. Have fun, ride safe friend!

[@perrybeyer7531]

I had a Scorpion Serket Taper on my 2014 CB500X. Mid-pipe had a welded on tab for a center stand stop. Sounded better than stock and not too loud even with the dB killer insert out. Just loud enough to be heard by others but not annoyingly so and no drone at high speeds. It was around 500 bucks though. It was also half the weight of the stock silencer and looked great on the bike. Another benefit is that it was dyno tuned for the specific bike and no remapping was required. An exhaust upgrade does not add much power at all really. Maybe 1 or 2 HP at best. At first the extra sound is like a placebo effect. Since it sounds louder it must be a lot more powerful right? WRONG! Only a full exhaust system, remapping and a dyno tune will get more and not as much as you would think. A few extra ponies is all that is good for. Exhaust upgrades reduce weight and are louder. They do not make your bike any faster in reality.

[@OregunAdventure]

In reality, pipe #2 made the bike faster. Easier to wheelie, front comes off the ground quick shifting into second. These two things are very apparent and not part of my imagination. I ride this bike everyday and can notice any lil changes on it. I’m very well versed in exhaust, and I’m here telling you there’s something up with pipe #2. None of this matters though as you are the expert here and I’m just some idiot claiming mass power gains from a slip on 🤣. Thanks for keeping me busy while sitting on the shitter.

[@perrybeyer7531]

@@OregunAdventure Yep, just some idiot sitting on the shitter with his phone. No, I'm not an expert but obviously neither are you and it's very apparent in your videos. I feel sorry for the fools who would follow your advice by fitting a clearly cheap and ill-fitting exhaust to their motorcycle. Especially since it does not already have a stop for the center stand that you seem to like and should, they're really nice to have. No expert here sir but I have probably been riding motorcycles longer than you have been alive. It's just too hard to listen to this crap advice you doll out without warning your viewers. The CB500X is a great little bike that can easily be ruined by adding cheap shit to it. Add nice stuff to it that is designed to fit and function properly and you will have a true upgrade with real benefits, not a cheap looking, jerry-rigged "solution".

[@rocketrollsvlogs7625]

I put the Leo Vince on my 2014 CB500X, and I'm okay with the sound, although I preferred the OEM sound. I wanted the lighter weight. It did ruin the functionality of the centrestand. I just took it off and probably won't put it back on. So I lost even more weight. I feel a little more power but I wasn't power hungry to begin with. Next, new foot pegs and I'm going on a diet to see if I can drop 30 more lbs... LoL

[@tiagofigueiredo2529]

I actually prefer the sound of the original one 😆

Hello, looking to purchase the 2nd exhaust he was reviewing on silver aswell. Do you recommend that exhaust? What's your opinion after 1y?

[@Transilvanian]

You made me laugh with that outfit 😅 exhaust sounds great i didn't have much options for my 2020 rebel 500 and bought the M4 slip-on

[@Dundertaker1]

I’m running the Yoshimira....not too loud and probably close to #2 with silencer in....rumble but not annoying.

[@wolfpack-1914]

I have the mivv suono in my cb500x of 2018..Without the db killer..It's a blast and I fu...ng LOVE IT!!

[@stevegledhill8418]

The Royal Enfield is a nice bike, but what happens if you need parts down the road? How is the supply chain in your part of the world. With the Honda parts are generally available within a few day. Just something to consider

[@georgeharsin6292]

I like the stock exhaust the best.

[@WyreForestBiker]

Agree ... hate cheap generic Chinese crap. Why would you fit junk to a decent bike ?

[@ljoelmchanley3676]

2nd pipe with db killer in sounds crisper and waaaay better. I would love to see dyno results on all of them...losing power (torque) below 6000rpm? Do it :)

[@thebigw3377]

Disappointed in you son - put the stock one back on !!

[@philwall5315]

Great editing in effect! Got a Leo Vince on my 1000, after 6000 its loud!! Baffles in, of course!

[@milanstepanek4185]

Digging the 2nd one based on sound though extra power is what would ulimately matter to me. For next season I'll try the Scorpion Serket Taper Silencer exhaust from Rally Raid alongside their suspension upgrade on my cb500x and we'll see.

[@MegaShawn88]

They all sound good! Great video!

[@ianferrier235]

My wife rides a 2015 cb500x and I put the Coffman shorty, on video it doesn't sound much different than yours.

[@NotJesusButClose]

Awesome!! This is what I have been waiting for! That second pipe sounds evil! Haha Thanks again for this it's really helpful I will most definitely add this to my list.... Unless you find something better before I upgrade 😁

[@VinceVideo53]

I see Honda didn't see fit to cover up your rear shock either. Still working well though right? I like the body armor you had on when you were filming the first pipe. I will be interested to see what the weld looks like when you put the centerstand back on. although you may want to wait until you buy a skid plate since I think that will require more modifications.

[@OregunAdventure]

Hey Vince. Hope all is well;). Ya the rear shock is holding up fine. It is a shame they couldn’t throw a lil piece of something in there to help. There’s a shop down the street that’s done exhaust work for me before. I’ll post up something about it when I get it done.

[@scienceexplorer3501]

What tyres are they? I have looked all over and can't find a great pair of duel sport tyres.

[@giuliobuccini208]

All of that bangs when you release the throttle (third muffler) means that the bike is praying you to provide completely new fuel mapping for the ECU.

[@whendashow6935]

Do you know if there might be some mufflers which have equal flow rate to the stock muffler that wouldn't require extra tuning?

[@bazzaxgen7169]

awesum upgrades, I like the first one you tested. Would the last one take on rainwater? Lov the sound but I will remain using the stock exhaust coz of my very early starts. My neighbours are feral so best not to poke the bear round these parts.

[@OregunAdventure]

Ya it’ll probably take on a lil rain water. I’m not too worried about it;)

[@jacksondwyer6163]

So I got a few problems with the stuff I ordered from your link. Maybe the bikes are slightly different designs. The middle pipe doesn't bend anywhere near enough past the swing arm or up in the direction to the foot peg for the kemimoto exhaust to fit on my 2021 cb500x. Not to worrie though I'm getting a custom middle pipe made up. The bark busters didn't fit either, I had to get a pair that are specifically made for the 2021 cb500x and just ordered them through my local bike store.

[@HondaKevin28]

I saw in another video that you had the OEM Honda center stand. Did you have to take it off for this since the stopper for the stand is on the OEM exhaust? Not sure but I think the SW-Motech center stand might work as it doesn't have the same type of stopper.

[@TheAwesomeSpiderDude]

I got tired of almost being ran over the 471cc Honda is quiet stock swapped mine out as well

[@TheAwesomeSpiderDude]

@Cj what do you mean? I meant now cars can at least hear me. I do a lot city riding merging drivers not seeing me use to happen alit.

[@johnbooker7322]

The second pipe. What's is that? I have the 2020 cb500x due to the sw motech pro bags I am limited on the angle of the exhaust pipe don't want to risk melting my bags.

[@urastus9202]

[@bigospig]

Nice reviews. Are you running the stock air intake/filter? Does the bike need a tune or anything to compensate for the new exhaust? Also are the two aftermarket units equipped with USFS spark arrestors? Thanks. -New subscriber

[@OregunAdventure]

No tune needed for this slip on. No spark arrestor stamp, but my stock muffler didn’t either. I believe it’s handled by the catalytic converter, but I could be wrong.

[@James_P60]

I like the stock sound then next would be the one you put on right after the stock one, I’m past the louder type pipes, but it’s your bike and it’s what YOU like.

Honestly after watching and re-watching your video i came up to 2 conclusions. 1. If you want some noisy motorcycle just buy a harley Davison. 2. And most importantly the cb500x is a light motorcycle on the highway so you need to keep it a little bit heavier, and if you want to save the money instead of buying the new exhaust and coupling pipes........ Drill out the stock exhaust , yes sounds absurd but (and i repeat after watching what you did in this video) you get pretty much the same results bigger drill bit bigger noise. That is what i concluded after seeing all you did lees money same results.

I just have to say that from this point on I will be withholding the usual 'likes' to your videos. Putting loud exhausts on cars or bikes, or taking the baffles out is what kids do. Last time I did it was with my FS1E when I was 16. I strongly advocate society and nature friendly sound levels. No one has a right to inflict that burbling popping goddamn racket on neighbours, traffic, pedestrians, birds, squirrels, trees or anything. There ya go. I shall remain subscribed, and the likes will be resumed when and if an effective silencer is refitted. 45 years continuous legal all year round commute and leisure biker speaking, (with 3 years before that on fields and tracks).
