Arrow Rebel Exhaust dB Killer Baffle Removal & Sound Comparison - Kawasaki Vulcan S 650

[@izzojoseph2]

You’ll only need the snap ring pliers maybe 3 times in your life but they make life SOOO much easier. Though, these needle nose worked beautifully this time

[@joshc5658]

Love the how to video! Rode a Vulcan with the tbr exhaust and it was horrendous, I like the simplicity of the baffle on the arrow

[@trippontwowheels]

I couldn't agree more. Not a fan of TBR exhausts. Just too loud for my liking. I really enjoy my Arrow Rebel. Thanks for the comment!

[@jamesjammiejam]

I just got my Vulcan a few days ago. I love that bike. Been looking to differ the exhaust but worried about voiding my warranty

[@trippontwowheels]

Google Kawasaki’s corporate customer service number to be sure on that, they are very helpful and responsive. I don’t believe it will affect your warranty. Thanks and hope you subscribe! -Tripp

[@talonx1000]

Nice exhaust the videos are always helpful, I just got my Corbin seat in today next is the Hepco rear rack and the GIVI box, then the R&G crash bars. Your bike looks great bud, I took the recommendation for the seat and will continue to setup my bike for touring, the GIVI side cases will be my last upgrade but they will be done sometime soon. It’s a marathon as they say, be safe out there it’s getting to 110+ next week here in AZ but still ride on.

[@trippontwowheels]

Nice to hear from you talon, sounds like your bike is coming along nicely! You're going to absolutely love the Hepco & Becker Solorack/Backrest with the Corbin seat. They will completely transform your KVS riding experience!

[@talonx1000]

Tripp On Two Wheels indeed I’m loving the bike, you’re correct the seat plus Hepco rack will definitely change the look and be very cool. I’m looking forward to the next upgrades, and making this my touring bike. Thanks for the videos and the insight as always it’s very helpful.

[@GasWorksISO]

I like the sound of that exhaust.

[@trippontwowheels]

The Arrow Rebel is a great exhaust. The Delkevic is a close second in my opinion.

[@hviva81]

The exhaust sound good with or without the baffle. Will it hurt it any to have the baffle out? Either way it's a nice sounding bike!

[@krisgreenwood5173]

As you can see the $15 for the snap ring pliers are worth their weight in gold.

[@trippontwowheels]

Couldn't have said that better myself. Nice to see you Kris!

[@MasterKaiser95]

Nice!!

[@akepot]

Haha thanks for showing the multiple attempts with the needle nose pliers! Sounds great.

stevestutz And thank you for your nice compliment Steve! Hope you subscribe. -Tripp

[@ekimandersom4478]

Thats pretty much the first thing the cops would check here, if the db killer is in. So no, i won't take it out because it will void the insurance here, any illegal mod would made the whole bike illegal for road use and therefor would not be covered by any insurance in Germany. That means if i had an accident and they would for example see an aftermarket LED bulb in any light, they won't pay a dime. Same with db killer removal or any other illegal mod. Thats Germany

[@MattyMunchkin]

Where did you get the back rest for the seat. I can only find ones for the passanger

[@trippontwowheels]

Google “Hepco & Becker.” It’s the best you can buy. Adds much comfort with top quality. German made. Cost about $270 but they do go on sale occasionally. Several places on line should have it. Good luck! Hope you subscribe. -Tripp

[@skarpy24]

So why did you put the db killer back?

[@robertf3397]

Hey Tripp, what year is your bike? I'm looking at getting a Vulcan S 650, but the 2023 models (that I've seen locally) are just all black. I really like the Kawi green pinstripe on the wheels, like your bike. I think it adds just a little 'something'.

[@trippontwowheels]

Thanks. My bike is a 2015.

[@miguelangelriveiro]

Great video! Cheers! Just a question if you don't mind: What is that driver's backrest and rack behind it maker's brand? Looks gorgeous! Cheers!

[@trippontwowheels]

It's a Hepco & Becker Solorack with backrest. Simply google it along with "Vulcan S" and you should find a couple places to buy it. I love the thing. Thanks for your question - I hope you subscribe! -Tripp

[@scarreefty]

Hi mate nice video have u put a larger Tyre & or wheel on rear of your 650 Vulcan s or know anyone? I’m looking to so appreciate your thoughts Cheers

[@jw3384]

wow the baffle in sounded more deep is that why you left it in? i think im gonna pick this exhaust over delkevic. i don't want it super loud and it seems like its as loud as TBR exhausts. is there even a big difference between stock exhaust and the arrow exhaust since its the most quiet exhaust? just wondering if its worth the 800 bucks on ebay

[@trippontwowheels]

In person, the exhaust sounds deeper without the baffle. Even with the baffle out it's not nearly as loud as the TBR. The TBR just sounds harsh - you'd need earplugs and a bottle of aspirin on you at all times! :) I do favor the Arrow Rebel over the Delkevic. Thanks much for your comment Jordan and hope you subscribe. -Tripp

[@jw3384]

@@trippontwowheels of course I'll sub. Everytime I think of something I want done to my Vulcan I'll look it up and always end up on your KZbin lol. Keep it up brother. Also btw where did you get the arrow exhaust? Only company I've found was emlineamoto and I think they're from Italy and I'm from USA

[@trippontwowheels]

The baffle out is definitely louder, but not by a whole lot. Even with the baffle out it’s not nearly as loud or as sharp as the TBR. You can’t go wrong with the Arrow Rebel in my opinion. Good to see you Jordan!

[@jones3892]

Hi @@trippontwowheels, thanks for the videos and info. Just curious, do you feel you are heard at highway speed? Hope you don't mind another sub. Regards!

[@trippontwowheels]

I’ll see your sub and ask for two more. As the rider I can definitely notice a big change at highway speed when accelerating. Less when cruising. You’re going to love the Arrow Revel. Good to hear from you and recruit us a bunch of new subs! :)

[@TheDeterminedFisherman]

Great video!🎥👍

[@trippontwowheels]

Thanks! I really appreciate hearing that. How goes all with you?

[@hollydougherty8772]

Should the Arrow Rebel exhaust installation be done at a Kawasaki dealership.

[@trippontwowheels]

Not necessarily. Any solid motorcycle mechanic should be capable. A dealership may possibly be best, but will probably also be the most expensive. Thanks for your question Holly, hope you subscribe. -Tripp

[@mehmetkocer5887]

Does the snapring push the DB killer "wider" so the DB killer won't push out of the exhaust?

[@trippontwowheels]

No, when snapped in place it prevents it from being blown or sliding out.

[@bedevere007]

awewsome thanks

[@yahtzeejimbob]

I like your seat and backrest. Can you tell me where you found them?

[@trippontwowheels]

Seat is from Corbin seats and the backrest is from Hepco & Becker. It's a solorack with backrest. Google both and you should find everything you need. Thanks YJ B! -Tripp

Can the arrow rebel silencer be installed on the original header pipes or does it need to be changed as well?
