Factory exhaust systems are designed to please people who sit behind desks that are offended by the sound of their own farts. They don’t ride, they don’t care they just legislate for a price that’s the bottom line

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

I do question if part of the catalytic converter is in the rear silencer? Does any one know? They are extremely heavy at over 5kg each. I know the stainless steel straight though ones would be much lighter. What would be the reason of making them so heavy?

[@ekimandersom4478]

⁠@@Teacher-T-Thailandsame as the classic 500, the catalysts are in the end pipes. My stock exhaust is 14kg

[@Motocapers]

Hi T, nice video mate, happy to see some of my footage in there too!

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Ha ha. You got me! Yes your video gave me the inspiration. I will add a link in description. Still interested in your fuel economy, and if you are actually getting for power, or just noise lol. 🙏 kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4apdpVrq9h9sJIsi=GE6BAkhI6MJpZNca

[@Motocapers]

@@Teacher-T-Thailand Hi mate, the economy seems to be pretty much the same as before, and there is definitely more power, but I have paired the exhaust and DNA filter.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

[@lancerbiker5263]

Always nice t have options. No engine or exhaust mods to my Meteor. I believe they got it right the first time. Cheers

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

I whole heartily agree with you. Apart from the rear suspension. That will be a upgrade for me as and when I can afford it. 🙏😂

[@felixVanDiemen]

I actually quite like the stock exhaust. I'm not really a fan of loud exhausts, having said that it is a little too quiet, however it's good to hear that the sound improves over time 🙂 I've only done about 1500 km but I thought it was getting a bit throatier. By the way I had the DNA air filter fitted before I picked the bike up so that definitely helps. Thanks for your videos 🖖😃

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Yep,I’m in no rush to swap out my stock exhausts either, but was shocked when I weighed them the other day. 5kg each! So that is 10kg of the 240kg just in the silencers. Thanks for the support 🙏

[@octaviodiokno4667]

awesome it's pretty amazing exhaust

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

It’s amazing how many different manufacturers are available. And growing every day!

[@GapBahnDirk]

Great stuff! I have Enfield Precision silencers and Hitchcock's headers on one of my Interceptors and the superb sounding Diablo exhaust system on the other one. I would be interested in belt drive, but it is a long ride to Chang Mai from Bangkok!

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Ha ha. I went to the Bangkok motor show from Chiang Rai! It’s ok if you half the journey, and stop at Pitsanulok for the night. But it will be sold as a postal kit. Test fitting and running done today. Every things fists and runs as it should. New video about it on Friday Eve. And in the future a fitting video. 🙏

[@erdinckarakale5834]

Very informative thanks

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Thank you 🙏

[@vulcan3198]

Hi T, loved your video to the hilt. I was undecided on AEW or Gursewak exhaust but guess the new Rhino Racing is the best there is. Waiting for your review of YSS suspension.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Many thanks. Sadly I will not be able to afford those YSS shocks for a little while. Probably a month away before I get a video out. But today the belt drive test fit was a success. That video should be out next week. Thanks again for the support 🙏

[@scott7082]

Those upgraded Rhino's look and sound good. Something about those rounded end caps on the stock exhaust bugs me and not a fan of the stock look. I am a real fan of the slanted stock Triumph Speedmaster exhaust look at the end caps. I run AEW peashooter style on my INT650 which I like as well. Your belt drive upgrade is amazing. Not sure if I should try it on my INT650 or wait just in case I trade in for Super Meteor.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

I think the foot pegs on the Meteor would be too much of a change for you from the Interceptor, But the Shotgun is middle ground and feels very similar sports ride to the Interceptor. A bike I hate following, because the exhausts blow straight into the face of any rider behind 😂🙏

[@felixVanDiemen]

I was having a look at Hitchcocks last night and they have an aftermarket exhaust for the Super Meteor that looks exactly like the OEM, but has the usual aftermarket qualities of being free flow and has removable baffles, so I ordered a pair 😁

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Great. Let me know how you get on with them please. 🙏

[@felixVanDiemen]

@@Teacher-T-Thailand will do 😎

[@felixVanDiemen]

​@@Teacher-T-Thailand I have now installed the slip-on mufflers onto my Super Meteor and as promised here are my thoughts on them... They make a very satisfying growl but are not overly loud, but just right. But the most pleasing aspect is that the throttle is so much more responsive, both on the acceleration and the deceleration. Very very noticeable indeed. I would thoroughly recommend them. I also like that they look almost exactly like the OEM mufflers. I'm very happy with them!

[@felixVanDiemen]

@@Teacher-T-Thailand If you want to check them out they are Hitchcocks part number 91191, cheers Felix

Unfortunately, meteor 650 is not available yet here in my place, Philippines. I'm obsessed with this bike. And if i ever have this bike, I'm gonna use the aftermarket Rhino racing exhaust for it. Love the sound...❤❤❤.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

And I thought Thailand was the last country to get. I hope you do soon. You won't be disappointed.

[@jotoportillo7128]

@@Teacher-T-Thailand i believe it's a fantastic bike. I love cruiser and it's perfect for me. And if meteor 650 has just used the belt drive...that would be the most perfect cruiser bike for me. But then, with a chain drive, still a perfect bike. I'm obsessed with that and waiting for that to have.

[@haimetaladua9273]

Thanks for the video, I am waiting for the shotgun to come to Thailand. Question is there any problem when doing the annual tax bike check ? I was looking at Harley before and told need to put back original pipes on otherwise you won’t pass. Second question, how about maintenance cost for RE, are they much cheaper to maintenance than HD and still reliable?

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

Hopefully the Shotgun will be available in Thailand soon. I wouldn't be in a hurry to change the pipes. They sound really good already on the Shotgun. I did a test ride in the UK : kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXPSn2yubriVoaM As for servicing, yes so much cheaper than HD. 🙏

I have a pair of Tec bike parts "Cannons" on my super meteor with the DB killers removed. At first i thought they were too loud and i was going to have to fit the baffles, but now I'm used to them they are really only loud under hard acceleration, at gentle throttle openings they aren't much louder than stock. I'm so excited about this drive belt kit.. will it be available to ship to England?

I don't agree with you when you say "we want that Harley sounds even if we're not riding one!" RE has it's own exaust note. It's own style. You should love it or go for a Harley itself. Harleys exaust note is patented. Not to be copied!

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

The problem is the original RE’s were loud. Now to comply with modern day government laws the noise is very restricted. To hardly no noise at all. 65db or below. I’m not a noisy exhaust person, But at the same time the Super Meteor is super quiet for a big bike, so I understand the demand in people wanting to switch out. And most people want a thump noise, to alert other road users. I take it you are not a fan of Harleys 😂🙏

Vervex is coming out with full system and already has slips ons and much better than any of these

Which exhaust sound is closest to an Harley ?

[@shubhamgupta-pq2me]

Guys the main reason why stock exhausts are hella heavy compared to any aftermarket one is because of heavy R&D R.E pour in it to make proper gases filtration chamber inside the exhausts so that extremely toxic gases would be either eliminated or converted into eco friendly gases inside exhausts before releasing them into the air to maintain pollution as for aftermarket ones are mostly designed to produce bassy and heavy sound but stocks are designed for controlling pollution and balanced sound so that neither your bike produces too much air pollution nor noise pollution 😅😅😅so i humbly request you guys to indeed buy aftermarket ones for your taste but changed them back to stock sometimes later on.

[@Teacher-T-Thailand]

100% correct. 5kg each silencer when I weighed them.

Brother it's not the R.E who made it ugly instead the government who forced them to design it like that so the sound in decibels would be under 80 😅😅😅 otherwise R.E were well known for their loud and cool sound. currently orginal produces 60-65 decibels of sound and the aftermarket ones you are seeing are above 85 decibels sound.
