Thanks @RoadTripper, i hadn't came across this one yet.

Unfortunately I don't think its quite what i'm looking for, although it would be cool if they could just sell me the header piece.

Curious, has anyone removed the exhaust and weighed it? While the extra weight is exactly where you would want it to be on the bike dimensionally, I bet more than a few pounds could be shaved by removing the cat and all that extra exhaust stuff.
British customs just released a slash cut tip, and a slip-on with carbon end cap. Both were not for me, as I bought the Hitchcox which is superior quality IMO.
 
Just received notification that Hitchcox has released Full system exhausts for the 400 and 400X. I bought the slip-on for my Speed 400, but wish I would have waited for the full system.


 
Greetings community,

So who has done exhausts on these bikes? Kits, custom, or otherwise?

Only thing i've been able to find online are Zard and Hitchcox.

I'm in the US (Colorado) and picked up my speed 400 about a week ago. Sounds great but i think could maybe sound better.

I've been looking at just getting a shorty megaphone or something comparable from Dime City or something and just welding it on but i'd also kind of like to get rid of the cat too.

I see the O2 sensor on the header, I doubt its a wideband though so any significant change to the exhaust would probable require some ECU adjustment too correct? I don't have huge plans for the bike other than maybe a filter and exhaust. Just curious if i should go ahead and piece something together and exhaust wrap it or wait for the aftermarket manufactures to catch up.

I'm just getting back on motorcycles after about a 15 year gap so i'm a little behind on the latest i guess, either way love the bike.

Thanks in advance for any input.
I bought the Hitchcox slip-on, and it's perfect. Sounds great at all RPMs, and really don't see the need on such a small cc bike for a full system. A+++ on the Hitchcox.
