I'm not planning on changing mine, but sometimes wonder what effect a change would have on insurance (I assume you need to declare the change?) and future emissions tests for MOT.... do they even test motorcycle emissions?

 

MOT.... do they even test motorcycle emissions?

From the GOV.UK website

The only vehicles that do not have an emissions test as part of the MOT are:

• vehicles with fewer than 4 wheels
• vehicles with 2-stroke engines
• hybrid vehicles
• quadricycles
• hydrogen fuel cell vehicles
• electric vehicles

 

The header pipe seems a bit low in front. This is the same area where I used to drag the headers on my Commando. I don't ride like that any more.

 

Have got a header fabricated in SS. Cat delete and all.

Excellent!! Please let us know how it sounds, and how much louder than the stock pipe. Pictures on the bike please. And do you know what the weight difference is? I apologize for all the question, I'm very interested in such a mod.

 

Does anyone know who makes the exhaust/muffler in this photo. If I zoom in and squint real hard it almost looks like a Remus symbol on the silencer, but their website shows nothing for the Scrambler 400.

400X's endcan was sold as an accessory initially in chrome, atleast in India and this looks like it.

 

I hope they make it available in the states, I really like the look of it.

 

That looks a nice sleek header, especially compared to the standard part. I bet there is a huge weight saving.

It looks however, as if the external diameter is smaller than the standard part, is the internal diameter the same?

 

It is possible that I am mistaken but I think prior to the bike being released various options were shown and a stainless version of the Scrambler was one of them. As far as I can tell it is no longer on the option list. So perhaps that is an early promo shot.

 

Wait saving is 4600 grams. 400's header is double skinned, so the stock header looks bit beefy, have maintained the the same internal diameter as the stock, and needed to change the packing between the header and endcan as the old one is stuck to the oe header.

 

Admins, I am not very good at posting picters etc so pls remove the duplicate photos I posted.

 

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.

Whoa....$1340? That's 25% of what the bike cost.

 

You beat me to it. Ok it is a nice hand made product, but still. I wonder if any Indian companies will offer a more cost effective option.

 

there are other options. for example

I'm more than happy with standard exhaust

 

Me too, loving its "proppropprop" sound. 😁

 

So its not only my speed that pops. I do like it though

 

Anyone have experience with the AEW stainless steel exhaust silencer from India for sale on Ebay?

 

Anyone have experience with the AEW stainless steel exhaust silencer from India for sale on Ebay?

Well, I went ahead and bought one since it was at a reduced price on Ebay and I'm favorably impressed on several counts. First, the seller (sparezo) shipped it out the next day after I ordered for free, and kudos to FedEx incredible 6 day delivery from New Delhi to Northern California! Next the silencer is very well made from heavy duty stainless, fit perfectly and looks great. The sound with the db killer/baffle in, is virtually the same as stock but with it removed has a nice bark but not objectionable at all. The only potential weak point I could see would be the single set screw that holds the baffle in place. Haven't had a chance to test ride yet as it's been very wet and cold where I live. With a DNA air filter (next) it should let that great little motor breath freely.

 

I had them on my Enfield, light, nice sound, well made I thought.

 

I have the AEW silencer made specifically for the 400. I haven't installed it yet. it seems to be very well made, nice welds, finish etc. It has a removable db killer. The looks seem a bit awkward compared to stock but perhaps it will appear different once on the bike. I bought it in hopes of weight reduction as I think the stock silencer (400x) sounds great.

 

At the moment the most beautiful and most consistent with the 400x design

 

I meant AEW. It is the most consistent with the design of the 400x than other aftermarket exhaust.

 

Well I finally mounted the AEW silencer to my 400x. There is a minor interference between the swing arm and the body of the silencer when the swing arm is at it's full extension. Therefor I put the stock one back on. I may try fettling with it at some future time and try again.
What I found, the stock weighs approx 7.5 lbs the AEW weighs about 3.5 lbs. (I don't know just how accurate my scale is so take those weights with a grain of salt) I did start the bike and did a very unscientific analysis and there did not seem to be a significant difference in the loudness at idle or part throttle. It did have a good sound to it. Of course all references to sound are very subjective.
Although I can't say with certainty it may work with the Speed 400 as it has less suspension travel and the swing arm may not drop as far as the 400x at full extension.

 

Hi Ratnakar is full system exhaust for sale ...is all working good ...could you share

Is it much lighter than stock? My Enfield ones were half the original, significant saving.

Every db killer I have come across had only 1 set screw and I never had any issues with them.

 

Greetings. I see the Zard full system does not fit with lower engine guard, does the K-Speed full system? thank you

 

Don't know about K-Speed but according to LA Fab theirs does
don't know about the sump guard

here's a picture of the header with a stock silencer (not my bike)

 

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.

 

Please share a photo of your bike and link for the exhaust please.

I wouldn’t have thought that you would get away with it for long to be honest, too many NIMBY’s around !. The wheels look great but black ?. should have been gold surely ?.
