Hello Geoff _ Welcome to the forum.
Maybe you can add a little more detail to your question. What are some of the attributes you are looking for?
@Mav is correct there is a lot of existing discussion about this for the 650 twin.

Hi Geoff,ive put Powerage silencers on my silver spectre,they are brushed stainless,sound deep and bassy,and they run warm not dangerously hot like the standard ones which have cats in them,not expensive either.

Hi, any recommendations for replacement silencers for the Interceptor?

AEW from India make various replacement silencers that seem to be popular with many riders here.
They also make peashooters that are direct-fit for the OEM headers if you like that look.

S&S silencers are made in USA and pricey but also popular with those who chose them.

I have a TEC 2-into-1 which replaces both OEM silencers and their header pipes. Huge weight savings and they sound good, too.

+2 on the TEC 2 into 1.

I don't yet have one of those shiny new 650s, but once I do get my hands on one, I expect I'll be following the example of our Italian YouTuber and Madman of Campania, "Ice Queen POV", and fitting a pair of those Emgo Cafe Mufflers (Chrome 80-84032) he has on his GT.

I dunno...maybe his recording gear is better than most, but my word! THAT'S a lovely snort! And they so much resemble my beloved old ex-police Norton Commando's slim and elegant reverse cone cans, how could I not be smitten by such affordable elegance currently for as little as $63 a pop with free delivery (see: https://www.ebay.com/p/182519584).

If you want to check 'em out too, head on over to https://youtu.be/2kFXHYjkTZ4 for his cheerful little retrospective, "The Best of 2020", which, let's be honest, hasn't had a lot going for it otherwise. Go on. Enjoy a little vicarious tour of sunny Italy.

I’ve just fitted the AEW TE102 which are smaller version of the standard cans, as opposed to TE201 pea shooters.

The 102s came in at 2.5 kg each with baffles installed, whilst the std cans were 5.2kg each, giving 5.4 kg saving total.
The goal was simply to save weight. Accomplished!

At idle, the AEWs are a little quieter than my std cans were.
Under acceleration is a different matter. I will be careful not to go WOT if there is the remotest chance Mr Plod could be lurking!
I’ve not tried them with baffles removed and will do that when out bush some time.

I’ve only done 60 kilometres so far, while running in my new tyres, but can add that purring along at 2750 revs in 4th, the exhaust is quieter than standard. I really liked the note from my std cans mind you.

The note from the AEWs does sound “crisper” to me though and I’m very happy with them so far.

Then polish them. They make the bike look like the old skinny brit bikes they are trying to copy.
And huge amounts of lean angle on the left side (demonstrated)

Welcome to the forum!!!

What are you looking for? Inexpensive alternatives? High-end? Chromed finish? More sound or equally muted note as stock?

There are a lot of options available. Give us more information on what you want out of them...

I put on the stainless steel S&S race pipes on my 650 GT (mostly the same if you didn’t know) and took out the baffles. I love the sound. Not at all to loud, just a little rumble. The pipes are very nicely made. You can have your RE dealer order them for you.

Gremlinsteve · **Reply #12 on:** February 21, 2021, 11:19:01 pm

I have a like new used set of the s&s pipes I no longer need

I’m located in Texas and willing to ship

If anyone is interested

After hearing Youtuber Wildlife Moto https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5feAV8rWnKY6kFOrr7QZUQ - rave about the Scorpion Redpower slip-ons, and liking very much the sound, at least through my PC/hifi setup, and look, that's what I went for.

I was going to go for the Lextechs, but they are very pricey here in WA ($900 fitted) and I don't care for the badging, so I went with the Scorpions, from Hitchcocks. Arrived, UK to Perth, WA, in less than a week!

NJ Mike · **Reply #14 on:** February 23, 2021, 03:19:17 pm

Very interested! Please let me know how much. Thanks!

Hi, was looking for more power if possible plus best value for money and performance?
Thank you for all your suggestions

I put these on a week ago or so... I'm absolutely in love with them.

I chose the Tec 2 into 2 system.
Their slip covers were clearly an afterthought, so I'm not too pleased with that component.
The cans themselves looked great and went on without too much of a fight.
But whoever came up with their exhaust joint covers totally phoned it in on that day.

Picked up an inexpensive exhaust heat shield on Amazon ($5) to experiment with.
Can't decide if I want to use it, lose it altogether, or put a few turns of exhaust wrap on the joint & call it a day.

If your friends ask, it's a heat shield. put some sick on carbon fibre on it. Worth 10hp.
