Has anybody found an aftermarket exhaust that is reasonably quiet? I have a 2018 C5.

When I was looking for alternatives for the 650 I found the Emgo Dunstall Replica reverse cone mufflers were longer than the Interceptor mufflers but also quieter than stock.

I have the "premium" muffler purchased from our former host when he was in the RE importing and accessory business.  With the DB killer in the end of the muffler it was quieter than stock. So I bent the baffle tangs flat to open up the end of the exhaust and now it sounds about the same as the original muffler did.  Note that the muffler is illegal to use on California public streets and can only be used when racing your Bullet.  :o But it did save a lot of weight and does not scrape when going over my driveway approach like the stock muffler did, so there is that.   ;)

    We have a winner!! Please message me your details and I will get the mirror+ out to you. Congrats.
Just wanted to drop a note saying that I received the mirror and Brad included a couple of RE can koozies as a bonus!

The mirror looks well made and I will give it a shot on my bike to see the difference between it and the stock mirror.

My thanks to Brad the MaddMan for all the RE videos and offering the contest.

Keep the product reviews coming!

    You are very welcome Art, I'm sure you will be surprised by the outcome of the mirror. It was def. an improvement. CBS did a little feature on me in their newsletter after my review, which I thought was very nice.

I have learned to never expect anything from RE, support or otherwise.
I don't think they are customer oriented at all. Nor do they care if anyone is doing anything to advance their brand.

    I'm glad I could be of service. I would like to think that RE was finally listening to the customer complaints, but it is more likely that they realized they were losing a ot of money by having to warranty the bracket constantly (4 broke for me in under two years).

Winter's been blessedly mild so far just north of you here in Virginia, but I'm sure that as soon as I hit that "Post" button glaciers will commence rolling down my little avenue and I'll be wanting a pair of those things.
So badass my Enfield's actually illegal  in India. Yet it squeaks by here in Virginia.

    Tell me about it. Here just about an hour over the VA/NC border, it has been in the 60s for the better part of the winter. Today was one of the few real "Cold" day we've had. I'm not complaining. Although, the rain fall has been ridiculous.

Alright guys, I've received a lot of emails and messages asking about the availability of pars and accessories here in the US. Well, I have a definitive answer to the multitude of queries; Western Cycle Supply. Not only does WCS offer OEM parts, but also a vas array of aftermarket and even USED parts for the new AND old alike, right here in the US of A. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K_jT8oAB4M
