Just bought and installed my s&s exhaust. What a difference it makes
I love it

I paid 502 usd out the door. These are the street versions with the cat inside

Nice ! Did you install them yourself? Which is really asking how much do they weigh, if you know.

Gremlinsteve · **Reply #2 on:** June 03, 2020, 04:33:51 am

I installed them myself but did not weigh them
It’s a significant weight difference though

They look real nice. Classy and quality. Good choice.

Gremlinsteve · **Reply #4 on:** June 03, 2020, 08:50:05 am

Thanks
I have them installed without the baffles. Sound exceptional

Can anyone tell me the actual weight of the supplied mufflers, I have seen numbers between 10kg and 18kg (18 sounds high). Maybe I need to take mine off and weigh them!

Greytop · **Reply #6 on:** June 03, 2020, 09:25:33 am

The stock mufflers are surprisingly heavy, I didn't weigh them when I took them off but there is a really significant difference between the stock and the Zard polished SS cans that I now have fitted. Incidentally I've removed the db reducers on my cans and they also sound 'characterful' to say the least

Haggisman · **Reply #7 on:** June 03, 2020, 10:22:55 am

They look good

Were you able to purchase direct from S&S or did you have to purchase through a dealer? The price you paid is significantly less than I have seen elsewhere.

Gremlinsteve · **Reply #9 on:** June 03, 2020, 07:35:10 pm

I bought them from my dealer

Dharmabum · **Reply #10 on:** June 03, 2020, 11:25:35 pm

The stock exhausts weigh close to 11kg in total. I replaced mine with an indian brand Gurswak which have been very good and weigh about half of the original exhausts.

Another for the S&S! Running without the decibel reducers at the moment, and they seem just the right amount of loud, with an amazing sound!

I don't remember the exact weights, but I did weigh them and the stock when replacing and it really was almost exactly half the weight for the S&S mufflers.

The stock silencers weigh a ton. The AEW silencers I had on my Interceptor weighed about half what the stock silencers did. The Ppwerage silencers I have on it now are a bit heavier than the AEW but they are far better quality (all stainless) and look much better.

Love my S&S mufflers without the baffles. I sound fast

Why are all these exhausts so cheap in India? They are over 3x the cost in the UK. Joke.

lpd73 · **Reply #16 on:** June 04, 2020, 06:20:01 pm

You are totally right but I think in UK or Europe they are so expensive because of the „Stamp“ on it.
May they don’t need a certification in India and in UK / Europe there’s nothing without certification etc.
I’m looking for a after market exhaust system as well but the one I like is about 1130,- Euro

Havea safe ride

That's only the 2 silencers, isn't it?. The whole thing including head pipes is closer to 18kg

Changed the entire exhaust including head pipes on my bike for the BS Performance exhaust. Saved me more than 12kg overall.

Anyone compared S&S with AEW? I am debating between the two - the only down side for the AEW is that they come from India, and not sure when I will actually receive it based on how slow the international mail deliveries has been...

I've only seen the S&S in person. Beautiful!

Chances are you could stick a tomato soup can for a silencer on a bit of water pipe and use it as an exhaust in a remote Punjabi or Bengali village and still get the bike registered, assuming you even bothered but I would not try it in Bundesrepublik Deutschland or even Boris' New Britain.

The AEW leaves that ugly joint between the head pipe and silencer exposed along with the stock little heat shield bracket, and the S&S has a built-in heat shield that covers it. The Powerage silencers are every bit as good as the S&S and at half the price, all stainless as well, and also have a neat built-in heat shield to cover that joint ... but no catalytic converter. https://www.flybhp.com/powerage-chrome-slipon-twin-exhaust-for-royal-enfield-interceptor-650-continental-gt-650.html

Greytop · **Reply #23 on:** June 05, 2020, 11:48:32 am

To be fair I think AEW do a version that covers the ugly joint as well.

Anyone compared the size and exhaust note difference between AEW TE102 and S&S exhaust

rowdyyates · **Reply #25 on:** June 05, 2020, 06:04:21 pm

I have just fitted a pair of silencers from ebay. They cost 69 pounds and fit perfectly. The sound is loud with the baffles in. I dare not take them out. For 69 pounds they are a bargain. I don't know how long they will last but for the price I can't complain. Another guy fitted them on YouTube. He has an Indian girlfriend. Winner.

One can go for cheaper version of AEW exhaust which is made from mild steel and is chrome plated
