Totally. Hard to capture sound fully, but is a game changer!
The sound comparison at the end did it for me. I just bought my first bike ever, this year. Maybe next summer, or the one after, once I have some experience I'll finally get my dream bike (Indian Scout Bobber). Great video.

I swore i didn't want a new exhaust on my 2023 scout rogue. A year later i have the performance air filter and i just got the freedom performance slip on's and i absolutely love it. I wish i could get the 101 but i still love everything about the rogue. It still has enough power than I'll ever need for the street. Thanks for the video it was good to see and hear what the 101 sounds like with a new slip on.

excellent video, thanks for this, sounds great! just brought a Scout Bobber Limited + home today and first thing that has to go is that "torpedo" lookin' muffler.

I just ordered this in black for my sport scout limited. Couple questions before I tackle the install if you could please. How much of that bolt did you cut off and what tools were used in doing so? Secondly where did you get the black end cap to put over it? Still happy with this slip on??

@@cobras559 I used a metal hacksaw and cleaned it up with a deburring bit. Cannot recall how much but should have taken a little more as was still a bit of positioning to take off. You will see how much extra you have when you get to that part. The black cap came with the slip on from S&S. Enjoy 🤘

Thanks! You will easily find the clamp, but it is not fixed by any screw/hex bolt, must be a tab release kind of deal or maybe even single use clamp, I just could not get access to solve it. Bigger issue is without shortening the bolt and having a stubby hex key, you will need the headers off! I was walking my Indian dealer through all this on Tuesday as they have not had to do them yet!
Do you know how many decibels it is now? Ear plug worthy?

As stated by Indian/Polaris engineers, the 2in1 style is due to the previous model's exhaust system blocking access to bolts around the rear wheel.
