    Did it make your exhaust sound extremely loud? I am contemplating on installing this headers pipe. The reason is that I commute on my GT and I do not want it giving me headaches.

    Greetings from Adelaide , Australia. After watching this video I purchased a set of these pipes for my ravishing red 650. Also added the DNA air filter. My goodness, these 2 additions brings out the animal in this thing. Absolutely growls now. I've watched a lot of your 650 videos recently and they are fantastic, thank you so much for putting in the effort to make them and help people like myself navigate through my 650 journey! Kind regards, Mick

Hence i was looking for some open headers paired with OEM cans. Which are just right kinda loud. And cops cant make out modded headers, they just look no different at all apart from colour.

    Another great WM Enfield vid. Good to hear the catless headers are doing the biz at town speeds. Maybe a future vid with some upper rev range performance/high speed testing please? I had a BoosterPlug when I fitted Akra headers to my RnineT, and it worked well. However, driveability and performance right throughout the rev range improved dramatically when I later removed the BP in favour of a remap instead. Perhaps a remap is something to consider for the future....plus it would make some great vid content for this super channel. Happy New Year Doood.

    Thanks for the vid, great as ever. Also happy new year. I have been waiting for the Tec version. I’m waiting to see how it compares to the 2-1 stinger. I feel that the 2-1 will offer better torque which is more important to me than BHP. That’s my basic understanding of the difference between a 2-1 and 2-2 but I’m no expert. I’m also drawn to the 2-2 as I love the look. In short I need to decide over looks or slight difference in performance characteristics Love a first world problem for the new year!

    I am curious to know whether these headers would pair well with a set of Emgo Cocktail Shakers? My buddy has a set on a Triumph and they were a wonderful upgrade that not only provided a bit of performance but gave a very deep voicing to the engine that commanded intrigue when you rolled by. I am unsure what headers he used but if the Hitchcocks will mate up with those Cocktail shakers my lands will that be a thunderous symphony. I have always enjoyed the sound of a British Twin with a set of pipes that allowed it to sing like a Robert Plant at a Led Zepplin concert. In my opinion, next to an American V-twin and a Ducati V-twin, it is the most aggressive, menacing, pulse jumping, and smile cracking engine sound on the planet; I see these different exhausts as just amplifiers for the front man at the show.

    Yes they are. The stock pipes have a chrome outer pipe with a narrower inner section. The Hitchcocks pipes are single wall. The exhaust on this bike is pretty simple so I wouldn’t worry about it. Hitchcocks have tested their pipes on their Dyno so maybe ask them about their findings.

    Go for non brushed as you can polish them easier. If you want yours to stay a nice straw colour, you’ll have to polish them back to shiny steel from time to time. It won’t take long for them to go dark brown or even blue.

    Good morning! One thing to keep in mind when using straight exhaust pipes without catalytic converter or db killer and which is very beneficial to the engine itself is the reduction in engine operating temperature obtained by performing this modification. I have found on my 1993 Suzuki Bandit 400 that the idle temperature is about 200° C, 392°F, after 10 minutes started and on my car, a catalyzed 2021 Abartg 595 Competizione, it reaches about 380°C, 716°F. I have not been able to check the exhaust temperature of the bike when running, but in the car it reaches well over 800°C, 1472°F. By installing an exhaust system without catalytic converter we get the engine to work at a much lower temperature, and that is always positive. Greetings with the middle finger of my hands to Greta Thunberg and the globalists of Agenda 2030.

Using benchmark depreciation of 25% over two years, a stock Street Twin will cost you £2125 and an RE £1375. All my aftermarket parts can either be re-used or sold separately. So let’s say I get 70% of my £3k investment back. At the end of two years, I have lost £2275 and Mr Speed Twin has lost £2125 (if the bike is 100% stock). Mr Speed twin has also paid more in insurance, servicing and fuel. With that in mind, my losses are in line with expectations.
