801 Slip-on / exhaust list

[blue_monkey]

This is the result, I made a simple test bracket out of an aluminum plate, the distance between the middle of the holes is about 40-42mm. Using m8 screws and locknuts.
Tomorrow I am going to change the screw on the silencer bracket to a bit longer and add a washer so it’s the custom bracket is more straight.

Didn’t film the sound, but god damn is loud at low rpm’s and then when revving it feels to be less loud or something

It follows the lines of the bike perfectly.

Here is the second slip-on I ordered, ordered the muffler and link pipe separately. The fitment was kinda perfect with the included z bracket, except for being in the middle of the logo

Today I testfitted the Duke 890 Remus NXT...
In my opinion it fits the 801 very good; I do like it a lot!!!

Almost the right angle for the tip of that exhaust. still looks good tough

 

[zeno]

Still with all the exhaust tested, none of them look as good a fit as the original. The remus nxt comes close.
Thinking of maybe blackening my original and doing that sound mod.

Here also a short sound-clip of the Duke 890 NXT exhaust / with the stock Remus db-killer.

@Tom, looks like the Remus may warm up your inner leg a little

@Tom, looks like the Remus may warm up your inner leg a little

The inner of the leg should be OK, but the heel of the riding boot might be a problem when I'm with the toes on the footpegs; that's why I've added the heat shield to the link pipe (for testing it); stock it comes without a heat shield.

Two pics of some parts to fabricate a custom made db-killer that will fit the aftermarket mufflers and an adapter to fit the mufflers to the 800NK link pipe; and a first mockup of a db-killer in one of the mufflers.

 

[Tom]

Today I removed the db-killer of the Duke 890 Remus NXT; the screw and the db-killer were spot welded.
The db-killer is way shorter than the 801 Remus db-killer; maybe I will shorten it even a tad more.
Here some pics and another sound-clip; without the db-killer.

Sounds good!

@Tom what are you doing with all these 801 exhausts, tail kits etc? Are you planning on opening an online store?

 

[Stevepilen]

Did anyone get the akrapovic?

If so what is it like.

Tom, I am sure I speak for everyone when I say I appreciate and enjoy all these exhaust reviews, and even say I'm a bit jealous!

 

[Tom]

@tooth_dr thanks; to me some tinkering and tweaking is always part of the fun.

I recently fitted the Arrow muffler. I struggled to find any reviews of how it sounded that helped me decided so I took a gamble. It paid off. Thought I’d share as may help someone in my position.

Fit and finish: 10/10
Looks: For me 10/10 but that is entirely subjective. One of the design elements I love about this pipe is that the baffle is invisible and doesn’t take away from the open pipe look.
Performance: can’t really comment as I didn’t have the bike for three months and when I got it back I fitted the pipe immediately so I can’t remember how it rode before. But it feels great - no flat spots - pulls hard.
Sound:
Again this is subjective but I feel I should give context as well for this to be useful.
I have always found myself with bikes where I get a baffled pipe and find them pointlessly quiet when baffled (plus the baffles ruin the look usually) and too loud with baffle removed. With the stock exhaust this was the case. I removed the baffle but found it awful - a drone that made my brain explode on anything over a 10 min ride.
As mentioned above, the great thing about the Arrow that appealed to me was that the baffle is recessed and therefore doesn’t ruin the look. The baffle is removable if you’re willing to do some dremelling of the little welds holding it in. Arrow clearly expects this as once the weld are removed, there is a threaded hole and bolt supplied to hold the baffle in if you wish to refit it.
I fully expected to remove the baffle to at least modify it but I’m glad I didn’t bother because the sound with it in is perfect! It is surprisingly loud / deep for a baffled pipe but Is not actually loud and I definitely don’t want it louder. As it stands it has a lovely deep growl and lots of lovely pops on deceleration.
So I hope anyone considering this pipe finds this useful.
