This is good,wish more ppl could do this for different bikes. Most dont understand how dangerous loud noices are for your ears until they get a tinnitus 24/7..

I changed mine today. Had a hell of a time getting the original out but was finally successful. I found the original Wings set up a tad loud especially when rolling into campgrounds here in the USA. I could hear a difference with the silencer kit but it was far from dramatic. I'm happy with the results. It still has a nice rumble to to it. Great video. Thanks for posting.

I finally got my wings exhaust with the silent kit, I couldn't be happier, went straight from the stock to wings with the silent kit, since I already knew what I wanted , thanks to this video, can't tell the difference in volume, but the tone is way more pleasant, and the bike feels way less restricted, thanks for sharing this video, Now wings gives you the option of the silent kit right when you are ready to place your order. Cheers

Thanks for doing this! I have stayed away from end cans because I don’t like going louder than stock. This gave me just the option I was looking for! Im all about the serenity of a quiet bike and earplugs.

I, like you, came to the conclusion that many aftermarket silencers are just too noisy. But, I installed a titanium Wings slip-on this weekend with the silent kit option and I love it. It has a fruitier tone than the OEM silencer but remains the right side of antisocial on dB and with no cat it runs way cooler than stock too. Win - win.

Thanks for the instruction. Just inserted the quiet equipment and thanks to you it was a breeze.

Thanks for this vid! I have mine on order. The installation directions seemed simple enough but nice to have your version to refer to.

Put this on my Husky 701. Looking for better sound but not loud as i ride in the woods and back country trails. When it arrived I asked for the cone , based on your video. They told me they don't use the cone any longer. However great results. It is similar to stock, loudness but it does sound much better. It is also cooler and lighter than stock. Everyrhing I was looking for. Thanks for the video.

Hey, thanks for the video. I have this experience with Silent Kit: - with both the cone and the spark arrestor db killer installed the sound was even more silent than the factory stock exhaust and I did not liked it. - I have contacted Wings and asked if the spark arrestor db killer could be used without the cone and they confirmed there are no issues with that setup - so now I have just the db killer from the Silent Kit installed, exhaust is still quiet (almost as the factory pipe), but the sound is much nicer, more bass, more character. I would recommend to give it a try. If you (and your neighborhood) won't like it, you can always put the cone back. Cheers!

Great vid.. love my Wings exhaust great pipe and build quality

For my 701 it came with the standard one like you showed so I called and got the spark arrestor type (similar but different to yours), but not the cone, and it just muffled the sound a bit. Kept the nice note but not so crazy loud. Suitably impressed.... :)

Love it. Thanks for the shout out Codger... They are some interesting db figures. Only a tiny bit louder than stock is a huge win especially on the trails... Went for a spin today on the GF's 690 Duke WITH decat and akra WITH db killer and it's so very loud BUT, it's exhilarating and exciting. After I got back I thought i'd try it with the decat and stock pipe to see if it was any more sociable. Surprisingly it was louder and sharper than the Akrapovic. Might try and fashion a cone for her Akra.... On one hand there's the fun of twisty roads with a loud pipe but on the other there's that need for a more tolerable tone. This Wings setup might be the answer. I don't suppose you tried the 'quiet kit' db killer without the cone and with the cone but without the db killer?? Could be a little interesting experiment.

Excellent vid Codger thanks for the detail on the db at the end awesome vid cheers . I think ill just stick with the quitest db supplied when it arrives

Great video. Many thanks for sharing. I have a 2021 690 Enduro and like the quiet aspect of the OEM pipe, but I want to change it something less hot, lighter weight better looking, nicer tone, plus removal of the CAT. Your solution is very interesting and sounds awesome. Wings in Australia offer a 28 mm db killer with a curved metal spark arrestor (see pic on website), so I might try that first, then add a sound filter later if required. Cheers

In reality, the stock exhaust works fine on a 690. The internet howls about the heat, in real life its not any kind of big deal. All mufflers are hot dont touch them. The latest price I saw on a wings muffler for 690 was over 600.00 US. ! A muffler. I put one on my 890R, so cool. runs the same, makes the same amount of noise. 2 lbs lighter on a 470 lb bike. My 2021 690 enduro runs just fine with stock muffler, even sounds good.

Yeah, I have removed the dB killer from my Wings without even try it. It is awesome.

Nice Idles patch... big up the AFGang!

Your guitar looks beautiful. I bought a 2015 traditional les paul this week and love it.

Wow thank you very much. I dont like stock 690 sound but i dont like wings with the quieter insert its way too loud. Thannyou for showing measures as well it's very helpful for the community. Cheers from France.

Great video and I like the silence kit. do you know if you have to adjust the mapping if you install wings exhaust with full silence kit ? I assume not. I jave gasgas es 700 23yr er model so euro 5

Hello, Is this exhaust homologated/approved in EU/UK? If yes, then does it come with any papers to back this? Thank you!

Did you notice any difference in power/torque vs stock? I mean a smaller can with same sound level should equal more restriction.

Interesting video as I'm considering getting the same bike, but I think you got the dB scale a bit wrong. A change of 3 dB in sound pressure is perceived by a human ear as a really small change in sound "volume". A change of 10 dB is perceived as double (or half) the "volume".

Quik question mate. My 2021 clutch engages right at the end of the lever release is that what your is like. I watched ur slave cylinder change out and looks like yours engages close to the end of the lever release

thanks you

Did you notice a power reduction with the quiet insert kit. Thanks

perhaps rubbung that allen key on a magnet would magnetize it enough to hold the bolt to get it in there more easily?

Hello, my new friend. Wow, that's a very useful 🌹❤💗 motorcycle video. I'm glad to be your great channel friend 💘💖🌷❤ Have a lucky 💗💚💛 day 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙👌

f that neighbor 😂

Is the exhaust street legal in UK? No problem at all?

That’s so cool. Do you think the silent kit can cause damage to the engine, by restricting the fumes channel? Cheers

Hello Codger, I agree with you conclusions about neighbors and the whole environment you ride through with your bike but we are bikers and we want rumble coming out of the exhaust. Each and one us have our own surroundings to take care of. In my case I ride in Sweden and were I live I have miles and miles of gravel roads in forests and in an agricultural landscape open for me to ride on. But along the ways there are people living their daily social life with children, cats and dogs, and of course cows and horses and all other wild animals like mooses, deer, etc. I want more sound for the feeling of riding a bike but also for my own safety and for them who I meet along the way. My choice is to be loud and clear and heard in a distance and when I passes places where people live the revs is down to a minimum and for this I need a more open flow on the exhaust than a stock can provide but not so loud so they can hear me a mile before I reach them and a mile after I have passed. I´m searching for this compromise. Keeping the subject but leaving the 690... Recently I´ve upgraded where you downsized, i bought the new Ktm 1290 SAR after had having a 790 adv r since 2019 with an debaffled Akra. The new Euro-5 Akra exhaust for the 1290 has a whole different approach to keeping the sound low even if you take out the baffles. First you have a big cat on the mid pipe sticking in to the muffler about 10 cm, then there is a "wall" separating the lower part from the rest only connecting to the upper part via two internal "db-killers"(15mm/10 cm each)these inner pipes almost meets the traditional baffles(25/27 cm long)in the upper part of the muffler, a sort of sound chamber. So when you take out the outer long baffles you get a deep sonor sound and not signifikant louder than with the baffles in, just less sharp/metallic. They have in a sort of way secured a relatively low sound even if you modify the baffles. Previous on my 790 and 1190 r with a Remus Hexacone there was an considerably differens between baffles in and baffles out./Staffan

Hi Codger, quick question. I have picked up my 690 and Euro 2021, however find that the rear shock jolts/jars a lot over uneven surfaces on the road such as drain covers. I have re sprung for my weight although better still disappointing. How do you find yours?

Any noticeable power difference?

You loose torque already with the smaller dbkiller.....

Neighbors are overrated!

Your bike is great but I think that most of the time you are trying to solve problems that don't really exist
