Interceptor 650 Project Ep.5 - New exhaust fitting, road test & sound comparison!
Рет қаралды 32,270
Күн бұрынThe Interceptor 650 project has been waiting for a new exhaust for some time and itas finally here.
Any aftermarket exhaust is likely to be much lighter than the stock system, but I also wanted something quite minimalist in terms of looks.
Having seen the Sold Out Motorcycles Short Shot exhaust on one of their custom builds, it fit the bill for me. But I had to wait for a production run to finish before I could get one.
It's a lovely piece of engineering and it's also designed and manufactured by hand here in the UK.
So in this video, I'll take you through the fitment process (super easy) but more importantly, I'll compare the sound compared to stock, and I'll also show the very healthy weight savings that are gained over the stock Interceptor 650 system.
You can find the exhaust here - www.soldoutmotorcycles.com/pr...
Since making and releasing the video, Sold Out has reduced the price to £795 which includes delivery within the UK

@@DaleMt09sp I agree that the pricing is steep. There's a company that sells 304 Stainless Exhaust Parts in the Uk and it looks like you could buy all the components for £300 or less, retail. It's not a one piece custom bent, appears to be standard parts welded together. Looks are a personal thing, but I prefer the look of the original exhaust, I don't like these cut down exhausts.

It’s a low volume production made by hand in the UK. I think the price reflects that. The end can isn’t and off the shelf item so you couldn’t buy the components for £300. As with any product you have to factor in production costs, development and some kind of margin. Appearing to be and the reality are different things

Enjoying this series, and the pipes are a great addition. I think RE missed a trick by not having an Interceptor with a scrambler/FT vibe. Cooperb do a Desert Sled upgrade, and BSA had a scrambler build of their new Gold Star on their stand… so there’s an appeal to this style of bike. The manufacturers need to start appealing to a younger generation of riders. You’ll get a few grumbles from older riders tho 😂

Definitely a fan of the exhaust, sounds just about right. You can hear the engine noise but it's not just absolutely deafening and looks significantly better. Bikes like this need this style of pipe. My only problem would be the price. I do appreciate the fact it's a British business, but the Trident exhaust I was looking at for my Triumph Sprint ST 1050 was half the money from a British company with about triple the welding and materials needed. But, hey, that's just the cheapskate in me talking

RBB WORLD (on YT) opened both ends of a stock exhaust.. it sounded unbelievably good. Your exhaust sounds not unlike a Bertoni motors (YT channel) where he simply removed the mufflers and ran the headers. Loud but not much louder than your shortys. A 2-1 tec stinger might also look good for an urban scrambler vibe.

It just looks like the silencer is missing, which effectively it is. Silly price, not my cup of tea aesthetically.

Yep, it sounds a bit louder on the video, but it’ll be interesting to see what the baffles will do to it
@frankrock3965 Жыл бұрын
Bit too loud !! Would annoy a lot of folks. Use baffles.

Sorry it looks and sounds terrible

No need to apologise, it’s not for you and that’s OK
@alanbarnstable6414 Жыл бұрын
Sorry, but in my opinion - far to expensive, far to noisy, and looks horrible !

Thanks for letting me know

I don't understand why you're recommending pipes that will be illegal in the next few months and are, in any case, anti-social and annoying. Strange vid.

An equally strange comment to make, each to his own and all that Clive. I watch plenty of videos where I might not like the content, but I just think that’s not for me and move on. It’s not even that loud
@julianwhite4855 Жыл бұрын
I agree, it is antisocial and the looks and sound just doesn’t suit the bike. The comment was a valid one.

Keep your hands on the bars, it's not clever and it looks stupid! Please
@mancavemoto Жыл бұрын
That’s an odd comment to make on this video. I tend to talk a lot with my hands, not trying to be clever and it hardly looks stupid. If you’re not comfortable taking your hands off the bars, that’s fine but that doesn’t mean you can project that onto others.

Looks are subjective of course, but the old system looks a lot better than the new one in my view.

Of course and I do like the traditional twin pipes, the stock ones are just too big, heavy and shiny. The short shots were part of the final look plan, so they look a bit odd with everything else being largely stock

I'd simply just remove the end cans and fit shortie finnisher cans instead.. total cost £60

Not quite that simple, but thanks for the suggestion
