Hi all. Yesterday I got this idea..
Let's make a list with all the exhausts that fit the XT600E and don't forget to tell which year model it fits! If you can also post some pictures and a website that sells them leave that info to! Contribute! :thumbup1: Vando :innocent: |
Marving

Why not,there can never be too much info here.
Im useing a Marving silencer. Bought it on Ebay one year ago. It´s stainless,and the fit was excelent just bolt on to a set of original Yamaha stainless down pipes. Sounds okey,and it´s not too loud (at least not for me) Marving home page: www.marving.com Oh and the bike is an 86 Tenere,with a 94 3TB engine. But They make the same exhaust for later models as well. cheers. Tom |

CRD Absolute Power 2 for my '02 model.Bolt-on 100% and Stainless.A bit noisy for little villages and requires upjetting but if you just pootle along you'll probably be ok without.Mines for sale (hint, hint) when i get back to Blighty as my insurance won't allow it.

lazer pro'duro can with motad downpipes on my '97 3TB, stainless throughout. ive heard the wheel/swingarm can hit the can on really rough roads, but i think thats rubbish as the two dont go anywhere near each other.

Laser Pro dura is hit by brake caliper!
Hi,
I have fitted lazer pro'duro cans with motad downpipes on both my 1988 3AJ Tenere and my partners 1991 XT600E. Both have been heavily loaded with all our gear for our big trip, with their standard rear shocks set to max preload and both have rear caliper shaped dents in the underside of their silencers. Another minus point for them is that although the outer case of the silencer is made of stainless steel, the inner baffles already had surface rust on them when I received them new. As a result I presume that the baffles are made of mild steel. If that is the case then they will rust away due to the exhaust waver vapour condensing in the silencer and other exhaust gasses dissolving in that water to make a corrosive liquid. Having said that, our systems have done about 60 000 miles and still seem OK, I assume that this is partly because the bikes are never used for short trips, so getting the silencer hot enough to drive off the condensation. On the plus side, no re-jetting of the carb's was required and they are quiet (possibly too quiet for some, there is a race can option) Mark |
Micron NOT good
Hello again,
Both my, and a friends Tenere came to us with micron exhaust systems fitted to them, and we both disliked them for the followqing reasons: Never managed to get the down pipes to seal properly to the silencer Very loud Silencer got very hot, melted side panel Poor engine running When I replaced mine with the Laser Pro-dura with motad down pipes my bike ran much better and the occasional loss of power problems disappeared. It may be that re-jettimg the carbs would have helped, but it would still be very loud for a long journey, and a pig to (almost) seal. Mark |
Hello All,
i had a micron system on my honda XL a few years back, was ok apart from a mounting bracket in the wrong place and the silencer internals collapsing after a few years use. I plan to get a Quill system for my 03 XT when funds allow. andy5600 |
My 02 came to me with a full stainless Predator system. Seals fine, but is a little on the noisy side. Not offensively so (to me...), but is louder than standard. Has apparently sailed through the MOT test last two times, will see what my tester has to say. It is all BS stamped.
It feels a touch lumpy / surgy below 3000 rpm, but not badly so. Hangs a little low from the top silencer mounts, but doesn't get too close to the side panel. Looks like it will last for ever, and from me, it's recommended.:clap: |
I have a race core Supertrapp,and it's very loud...but gives good power.I made the link pipe....and the frame brace as it's a '92.
Other than buying another muffler,I think I might attack the stock one and clear out all the garbage. |
Tightwad option
Hi people, some people who are as tight as I am may appreciate this suggestion.
The Yamaha SZR660 has a BS stamped can, stainless steel external and internals, it is Lafranconi (so slightly louder), slightly lighter (but not by much), needs no rejetting, is the correct diameter and only needs the manufacture of a simple bracket to fit. Owners of SZRs always fit aftermarket cans to make the back end look slightly less ugly, so the standard can can be picked up on e-bay quite cheap, mine cost £1.75. Also fits the XTZ660 (old model). |
Well, I started the thread and haven't posted yet....
I'm looking forward to get the stainless steel downpipes from KEDO - Performance Products and maybe the exhaust from Remus(one of the 2models they make) or the LeoVince X3 or a Laser Produro (BUT ONLY IF THEY HAVE ONE WITH THE NEW LOOK and not that DAKAR type)... :innocent: Vando! :cool4: |
Or maybe the GPR exhaust... but I do want one which is "homologated"....

What a total waste of money - Are you guys really proposing that I remove my existing standard exhaust system with one that costs an astounding £400 or so!!!!!!!
No thanks I prefer to make do with the standard set up. It is QUIET and is lawful. What is it with you guys who like going round upsetting people and waking people up in the early hours? All for the sake of getting an extra 6 bhp WOW what a performance boost! Yes I know it's an ugly, heavy lump of a thing but who cares it's a standard fitment. When the time comes to get rid of your bike you will put a lot of people off if it isn't completely standard. Personally I always like to see a standard bike which hasn't been tinkered with in any way... The only add on which makes limited sense to me is a standard lawful and quiet Stainless Steel system but even this will cost hundreds... In my opinion those silencers where the baffles can be taken out should be taken off the shelves. The law should be changed to make it an offence to sell these anti-social impliments. |
