Let's make a list!! - What exhausts fit the XT600E
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!

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

I have the predator full stainless system (road legal) on my 2003 XT. I am not bothered about performance or weight saving, just wanted to have a rust fee alternative to the original system which is a rusty pile of crap. It sounds and looks miles better than the original and I was amazed at how heavy the original system was when I removed it. I would not get to excited about weight saving and performance on the XT as that is not what the old thumper is about, if I wanted that I would buy a cr250 or somehing like. The predator system is really nice and well worth the money, I do think I need to sort out the jetting though because she does tend to backfire sometimes.

Anyone know if CRD Absolute Power 2 is street legal in the UK?

Well I decided to bite the bullit and buy the Arrow, it arrived today, only 17 days all the way from Italy to my front door, I bought it from an Ebay seller called EM Lineamoto. total cost was $ 424.59 Canadian.
This pipe is nothing short of WICKED !! the quality is superb with beautiful welds and it fits perfect, I've heard Yamaha even contract these guys to build pipes for their bikes in Europe.
The sound with the silencer installed is not noticably louder than the stock exhaust, but much deeper, without the silencer the sound is absolutely HEAVENLY !!! when I fired the bike up I thought I'd died and gone to heaven, the idle sounds amazing with a really nice Thump Thump Thump Thump, when you rev it it's LOUD ! Sweet

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.

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.

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.

Lightbulb 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).
