I installed the Emgo Reverse Cone Universal slip on

I'm not sure how I feel about it yet but I figured I'd share here in case anyone wanted a very cheap but still decent sounding aftermarket option to some of the big(ger) names like Arrow and Delkavic out there. For $40 shipped from an Ebay seller, I figured I couldn't go wrong. See the video below for sound comparison VS stock and no muffler as well as a brief explanation on how it fits.





If you don't care to watch the video, to make this work you'll need the original hardware w/ reducers that come with the Emgo exhaust, an 1 3/4" to 1 5/8" reducer pipe, and an extra exhaust clamp. I had to special order the reducer at O'Reilly's but a local shop may have something in stock, though I didn't have any luck.

Overall I like the sound. It's not too loud below 3k RPM and won't p'o the neighbors on an early morning commute. It is very loud after that, however, but not as loud as other's seem to be. The video's don't do it justice in my opinion. It's a much bass-ier sound compared to stock.

I personally feel like it made the bike feel a little anemic but that could just be that I'm really used to quiet power VS loud power if that makes sense? I only took it out for a few miles so I'll have to have some more spirited rides to see if she really did take a hit to performance or not. Of note other than the small "backfire" in the video, you only get the standard burbles even on harder downshifts. I didn't have any issues with backfiring during riding or anything like that. I also might run this until I can save up a bit more for something actually designed for this bike.

Hi, DJM - I am in the market for a bit more sound from my '13. I've drilled the end plate so much there's hardly any of it left, but I didn't get much more sound at all, only a bit of burble on downshifts. I had a middle '90s Nighthawk 750 that was 4-2, and I took the snooters out and cut about 1.5 in. off of them, put it back together and it sounded sweet! Can you make a vid with the bike accelerating away, then do a U turn and come back, with some downshifting? I think the engine has to be under a load to really know how an exhaust sounds. Thanks for your time and effort on this!

Thank you very much for the explanation and video. Please update with your feeling on power loss after done riding. I really want to get a slightly louder, bassier slip-on, but can’t justify $500 for it this year. This is pretty appealing.
