Have Werkes on mine R3r, sound is indeeeed loud and so the emotions. Friend of mine bought for his R3gt Dominator exh. deeper sound, very good alternative for half the price. fits to GTs only🤞
Great vid bro. I just ordered the IXIL. Waiting for it to come in. Your instructional video on how to remove the stock unit was spot on. Looking forward to doing the job in my garage. Wish I had a lift! Lol Once I get it on, I’ll post up a a link to the vid. I know the IXIL isn’t as loud as the Werkes, but I like the way it finished off the bike a little more on the left side and the nice carbon fiber touches tthat come with it. sound wise, though? I don’t think anything can beat the Werkes.
Good job mate, I put a werkes on my 2021 R3GT, saved soooo much weight, the bike self tuned and sounds wonderful, not like the sewing machine sound of the originals. Also put on without DB killers, sounded awful, not a nice noise, raspy and hurt!! with the DBs in sounds fantastic, best mod I have done, now for the re-tune as only gives 65% of power at full throttle! and can easy handle another 1000RPM before redline. To get the best from these bikes on the tight twistys you need to totally dominate it and take the bull by the horns, Ive seen too many videos of dudes saying it handles badly, they must be sportbike riders which want a delicate touch, the Rocket is totally different. Be safe, get to know the bike first then it will really come alive, enjoy!!
@adams.7488 according to their website... *NOTE* This exhaust is compatible with the Small Exhaust Inserts (part #WX125). Remember that it requires two inserts.
I posted the quick video of the foot pegs. But I have to do the garage cleanup today and will go through more detail of the process. I'll try to get the video edits done and posted tonight
Ok. I just put my Werkes on. Didnt try to use old washer. So sat for a week until new washer came in. Slid new washer all the way into werkes recess, and mates that to hard pipe with clamp. Did not reuse old part or gasket. Just one gasket on werkes and done. That's how you mated it correct? I bought db killers (small db-k fit these). Waited another week. :)
I have a 24 rocket storm. I love the werks exhaust look, but I dont like to be "that guy with the super loud bike". I actually got compliments from my neighbours that they sont hear me leaving or comming home. That being said , she can be loud stock, but if you handle her nicely, she is a sweet little kitten. That is what i love about this bike. She can be so sweet , but if you touch the throttle with gusto, she becomes a tiger.
@SeadogSeven I checked another video , the one where you put the extra pegs in the front position. I was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago. Nice to know its doable :)
I will be getting the werks exhaust for my rocket 3gt storm once i get the bike as well. However, i will be using the DB killers with them to keep the volume down a bit. I like the sound of the exhaust, just not the high db level of it. I have my harley with a d&d boarzilla exhaust thats loud and its starting to kill my ears as i get older lol.
I'm curious how much Db killers would help. I like the sound but i don't want it that loud. I also hate stock sound. need something in between but can't find anything. I put a M4 on my XSR900 and its SO loud. Sounds awesome but on long rides, or trying to listen to music, pack chat etc, is rough. After longer rides my ears feel weird.
I don't have the db killers and from what I've found online, it only dampens about 3dbs. I use ear plugs for my rides and I actually hear my music better and without the wind noise (except at speeds over 60mph, there is some wind noise). I use the PackTalk Edge to communicate with my brothers and I can still hear them, as well.
when emmisions stop being an after thought to these companies maybe they'll start producing an the catylist incorporated in the pipe weight saving an get rid of the afterbirth looking monstrosity I know it can be done
I just bought a '25 Rocket R 2 weeks ago. Even pre break in this thing is incredible to ride. I can't wait to open her up and start licking. She's a fantastic wife. Her name is Bernadette. She makes me feel like Steve Mcqueen. I don't like the loud exhausts on my vehicles, but I love hearing them on others.
Beautiful! People say "loud pipes save lives" but no person ahead of you is going to hear it. My validation for "loud pipes save lives" is for keeping animals from crossing my path. I've seen deer run away in the fields as soon as they hear me coming.
Thank you for your help!!

That's awesome! Can't wait to see the video.

I totally agree with needing the tune. I love this bike.
Which DB killer does it take? Small or large? Thank you.

have Werkes, tuned, different when unrestricted, sound WW1 double decker plane, just what my friends say🤷🏼👍
@mariansokolik336 nice
Ive got the Zard exhaust on my 2020R... Love it! Volume is perfect and the tone is just right
Nice
just found your channel - great vid thanks! Looking forward to the highway pegs getting re-fitted!

Thanks. It makes a HUGE difference in the riding experience during long road trips.

I went on a ride with a group on Saturday and i thought my bike was louder than the others. 🤣
How is the high temp paint holding up on the logo? Seems like a less expensive alternative to ceremic coating the slip o.
It's still holding well. No flaking, peeling, etc. I cleaned off the logo paint (it came off easily) and used a red scotchbrite pad to scuff it up.

@@SeadogSeven I guess il give it a try. I had similar results with my XSR: ruclips.net/user/shorts9y88hA6hVeM
nice job ... sounds and looks sweeeet ... did it need any changes with mapping? ... air fuel mix adjust?
No, it's a straight swap. It's a great compliment to my TuneECU changes.
Im hoping they do this pipe for the rocket storm..has two 02 sensors..
Oh crud. I would think they can make that update fairly easily. I hope they do
Ok, I am ignorant but I have to ask: what is that round black thing above the display?
LOL ..just my QuadLock for my phone
@@SeadogSeven I told you I was ignorant
@jimanders9971 Nah bro. You're good
where did you get your fender delete? ps, I just ordered my slip ons....stainless
It's the Corbin fender
Hello, where did you get the license plate holder?
It came with the Corbin fender
... But I had to paint it matte black myself. Corbin only has the chrome version
Esthétiquement c'est plus beau !! Dommage que l'on ait le contrôle technique en France... J'aurais peut-être changé les miens..
Awwww....that's terrible! Sorry to hear that about the inspections.

My brother mentioned to me that NC was supposed to be doing away with emissions checks in 2025....hopefully
