Exhaust systems can either serve to greatly increase the overall performance and image of your bike, or they can serve to hamper both of these drastically. There are several things that a good exhaust system should do, and there are several reasons to make sure that your exhaust system is in good order before going on a ride. Some people have this mindset that says “ well, the exhaust will escape whether or not I have a good exhaust system, right? So, lets just ride!…”. This could not be further from the truth.
A good rider recognizes that exhaust systems play not only a great role in engine performance, but in how the engine sounds when the bike is being ridden. Your exhaust system should offer good power, tone, and dependability. Your tailpipes should be tuned for optimum efficiency, and you should have a fully functional muffler that keeps the noise of your engine manageable. Even if you would rather have your bike louder, mufflers are made specifically for this purpose. The answer is not to go without one!
When you get a new bike, there are several things to check for to make sure that your exhaust system is up to par with your needs. First of all, you need to check for serious rust damage. If your exhaust system is damaged by rust or other damage, then it is time to replace it (or at least replace the damaged parts). Make sure that there are no holes in it. Also, make sure that the muffler is intact, and inspect it for rust or other damage. Make sure that the system is readily attached and not hanging loose. Make sure that the screws and/or bolts holding it in place are secured tightly and not stripped or pulled out.

If it is time to replace your exhaust system, consider going with oval carbon, oval titanium, or oval stainless for the slip on systems. Also, you will probably want to go with polished stainless steel end caps for your mufflers.
A good exhaust system will greatly increase your bike’s performance. Not only that, but your bike will sound amazing. Just wait until you rev it up after changing out your exhaust system… you will undoubtedly feel the difference the moment it fires up. There is nothing as cool as feeling your bike rumble beneath a brand new exhaust system.
