Title: Opinions on Jardine exhaust system?
Post by: Jblauvelt on September 03, 2011, 06:19:34 PM
I'm looking for slip on exhausts, and i stumbled upon a Jadine full exhaust kit for a decent price. Has anyone heard them in person? And if anyone can post a video of how it sounds thatd be great.

Also if you have any recommendations for exhausts let me know.

Much better quality than OEM, that's for sure.

I have 22K miles on mine, needed repacking and sleeve about 1000 miles ago. Sounds pretty good, engine runs quite a bit better with one of these, a K&N and a rejet. But then, engine runs quite a bit better just with the rejet by itself...  :icon_mrgreen:

I have no regrets, glad I got it. The OEM muffler is atrocious, made of the cheapest pig iron. Sneeze on it and it rusts.

I've never heard anything bad about the Jardine system. From what I recall, it should perform just a little better than the V&H system. Yoshimura full system is said to make the best power, but it's out of production now. I doubt the difference is actually huge.

I have the jardine rt-1, with reset, and kn filter. Love it. Sounds great I have my bike apart now so cant show you. It is starting to get a little discoloration on the headers. think I'm going to paint it latler in year. But in all great update. How much is the one your looking at? Got mine new for $389. Shipped.

I just put a Scorpion Ti slip-on on my bike. It was easy and looks freaking great. The sound is unbleatable. You-Tube does not do any of these cans justice.
