CBR650F Stock exhaust de-cat

[schmoosmith]

Hi all,

Just a quick post to let you all know about my goings on today. After mulling over many aftermarket exhausts and not really liking the look of any of them I decided to cut open the stock exhaust and de-cat it. I’ve attached pictures to show all the process. I haven’t fitted to the bike yet as I only just finished!

A quick little update:
Fitted to the bike this morning. Definitely sounds better at idle without being obnoxious. Test will be later when I take it out.

Another update: Took the bike out and it feels a lot better. A bit more responsive and definitely sounds A LOT better. Overall definitely worth the effort but I will be putting on a proper aftermarket when money allows.

Hi there,

Do you still have this exhaust? If so, how is it holding up?

Is there a change you can make another video of the sound?

Thanks in advance!!

I have a used 2018 akrapovic complete system on my bike -50% than new price sounds the same.
