Upgraded the exhaust on my RE Interceptor 650: Initial impressions

The only peeve I had was the exhaust sound, or, the lack of it. It should be a little loud.

BHPian rajeevsulu recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

My Interceptor is now 4 months and 4500 kms old. I am very happy with the motorcycle and it ticks all boxes for me. The only peeve I had was the exhaust sound, or, the lack of it. It should be a little loud. After reading up on the forum here, I decided to go with Power Rage exhaust system. They are based out of Coimbatore and I live in Erode. I opted for the short, brushed chrome finish system. It costs Rs. 16990-/ with free shipping and it reached me the next day. Fitting the system is very straight forward and is a diy job which takes 20 minutes maximum.

Initial Impressions:

• The exhaust is a little louder than stock, and, that is what I wanted.
• It weighs less than half compared to the stock ones.
• I did a 50 km run and i feel there is a slight increase in torque. I don't know whether it is my imagination.
• It looks much much better than the stock system.
• There is a massive difference in heat buildup. The stock system used to sizzle away. This feels much cooler.

I will update the thread as I ride more.
