This Is The Best Sounding Exhaust For Interceptor 650, But Costs Rs 37,000

- I think I have tried most of the slip-on exhausts that are available for the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and the Continental GT 650, except a very few that are available in India.
From AEW, Red Rooster, Gursewak, Swagman to even S&S - I have heard and ridden most slip-on exhausts in the market over the last year or so. (On my personal Interceptor 650 I run a 2x1 full system SS Moto exhaust, but that is a different story altogether).
What I am about to make is probably a very big statement - I think I have finally chanced upon a slip on exhaust for the Royal Enfield twins that sounds the smoothest, bassiest and just the nicest, irrespective of price.
Lextek is a highly reputed UK brand that has finally entered India with their stainless steel exhausts for the 650 twins.
The exhausts come with lifetime warranty and are just a sight to behold. The craftsmanship on them is breathtaking - from the finish to the welding, it looks premium.
But it better do: After all, it costs Rs 37,000.
Now, I understand that this is a lot of money, especially when the competition sells for under Rs 20,000. But mind you, this exhaust is not built here and gets imported to India, attracting customs duty.
So, there is a reason behind the cost.
I will soon do a detailed video on the exhaust where I'll record a fly-by and a first person riding account.
The best thing I find about this exhaust is the smoothness it offers when you decelerate. There are zero deceleration pops. That's the mark of a dyno-tested and developed product.
The exhaust is only available at Speedmonks Performance Centre, who are the only authorised distributors of Lextek in India, as far as I know.

Let me know in the comments below what you think of this exhaust and whether the price is worth it.
As always, thank you for giving me your time. I hope you have a great day. Cheers
Out of all the youtubers I've watched you have the most aerodynamic nose.
Hahahhahaha
That's an increased BHP or two.
That for active airo on bike 😂
Added advantage "you should consider this as well nxt you do top speed runs Abhinav" 🤣🤣🤣
I bet thats the secret to his Interceptor’s top speed!
6:32 did anyone notice the flame spitting? That's insane!
harsha okin yes it did
Yeah, out of the right side. Is that a good thing? Bad?
Yes
Yes.
Yes
Even with stock exhaust, this bike sounds awesome. Especially when the engine gets hot and starts crackling and popping.
@Saptarshi Chaudhuri custom exhausts are way too loud for my taste. But, I saw one exhaust in a video, I think it was AEW, which had a nice sound, not too flashy or loud. Right now, I am going for a wind shield, a handle bar Riser and grip puppies.
I am happy with the stocks. Some people do like to keep the motorcycle as it is.
@@aqua4760 Finally somebody said it. I'm also not that type of guy who likes to "customise" the bike. Bus jaisi bhi h, waisi hi sahi h. 🤗
@@vaibhavsingh471 great mods on the go , also try emgo muffler , sounds mind-blowing check @ icequeen pov. 😀
That means its running too lean lol
4:57 This is what you came for.
6:32 that back fire 🔥, the exhaust sound is bad ass even with db killers
05:00 - Lextek (baffle off) | 06:18 - Lextek (baffle on)
6:31 ❤🔥
5:06 The seat on the black interceptor behind abhinav is amazing. 😍
Getting my beast delivered in 3days, 1st work i do is changing exhaust, i was planning for Power Rage, now definitely i need this1, rewinded and listened for 5times, just for tat sound 👌👌
This guy here knows his shit well. Awesome review, short and crisp. Subscribed! Waiting for more mod reviews.
I will not regret paying 37k out of my pocket for this for sure
oh, great exhaust note after the swap. If anything, the Db killer made it bloody louder and also throws out some flames. Great work.
6:33 there is back fire 🔥
And the aew gives a more complimentary look to the motorcyle (TE102)
Bassy plus crispy sound, rare combo 👍
Why does it sound like the bike got louder when you added the DB killer? Is it just because the camera guy was more directly behind the bike and we hear both pipes?
37k of pops and crackles and flames, worth it id say
5:30 that smile on your face 😈
I was taken aback.
Oh my gosh it sounds like ghost rider's bike😍
Love it having them fitted this month to my New Interceptor
Best bike videos. Thankyou. no nonsense, no stupid stories or music - apart from the "piped" music!
Thanks Paul
Even we can Just make it to stage 2 n put the red rooster silencer it will definitely sound like it, they are as long called pops n bangs sound once u do stage 2
Good to see the slumber party shirt.
really love the way you speak accent and all... great video
Soon it will cost you more than that when cops will catch you .
That doesn't make any sense. For cops to catch you, it'd have to be imported illegally, and if that was the case, import duties wouldn't have been levied on it.
@@blindmercenary6323 thats not true
@@blindmercenary6323 can't help if u didn't got it.😪
@@blindmercenary6323 I'd assume you're not from India. Using aftermarket exhausts is illegal in India so in case the cops catch you, a heavy fine will be levied. And unfortunately Royal Enfield bikes are the first to be caught.
@@hagarthehorrible1391 😂😂😂😂😂
He clearly misunderstood it😂😂😂
Great vid Abhinav, keep em coming! Exhausts sound awesome without the baffles.
You've earned a new Subscriber👌🏿
🙏
That is some growl without the DB killers. And that crackle.
Exhausts looks short and sweet but, by the look of holding bracket it seems like these are made to fit other Motorcycles too.
Not sure about that.
Bro that flame at 6:31 was supa lit🔥🔥 dang
How about going even crazier? Turbocharger?
No, thanks :)
Third start with baffles I saw Bhai's face it was like "🙄🙄🙄hmmm"
Is there any exhaust in the market for 650 twins which does not exceed the limt of 85 db set by the government?
Unlikely.
At 06:32, there is a flame coming out of the right exhaust.
37,000 for this amazing sound! I think it's a great deal albeit one has to watch out for cops, they have become quite strict these days. Getting caught will be such a bummer! But sweet sound! Looking forward to a flyby video next! #dopplereffect 👍
Sure thing, bro.
@@abhinavbhatt can i get ua number bro?
Sounds great but I think even the closed environment of a garage adds to the bass.
I've put in AEW and very happy with the sound of it. Plus makes the bike around 7-8kgs lighter
I've used AEW, Red Rooster, Gursewak and a few others. This really does sound better to me.
SOUNDS GREAT!!
Gursewak is dope bro💖💖that Deep bass🥰🥰
Hi, did you manage to do fly-by video on this slip-on? Cheers 🍻
Good to see you sir😎
Hi Kush.
@@abhinavbhatt you rocks
Love your videos bro vey informative.keep it up👍
Oh hell yeah. Freaking brilliant
Back fire with db killer 🔥 !! Are you kidding me !!
Happens in my AEW TE201 too... Sounds mind boggling.
That was awsome. Any suggestions for classic?
Did the right side exhaust spit fire omg👌
Honestly it sounded like my grandpa's fart! 😂 Need to stand beside it while recording..
Cool grandpa you got there.
Issue is the poor quality mic. Must be sounding good in actual.
I was wondering if your grandpa backfires too
Some quality comments
@@Divyesh_Sinha both are dead. Maybe backfiring from heaven! 😂
Video title does full justice - indeed the best sounding pipes!
Hey abhinav how much is your exhaust? The 2 into 1 in your interceptor. It sounds really rad
Rs 22,000. Sold by SS Moto.
I have heard of lextek in your reply to one of my previous comments. Anyways that's a sweeeeeeeet sounding unit!!
I don’t mind the price but hate the the customs,thank you Mr Abhinav for all your informative videos I’ve watched all of them. I’m getting mine next week.
Congratulations.
Lextek are Chinese made stuff. Just because they have an address in UK, doesn't mean they are made in UK- big difference. It's the usual Chinese stuff flogged with a UK/US address arrangement, although I have to admit Lextek quality is better than other Chinese generic exhausts(have seen thse in person). They seem to cater to the affordable segment in the UK and elsewhere which is possible because cheap Chinese foundries are used. Of late this kind of model is getting popular as Brits don't really like to slap on Chinese stuff on their bikes, so selling them parts over Alibaba is difficult. Some Chinese concerns simply register a UK company to have a UK address and then ship over stuff from China and sell it off this way. Lextek seem to be either owned or have some sort of collab with Lexmoto as well which is a Chinese motorcycle company mostly making bargain 125 cc commuters quite popular with delivery riders in UK. As expected not stellar repo on build quaality and longevity though. There is a link to Lexmoto website from the Lextek website-make of it what you will.
www.lextekproducts.com/exhausts
Also to understand that it's a Chinese concern under the hood, one can take look at company house Uk website(it's UK gov website where companies' info is publicly available)- Lextek brand is owned by Llexter Ltd,(just check bottom right of Lextek website) so just type it in and this will came back about the persons associated with the business. All company officers' names read Chinese to me, although they can be British citizens :)
find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08878867/officers
I am not saying Lextek products are bad and shouldn't be bought, just that they shouldn't be called UK made like this poster is saying. I'd any day prefer a Gursewak or an AEW over Chinese made stuff -although these could be made in China for al we know :) but at least an Indian company gets a cut as well- or if I have money to burn then may be an S&S or other top shelf stuff.
Btw some exhausts which are indeed made in UK are these-
Scorpion - Think they are based in Derbyshire. They make top shelf stuff, have used one on my CBR and it had good build quality
Beowulf- They are Kent based and manufacture everything on site, not far from London
Blueflame , MTC(Mx torque Company), Pipewerx etc.
These are all pretty small business(probably barring Scorpion) which do not have the scale and engineering facilities like a Yoshi or Akra, but the prices of course reflect that. If you reach out some of these personally over email, they'd probably make you one(obviously generic) for you bike as well.
PS: Nothing against the poster, although probably should have done a bit more research. I do enjoy your videos, have been watching a lot of these GT/Interceptor videos as just booked a 2021 GT650 rocking red :)
Thank you for this detailed post. I did not know that Lextek is made in China.
Superb sound 👌👌👌
Can we also get to see and hear S&S exhaust for 650twins on your channel?
Sure. I'll try to shoot something Sunday.
@@abhinavbhatt thank you sir
Thats my dream bike you take the review of this good luck 👌👌👌👍👍❤❤❤❤
Well these bad boys are worth every penny.
Its like the tiger from Sundarban is roaring 😍😍
With the db killers installed, I prefer the sound of the AEW to this one.
Great content 👍
Brother, looks like you have already explored various ways to make interceptor better.
By any chance, did you get a chance to try on or know about some good quality durable alloys, that can shoe up this beast 🙂 ?
Please share your knowledge on alloys if possible for interceptor.
The stock pipes sound fine. They just look funny.
And if the cops catch you pay fines. There should be some changes in the exhaust market. The government cannot allow them to be manufactured (from reputed manufacturers like Barrel, RedRooster etc) and then fine the people for using them. I agree it's a difficult thing to monitor different exhausts.
It just sucks.
Bro plz make video on black interceptor standing behind this with windscreen, plz share those aftermarket acessories
Okay. After the lockdown.
Lovely bro you always bring worth it content
Thanks
That flame is awesome
Would be interested in seeing a video on the Scorpion exhaust. In the UK it is the only dyno tested unit available.
Do they build these exhausts scientifically considering back pressure , air flow etc.? Backfiring is an indicator of effed up fuel mixture, is it ?
Please highlight on the above and what is the change in throttle response and power. Need your technical know-how too bro. Thanks.
Yes. This is a product developed on the dyno. You immediately get to know the difference when you let go of the throttle. Absolutely no deceleration pops on the go. Tuned very very well.
@@abhinavbhatt great, thanks
Incredible sound
Year issbar main hi late hogya..😁😅😍🤟
R15 ka bhi video try to jaldi thoda 🙏😁🤟
Koshish jaari hai
@@abhinavbhatt
Ok bhai Main aapka har video dekhta hoon😁😍🤟
nice, i want something thats a bit more quiet but can have a similar tone.
Maybe with the DB killer in?
@@abhinavbhatt even with the db killer it sounded loud, probably cause it was indoor. my need is something thats just as loud as stock but with the bass. i took a ride in my cousin's interceptor with red rooster with baffle and some sort of metal mesh (im a noob) sounded awesome in idle and low rpm, once u open the throttle it was too loud and raspy for my taste.
Nicely explained buddy
Thanks
Maan 6:29 watch the right side exhaust... Flames!!😍😍
These are large dia exhaust will bother rider onboard for long tours, should have some crisp. Abhinav please try MW exhaust you will like it
I don't know anyone who has a MW exhaust in my circle. If someone gets it, I'll try.
Please type " high voltage exhaust interceptor 650" on you tube search and watch the video.
I think, triumph T classic exhaust s look n sound awesome
Aftermarket exhausts are illegal in India.... I am happy with my stock exhaust
@5.08 there's black interceptor which has unique seat bit comfortable for logn ride I assume
Please make video on that bike focusing on seats.
Great video buddy 😀 there's another super sounding exhaust named emgo muffler , but irony is I am unable to find get it on Amazon or other 😭
Ohh. Haven't heard about it.
Hi Abhinav,
Great review of the slip on exhaust, can we use these on Triumph ST
Hi Ashish. I am afraid not. The mountings won't match.
Bro I may suggest u to convert both the bent pipes together and put a single exhaust an then check out the sound I think the sound may be much better 🔥💯
See my previous video.
Please make a flyby video ❤️
Great content as usual Abhinav. Cheers to that! I noticed the crackling and popping on decel. I have also fixed AEW 102 cans on my Interceptor. The crackling and popping is there. More so when I changed to a DNA air filter. I noticed some exhaust gas leakage between the header and the cans. Could that be a reason? Or are the pops and crackles part of going the free flow exhaust way? Or do I have to remap? Would love to hear it from you as someone who has had the AEWs.
Pops and crackle are synonymous with AEWs. Of all exhausts, only Red Rooster exhausts don't have them. Maybe because they were designed with some dyno runs.
Hi Abhinav. I’m wanting to change the stainless steel finish on my 650 meteor to a black color finish without changing exhaust . What should I do?
I do not know. Sorry.
6:29 there was a flame!!!!! Crazyyyyy
Great video again.🙂
Sir, I'm planning to buy a bike but confused between RE Interceptor and triumph street twin. My choice is for 70% city use and 30% touring. What's your suggestion? Please.
Street Twin if you have the budget. If it is a stretch, then Interceptor good enough.
Thnks I have budget for street twin but I'm asking about reliability
Sir mere ko bhi ye chiz chiye 535 gt me lgana h 2
This exhausts are throwing backfire
Poli saanam
Myre
Myr
Now a days cops r targeting all re bikes as most of the bike owners are using aftermarket exhaust.... I'm from Hyderabad they sezied the bikes forever. Bro please don't promote 🙏
Sounds awesome..btw, at 3:56 is that rust I'm seeing inside the shocks behind the black spring coil..??
Its d shocks painted yellow
The newer 650s are coming with some kind of yellow cushioning on the inside. Not rust.
Its Roaring😍🔥🔥
Any other buyer : yo! Whats the package ?
Every other Indian - yo! Where is the sound
Hi @Abhinav bhatt, can you suggest which one would be the best in terms of power gains and sound : Lextek or S&S. I am planning to get it fit from the @speedmonks performance center.
S&S full system.
@@abhinavbhatt thanks, what if i pick S&S Slip ons instead of S&S full system. Are they still better then lextek. The reason why i am asking this is that i have heard lextek, their sound is amazing, but i am not sure about s&s slip ons sound.
I don't know about S&S slip ons.
6.30 to 6.35 u will see fire shots coming frm the right exhaust 😂 bro always love ur work... keep it up big fan from nagaland
✌
Jast want a honest answer, best sounding exhaust on budget for interceptor.. On your choice.. I'm confused between AEW & RR, now SSMOTO 2X1.. Laxtek is out of our reach, so not considering that.. On Indian manufactures which one sound good(loud & pop while downshifting on quickshifter) mine is DNA S2, piggyback with QS.. PLZ rply. Waiting
Nothing is better than SS Moto 2x1. Lextek is the best slip ons option.
Your voice is awesome sir
Thank you, sir.
6:32 It gives back fire
Bro u don't show the modification related to r15v3 engine . Fuel injection , nd throttle body . 🇮🇳🤔
Because I haven't done anything so far on it.
@@abhinavbhatt do it big brodar . I am still wating for that video . U are creating new stream in you tube . 🙏🇮🇳
Hello sir. Im planing to buy int 650 after lockdown.. But i really dont like the upswept exhaust. Can i change it with a straight exhaust. To make it look more like triumph t100. Please reply😀..
AEW makes an exhaust like that. Check it out.
@@abhinavbhatt thanks
Totally worth Man ....
It is pretty good.
What is the brand and where do i buy them?
One word ... ILLEGAL
I found a better option
bought second hand splendor for 35k
its fuel efficient too XD
Please post an outdoor video
