V-Strom 800DE Exhaust mod part 2
Greetings again all. I was receiving a few comments about the exhaust note being too loud, raspy, etc, etc, and I don't think the first video did a good job of capturing audio. Might have been my editing software getting in the way, or placement of the mic; not too sure. So, This one is raw--right off the GoPro Hero 7 Black, and not fancy at all. Audio was captured with external mic box from GoPro, and some Amazon special lapel/lavalier mic with a dead-cat inside my helmet.
I hope it helps!
Check out part 1 to see a little more of the how-to if you dig the sound.

Suzuki V-Strom 800DE Exhaust mod
มุมมอง 8Kปีที่แล้ว
Greetings! I wanted a little more volume from the OEM muffler on my 2023 Suzuki V-Strom 800DE DL800 (US model). Made a short video showing what I did, how I did it, and what it sounds like. I did my best to capture decent audio. I hope it helps the vstrom community out! Enjoy! Total cost... $15 for the step-up bits and an extension at Harbor Freight if you don't own them already.

  • @exothermal.sprocket

    Full exhaust and ECU tune, you gain around 10 horsepower and 6+ ft-lb torque. In my personal opinion, there's no sense doing anything but going the full way with a system and ECU flash, or simply do nothing at all. Modded factory exhaust sounds like a rusted-out leak. Tone is bad.

    • @northadventuressouth
      @northadventuressouth 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Stuffed a rag in down past the drilling area, and used some rare earth magnets too. That did the trick for me. I think one could unbolt it & do it on the work bench tip-down to be 100% sure. Not sure about the airy question. Just ask yourself if you're happy with stock sound. If so, leave it alone. Give it a few years. OEM mufflers will start popping up on eBay for cheap. Mod a used one! I think it sounds much better than stock. Can't blame anyone for not wanting to chop on a new muffler. I would've left the Africa Twin muffler I had on it if it would've fit with my pannier racks....

      I used a rag and a magnet to grab the worst of it. Then a quick rev to blow out the rest. I am lazy, and wasnt worried about it TBH. Done similar mods to many other bikes over the years. Never had an issue. If you are worried about it, three bolts to drop the muffler--do it on the workbench with tip down. Gravity on your side that way! Good luck.

      Agree, thought the same.... I like this setup. inexpensive for the OEM touring screen and Puig visor--and it is adjustable! I am 6'2" or so, and can see over it in full-tall setting. Put it down when under 45 or so, or on-trails and whatnot. Works great for me. FWIW--I ordered this setup long before Puig and Givi had windshields available, so check them out as well as the Suzuki touring screen.

  • @cranedaddy678

    I meant to comment on your first video about how I thought the mic was probably a issue. I have a high compression and cammed out Harley that sounds wicked in person but if I video it on my phone or something it sounds like a stock 4 wheeler almost. Literally 100% misses the sound the bike produces and I figured in your first video that was the case at least a little bit.

    • @northadventuressouth
      @northadventuressouth ปีที่แล้ว

      Thx, good comment! Yeah, been my experience too. Seems to be off one way, or the other. Blows the mic out and sounds too loud, or doesn't and sounds like a scooter. I would say the true sound, is somewhere in the middle of Part 1 and 2. IDK, hard to explain. But, definitely not loud--and a much improved sound over stock. Part 2 is closer to IRL.

      @northadventuressouth 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gear change here is like a sprocket swap on a motorcycle/dirtbike etc w/ chain drive. P500 in this model year was way too low for my liking. Taller gearing means lower RPM at same speed. Get a lot more use out of first gear this way, but not recommended with huge tires. Lots of good info out on the hondasxs forum. Good luck!
