Honda Rebel 500 Exhaust Swap! Diablo Twin Pipe Install!

- Aloha everyone!
I have a 2020 Honda Rebel 500 that I’ve had for a bit over a month and I think it’s time I finally switch out the moped-sounding exhaust!
I got the exhaust from a guy on the Honda Rebel 300&500 Facebook page for an amazing price but link can be found below on other websites!
With the stock exhaust, the Rebel sounds like a moped(I’ve had one for years)... after removing the stock exhaust, it absolutely shocked me on how good it sounded without anything there! I kept pressing and installed the Diablo Twin pipes and it looks and sounds AMAZING. Definitely worth the price and the 15 minutes of work!
Tools you’ll need is a 12mm socket and wrench for the upper bolt. As well as a 10mm socket for the lower bolt. Easy peasy mod for your bike with the slip-on feature. I definitely recommend! Let me know if you have any questions or what you think I should do next to my bike!

No tedious waffle, she just gets on with it. So unlike most of the biker dudes. Unique, in fact!
Thank you, I’ll take that as a strong compliment 😁
Hello my sister. I am getting a rebel too next year and hopefully if I don't change my mind. I miss riding. Love your bike. Thanks for your service. Hoorah!
Hey! Thanks for the support and for watching! I saw you had a Harley, I’m surprised you’d go for a Honda Rebel after previously having a Harley! Smart choice though! Haha
Thank you for your service!!
my 500 comes in this week. I am already sold on this upgrade. thank you lady!
You’re absolutely welcome! It’s definitely a great upgrade for the rebels😁
Love it ! How do you like it compared to the open header sound? Thank you for your service by the way
Thanks for watching and for your support! But honestly, I think I was more amazed after hearing my bike WITHOUT a pipe. After hearing how it sounds without a pipe, it sounded like nothing was being held back! Putting the Diablo pipe made it sound a bit weaker but still pretty nice😁 hopefully this helped😅
@@LyssaWithAnE awesome.... yes I love the open header sound so much I have a shorty on mine with arrow headers... and boy did the headers make a difference highly recommended by the way
I run mine open no muffler no difference in power that ive noticed but does look unfinished
Yes, I really loved it when I had no exhaust on, but the looks just didn’t look complete🥲
Two questions how has the muffler been holding up a so far. I read some reviews where they said the paint started to chip off after a few months. Question two doesn’t interfere with saddlebags at all ?
Thanks for the comment! To answer your questions, one, I also did notice the paint slowly start to chip around the welds of the muffler, but none that was big enough to notice when looking at the bike! And two, I sadly don’t have saddlebags, but IVE HEARD that you can’t run saddle bags with this type of muffler, just because of how it’s angled. It doesn’t allow enough room for saddle bags on that side… Sorry for the late reply, but I hope this helped!
Only problem....
Cant use saddle bags
That is true!😔 it was one sacrifice for another on my choice… With going with diablo twin, I also went with a sissy bar with a luggage rack instead of being able to attach saddle bags! There’s just so many ways you can modify a rebel… I love it
nice
for anyone asking - YES GET IT RN, it sounds so good. With the decibel silencers in it sounds nice and toned, but if you want it to chop like a harly and sound gnarly, take them bad boys out
Omg I smiled so big when I heard it without the exhaust. I can't wait to do mine!
Trust me, I fell in love! But not with the look of it being off… It sounded beautiful, don’t get me wrong, but it looked like it was just missing some thing😊 and the exhaust completed the look🙌
Thank you for this video - I just got the same model/color and am loving it! The dual exhaust looks and sounds soooo much better.
That’s awesome, congrats on getting a Rebel! I like your style😂 and trust me, I’m in LOVE with the aftermarket exhaust😍
Hey you at Luke? That looks like an aetc patch
I was at Travis actually! Just pcs’d though!
Good video but your background music is annoying and too loud.
It’s that way on a few other of your videos too. Stop the repetitive stuff. Its annoying!
i guess that exhaust is illigal here in the EU :(
Oh no, that’s too bad… there’s got to be some good ones that are actually legal there…
I’m a French Fan of your Facebook page. Ex- Major of French Army and bad english speaker , i try echanged with you because,i want customised my new REBEL, If you want, of course !
By,se you later ✌️
Fred
Where can I order one online. I just got a Rebel 500 myself & want a Diablo exhaust.
I did not expect ur a soldier.... Salute
Thank you, I appreciate the support!
Hey do you mind sharing where that side bag is from? Thanks!
Oh shit I like that roar
Same! It sounds beautiful!
Wearing uniform during the video is a bit cringe. The music was distracting and made it hard to appreciate the exhaust sound.
Thank you so much for your videos. I just bought my first bike and of course its a Rebel. Seeing how easy it is to link up with other Rebel owners makes me even more excited.
Oh absolutely! You have no idea how small but big the rebel community is! Facebook does wonders on meeting other Rebel as well!😁 I’m happy for you, you made a good choice on a bike! Keep up the excitement!🙌
Hello there, Elyssa!😃 That's one of my favorite motorcycles! And i love it for its Harley Davidson kinda look and without being so heavy and expensive.😅
Before the install the new exaust i thought: "She's gonna rev it without the pipe, i bet...."😁
You shouldn't had rev the bike without the exaust! You fell in love and now no pipe exaust sound will be same.😄
You know other bike that has such a pipe from stock? The Benelli TNT and the Benelli 502C.😉 Specially the 2nd one, is really pretty.😊
The background music was more like "frontground music" because it was really loud when compared to your voice.🙃
Congratulations on your bike!💜 Greeting from Lusitania! (Portugal) Have a great week and stay safe!👍😉
Hey! Thanks for watching and commenting! I’ve been looking at getting this bike for the longest time before actually getting it haha. It reminds me of a baby Harley! Haha, perfect size for me if I must admit!
And yeah haha, as soon as I rev’d it with no pipe at all, I was absolutely AMAZED at how good it sounded! I feel like everyone has to try it out once before installing their new exhaust hahaha
Thank you for addressing the background(foreground) music, you weren’t the only one haha. I wouldn’t have noticed it unless someone mentioned how bad it was😅😂
Nice to meet you all the way in Lusitania! Hope your week is going good as well!😁
That sounds awesome. I’m definitely considering the diablo after watching this video. Thanks Melissa
Could you turn up the music volume I could almost hear the exhaust over it
the best sound is in 2:40 LoL
I honestly agree! It sounded SO GOOD without an exhaust. But it wouldn’t be good for the bike to leave it like that😩
would you say that the rebel is a little bit too expensive for a first bike oder not?
Can't decide between the 2021 Rebel 500 or 2021 Vulcan 650 S for a first bike. Love you vids, drive safe.
Both are amazing bikes! If you haven’t already, I would definitely try and sit on both of them and see what feels better for you. The Vulcan is more of a forward controls for your gear shifting and brake, while the rebel is more of a mid control
Oh shit Air Force gang with the rebels
How is this holding up? I’ve read there are some serious quality control issues with this exhaust.
it’s actually holding up really good still! I’ve had a few scratches on it since I’ve put it on, but I just removed it, sanded it down, and spray painted it to look brand new! Other than that, I did notice that with this exhaust, my top speed I’ve hit was 109MPH… but with the stock exhaust, I was able to hit 112MPH… not much of a difference since I never ride that fast anyway. it’s still doing good though!
Hahahaha
all the humans in all parts of the worl ever start the motor without exhaust :-D
Regards from Spain!!!
Amazing to hear from Spain! Aloha and thanks for the support! But yes, its very common for the first modification on a bike, especially the Honda Rebels!
natural cutie
I currently live and work in Vietnam, I have the same hobbies as you, please try hard, my friend is always supporting your channel
👍👍👍👍👍👍👌❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for your support all the way from Vietnam! I appreciate it! I’m just glad I could help.
Love your bike! And THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!❤️💯
Thank you for your support in service and for the video!😁🙌
Lyssa with an E My Pleasure!💯 subscribed👍
Go muffler-less, paint the tips black, and call it a day!
Nah I’m kidding. No torque if you do that. Sounds nice though!
Haha, I was honestly thinking of leaving it without a pipe... it sounds amazing without one 👀😂
Hi, what bag are you using? :)
How do you find the exhaust after having it for a while..I'm torn between this Diablo and the V&H..I don't want anything to loud and heard the V&H is louder then this Diablo
I’m actually really glad I went with the Diablo twin! My buddy has a V&H and it’s just WAY TOO LOUD after a period of time for my preference. With the Diablo, it’s louder and sounds better than stock 100%, but still not as obnoxious as a V&H or a Harley Davidson pipe👌
Awesome bike my wife wants exact color but with the cowl and fork gaiters and upper covers.
Thank you! Your wife has a good eye! I actually want to do that to mine with the forks, gaiters, and cowl😩 darken up the whole front and make it look even more slick😍 maybe in the future!
Love the video and your bike! I’m looking at one of these to cruise around town and commute. I have a touring bike but these look fin
Why thank you! They’re definitely good bikes for just riding around town and short commutes. If I weren’t going on the highway, I’d say even the 300 is a good option!
are you a filipina ma'am?
Looks awesome! Great job and I like the all black (painted logo) looks sick! Thanks so much for the video but even more for your service to us and our country. 🙏🏼
Thank you so much for the support! And thanks, I love the look of it too!😁
0:21 / 4:58
Thank you for marking these down for everyone!
Should’ve removed the music when showing the before and after, could’ve heard it more clearly.
I’ll keep that in mind next time, thanks✌️
It sounds better with a Vance and Hines exhaust. That could be your next upgrade.
I actually really wanted the V&H exhaust but the price difference is what discouraged me😩 maybe in the future, but so far, this little Diablo isn’t too bad! Just better than stock😂
Long term, did you have to use ear plugs? Or you’re okay without it? I’m afraid the noise in the long run is deafening
I’m okay with it, I hear more wind than anything. But I also have a Sena in my helmet for music so the sound doesn’t really affect me.
My buddy has the Vance &Hines on his Rebel and he wears earplugs because it’s too much for him
@@LyssaWithAnE thank you for the reply! My friend uses the Akrapovic full system and he’s using ear plugs too. Much love from Brunei!
Aw i really love the rebel. The new exhaust you installed so crisp and bossy
Hope i can buy one soon ❤️
Trust me, it sounds 1000X better in person than in the video😂
When I first seen this exhaust didn't like it the small twin but the more I look at it the more I'm beginning to take to it
Trust me, it’ll grow on you! You thinking of getting it? It’s definitely worth it if your looking for the best bang for your buck! I know many others usually go for the Vance and Hines exhaust or the GP Shorty.
@@LyssaWithAnE yes was looking at the Vance and Hines but so expensive at $399/ £ 289 in the UK I'm looking at getting the se version already with the cowl and comfier seat
Awesome
belle moto
I like the sound without muffler. So damn good
SAME! It blew my mind on how good it sounded without an exhaust. I wish it looked as good and performed as good though… the Diablo twin just completes it, in my eyes
yuh
Love your videos! Thank you for your service !
Thanks, and thank you for your support! I really appreciate it!
yes, thank you for your service
Thank you for your support!😁
Some of the best 2020 Rebel 500 content on TH-cam! Just picked mine up yesterday (first cruiser, 9th bike) and was curious what the name of that side bag is? Keep up the good work 💯
Thanks, I really appreciate it! 9th bike but your first cruiser? That’s amazing to hear you chose the Rebel as your first! And the bags are Swing Arm Side bags. I got it from AliExpress!

@@LyssaWithAnE Yup that's correct, I mostly rode sport bikes but wanted something more laid back and better for my short legs😂 Thanks for the link to the bags!
good job!!! keep posting . be safe!!!
Thank you!😁
nice sound!
Definitely an upgrade from stock😂🙌
I am in the hunt for a new ride - thinking about getting the 500 - so greatfull you made this video! Hope you are well!
Hi Lysaa, how is the performance of diablo dual exhaust? u still using it till now?
Thanks for the vid. I wish I could hear a 300 on this , but 500 sounds awesome. I think I could handle this install. And it looks so much better than the stock one.
Michael Shelnutt thank you for the support! And absolutely, it’s a pretty easy and worth it modification! I had a moped for years before getting a bike and the stock exhaust on the Honda Rebel sounds like it😩 it’s definitely worth it, I love it!
Michael I have a 300 and the stock exhaust sounds pretty much like the 500. I can tell you that I wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the 2. Yes, you are going to want to replace it too.
Wow beautiful motor i love it
Thank you! They’re very nice bikes from Honda
thank you so much soldier!:-)
Thank you so much for your support!😊
Anyone knows how many dB's this would make?
Hey there, thanks for the vid! I'm trying to get the same pipe. I clicked the link in the description however I don't see that it will attach to the passenger peg. I noticed your pipe came ready fit for your bike and the bolt attaches to the passenger peg.
✌️
✌️
Wow😍😍😍
Such a beautiful sounding upgrade😍🙌
very nice!!
Thank you!😁
Nice ...
Thanks, it was definitely an upgrade!
I'm not a fan of upgrades that only bring Loud, but I appreciate ones that brings a smooth Growl.
I do too! this one was a perfect in-between!🙌😁
Looks like you really enjoy this bike! Thanks for sharing.
I do! Thanks for watching!
I got pretty tripped out, because I've seen you around a bunch on the Facebook Honda Rebel group! :'D Sounds so much meaner. I'm still on the fence about switching from stock since I really love listening to music on my rides without having to up the volume to max, but I'm looking for a sweet spot where it has some grumble, but isn't as loud as a straight pipe. Good stuff!
Hahahaha that’s awesome, well nice to informally meet you through the groups! I just REALLY wasn’t fond of the stock exhaust look😅 I get what you’re saying with music though! This Diablo twin is great with not being OVERPOWERING with noise like the V&H would. I think the Diablo twin or the GPshorty would be good for not drowning out your music as well as not emptying out your wallet!😁 but definitely no rush in choosing👌
Complimenti , sei molto brava....meglio di molti ragazzi che hanno paura di sporcarsi le mani . La passione x la moto è anche questo
Google translate is amazing😂 but thank you so much, I appreciate it! I always want to try doing things on my own and don’t mind getting my hands dirty in the process! Thanks for the support😁
Will this exhaust fit in the 1100 rebel?
I want to say yes, but don’t quote me… there are a few pages/groups on Facebook that you could join , where there are Honda Rebel riders across the WORLD that have made modifications to their bikes! I’m sure someone will have a better answer for you!
Does your diablo muffler backfires when revving down? Diablo muffler paints looses off after several ride...
I’ve noticed it does backfire a little when revving down, but nothing to be concerned about in my opinion👌 I like the gurgle noise it makes when letting off the throttle😍😂
Thanks. I thought it would damage the engine valves.
Do you know is it Euro 5 for Europa marked?
I’m not sure, sorry😩
I doubt any aftermarket exhausts are Euro 5 compliant. Most of them are designated "for off road use only."
got 2020 red tank rebel 500,thinking about to purchase this exhaust.
Custom tank color? That’s awesome! I was thinking about painting mine… but the exhaust is amazing😊 or we’ll much better than the stock😂
Thanks for your informative Video and for your service to your country....!!!
Thank you for your support! I’m glad you enjoyed the video😁
