Vance & Hines Slip-On Exhaust For The 2021 Honda Rebel 1100-Unboxing, Install, First Start!

It's finally here! This is the new upswept slip on exhaust for the 2021 Honda Rebel 1100 from Vance & Hines. The video includes detailed unboxing, installation, as well as the first startup chapters. The install is detailed and should allow anyone with basic hand tools to install it themselves.
Thank you to Vance & Hines for providing me with this exhaust with no strings attached. That way I can be honest and you can see what works well and not so well.

Thanks for posting the vid. Just ordered one for my 1100 this video will be very helpful for my install !

I’ve just installed mine and I think you have the hanger on the wrong side of the bracket. Sits much better behind the footpeg bracket. Great vid though.

[@raceboy1971]

I did install it wrong! It's since been fixed.

@@raceboy1971 absolutely not picking this is a great video. I missed a piece installing mine and then realised it pushed into the rubber 🤣🤣🤣

Recently just got mine and unfortunately the bracket on the exhaust is off by quarter of an inch so i cant get the bolt through it. I have a 2023 Rebel 1100.

Thanks for a great video! I'll be putting mine on soon and this will be a big help. Do you think you could use the nylon Honda saddlebag with this exhaust?

[@sidetraxx]

Have you done a decibel reading? I got the Two Brothers one but even with the optional baffle, still too loud for my taste. Heard the Vance and Hines is quieter while still sounding better and louder than the stock one.

[@raceboy1971]

I have not done a sound pressure level reading, but we do also have a Rebel 500 with the TBR exhaust and the 500 is louder.

@@raceboy1971 Thank you! That's enough confirmation for me to switch.

[@paul.aragon]

Had you considered the Two Brothers version or other options?

[@raceboy1971]

My wife had the 2 Bros on her 500 before she got this 1100. I hate the way the exposed clamp looks on the 2 Bros with no heat shield and the fit and finish of the V&H is definitely superior. The V&H was developed alongside with the Honda and was even at the press launch of the bike vs the generic 2 Bros as well.

Did this require a tune?

[@raceboy1971]

Since it's just a muffler, no need for a tune. The Honda ECU was able to handle it, no problem.

IS THE SMOKE SELLING BECAUSE THE EXHAUST IS NEW?

[@raceboy1971]

Yup, went away after 1 ride.
