- Listen to the brand new TEC Stinger exhaust system for the Interceptor 650!
In this video we take you through the installation of this incredible exhaust, and run through the revolutionary effects it has on the bike.
NOTE: The spring attached at 14:47 is not needed in the production model - it was only part of the prototype.

Fitted this to my RE 650 GT. All he says is true, I cannot believe the difference just moving the bike in the garage, the ease now of putting it on the centre stand. Overtaking is now a breeze as the mid range is much improved. I have left the baffle in as I don't want the bike too loud, I haven't it tried without the baffle, I will give it a go just to see what is like but I am happy with it in. Money well spent.
How much it costed ?
@@Itsjay2498 Have a look on their web site for current prices. It is cheaper than most slip ons, I had mine polished, now it loooks stunning on the Mister clean GT.
@@colinsaunders8723 didnt they update the warning on these to say you cant actually remove the baffle now?
That weight loss alone makes the system worthwhile! Well done!
I got my GT650 continental when they first came out and have put several thousand miles on it, loving every minute. Last week I put on the Stinger 2 into 1 and a DNA air filter/inlet. The difference in the bike was instant and it now has so much more usable mid-range and gets up to the ton without any effort. The other big difference is at low speed, where the bike is more versatile due to being much lighter. Another unexpected bonus is it takes up less space in my garage. I now love my bike even more and keep finding excuses to nip out. I owned over 70 British, Italian and Japanese bikes over the past 40 years and I think this is now my favourite.
I have read and seen a lot of the GT650 Continental and your comment is one more reason for me to buy it next spring.
Thank you!
@@Domenico757 Nip out !
I've got this system on my Interceptor, great finish, quality, and that noise!! 5/5
That's a work of art man. Keep on keeping on !
This whole TEC Enfield series makes me want one more and more each mod at the time👍👍
I agree. A big part of the fun for me is modifying and improving my bike. TEC seems to be spot on in terms of addressing areas that call out for improvement, and they are very well thought out, and well tested before going into production. Also, the quality is great as is George's no-hassle policy if there are any problems. The RE 650 outfitted with TEC parts is such a big improvement compared to the stock bike for a very reasonable cost.
I'm in Vancouver BC, Canada and we get a lot of rain here, so I might go with an adventure type bike with better weather protection, but haven't entirely made up my mind. Spring has sprung, so I'd better make my decision sooner rather than later. If I decide on the RE, I'll have to make another choice bc I like the red/black and the white/orange equally. Cheers!
Just finished the order, can't wait for the system to arrive.
Interceptor is looking badass with all the mods 🤩🤩🤩
Love that pipe! Besides the advantages, afforded by 2-1 design, I like that you lowered the back end of the pipe & tucked it under the shock. When I buy my RE, your pipe will be one of my early mods. Cheers
Hi just fitted this system, nice and easy, only issue I had was I had to re tap lamba sensor hole, the threads weren’t great but fitted now and sounds great, cheers guys
Great video and commentary!!! This exhaust is a true performance value! The weight savings alone is worth the price of admission. The exhaust system's overall appearance and quality is spot on for me. Thank you!
I installed my system yestertday and have to tell you I'm very pleased with the installation and the performance on the bike. The weight of the OEM is like having a permanent pillion passenger, and with the 2-1 the bike is so much lighter. Midrange is further enhanced ( DNA Filter fitted some time ago) and fuel compsumtion seems improved also.A great system at a very competative price. Well done.
Can you tell me how the baffle is supposed to stay in? And where does the u-shaped metal o-ring looking thing go? Thanks!
Gorgeous arrangement ..... And you are such a gentleman
Hope you and your family have a good time on your two week break ,
All the best mate 👍👍👍
As usual another first class product and video, thanks 👍👍👍
Ordered now....been looking forward to this for a few months....so excited like a school boy 🤣🤣👍👍

TEC, What an extremely well done video. Not to mention an apparently great product! Heck I love it for the weight savings and looks alone.
I currently have a 2015 RE Continental GT 535 and just wish you had made something this cool for that. Regardless, I'll probably end up with a 650 at some point and I'll definitely be looking at this product. Thanks for posting!
Oh wow. I want it!
Fantastic bit of kit if i must say so!!!! 👏👏👏👏, well done old boy .
Great bit of Engineering TEC nice system...
What a great guy. Great product looking, sounding end result too. I’d buy from him any day!
Great looking and sounding exhaust...suits the bike so well. Cheers, Steve
14 kgs weight saving alone is significant! Great video. Just one suggestion; maybe mention spanner & socket sizes to help.
These bikes are just sweethearts, a new age charm .
Looks great and sounds fantastic under load.
Not related, but your bar end mirrors are fantastic. Used them for my Thruxton 1200. Now they are on my Guzzi V7 III. Quality! Told a mate about them, and he also bought a pair👍 Great video, cheers
Lovely job. I'm very keen to see the big bore kit, to give that big twin torque!!1
These are the tools I used to remove the original exhaust system and install the Stinger 2 into 1 system plus 6 hole baffle on my RE 650 GT.
Motorcycle jack (no centre stand on the GT).
Circlip Pliers (to fit the circlip that holds the 6 hole baffle in the distal end of the new exhaust system).
14mm Flare nut spanner (fits O2 sensors). Not strictly necessary but it makes life so much easier.
Wire cutters to cut cable ties (I unplugged the O2 sensors, a slower approach but less stressful I thought).
15mm socket with 10" extension and T-bar, all 1/2" drive (fits new centre mounting shouldered bolt).
12mm socket, 10" extension and T- bar, all 1/2" drive (fits original rear can mounting bolt, original centre mounting bolt and the flange nuts at the cylinder head).
12mm combination spanner (fits rearmost mounting nut).
10mm 1/4" drive socket and ratchet (fits clamp on first join of LH exhaust of new system).
5mm Allen key (fits the M8 screw that mounts the proximal end of the new rear can and the distal end with the kit supplied 35mm M8 socket head screw).
One shoe lace to facilitate the fitment of springs.
In addition some cable ties to keep the clutch cable away from direct contact with the hot LH exhaust pipe.
Ordered can't wait to see it on my Continental GT, very reasonably priced which helps.
Absolutely brilliant and I'm really excited for your firm because you're product is 1st class and British engineering is in need of people like yourselves,,, been watching your channel and totally impressed,, hope it sells well,, thank you from Belfast Northern Ireland greatly appreciated thank you ☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️
I've only just tonight found your channel. It came about because I was looking for reviews for the RE as my wife likes the look of them. She's currently riding one of my vintage Hondas but would like a bike of her own. Here's where the story gets interesting. Today we both rode an RE, my wife to see if she liked it and me out of curiosity. On the way home we stopped off at the Triumph dealership for a looksy and I talked myself into a ride on the Speed Twin. Now, I'm a Honda guy to the bone. I currently have 8 Hondas, have owned 35+, and have ridden hundreds whilst working for Honda, but I think there's a RE and a Triumph coming home to my garage in the immediate future. How lucky do I feel now having found your channel that you not only cater to RE owners but to Triumph owners too. Funny how life works some times.
I should be on commission from RE and triumph LOL
Superb.
Congratulations, magnificent job.
Sounds and looks great.
This new system looks very good quality and style and not too loud. I've got Norton Dominator style straight through pipes and they they sound good but a bit too noisy. My mate riding behind said they gave him a nose-bleed!!
Matched with that nice 3/4 brown quilted seat and rack combo - very nice.
When George brings the seat and rack out I'll probably do it all. C'mon Tec!!
Hi George
Sorry been so busy over the summer not had time to make the seat mounting kits, but I will get onto it ASAP.
just placed my order, excellent and well engineered, I have been designing exhaust for my bikes for years, the science is perfect on this one. One bit of info George didn't get into, is that by using a perf tube in the mid pipe it will actually increase exhaust velocity over a smooth pipe at higher RPMs due there being less surface area (subtract the holes), at low RPMs the absorption holes function to lower the DB.
Nice exhaust! I’m not sure if this has been mentioned in the previous comments but another thing to recommend is to make sure that the exhaust pipes right after installing are thoroughly cleaned preferably with an alcohol wipe to rid the pipes of any hand\ finger oil’s that may have been left on the metal and can stain the finish once heated if not removed first. 😀👍
Yes we add this in the written instructions included with the kit
@@TECBikeParts Do you have the exhaust pipes ceramic coated?
those headers wrapped would look wicked. Great informative and presented video. The sound is awesome, brought the bike to life.
Wrapped !!!! ... Ahhhhh !! .. why would you do that ?
@@WyreForestBiker because it looks cool and it helps with heat management, thus performance......that's why..
@@darkcustomxxx7252 Err .. No and no LOL
@@darkcustomxxx7252 Wrapped headers will actually make for a hotter exhaust system. The wrap insulates the pipe, making it more comfortable for you, but makes the pipe retain more heat. That can improve the performance of a bike (a hotter pipe will make a bike run a bit leaner, so if the bike is on the rich side it can even it out), but it's mostly for aesthetics. I think it would look dope on this bike too, but it probable wouldn't run better because of it. I bet this bike is a bit lean with all the airflow its getting now from the high flow filter and this system, even with the ECU auto adjusting.
Very interesting video and superbly done. Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
Great work George. RE should make you their development engineer. It should have come out of the factory under 200kg. Thank's to you, it's now possible to achieve at a reasonable price. Some lighter tubeless wheels would really compliment it now.
Fitted the stinger today Just cant believe the difference. Like a different bike more responsive plus feels lighter. I'm like a kid with new toy.
Awesome engineering.
Good looking exhaust!
Fast delivery from tecbikepartsusa and just installed the Stinger system along with the booster plug and DNA filter/intake. I've also shed 6-7 lbs by switching to a lithium (Shorai LFX21A6-BS12) battery. After tightening everything up and wiping down pipes, it started right up and I let it idle for the advised 15 minutes before riding. In short, these were great mods and it is a different bike. The sound could almost pass for a stock motorcycle at idle but puts out a fantastic growl when you open it up. Which you'll want to do again and again. Perfect to my mind both on and off throttle. Still not a Super Duke but more responsive and rev happy. As expected, better handling and I could swear it feels more stable above 60 with my stock suspension. Braking is better and now (almost) adequate. As for install, I feel like beveling the edge of the LH flange where it fits into the graphite in the LH crosspipe was time well spent, and perhaps I should have done the same with the head pipe/crossover junction prior to installing on the bike. Mine was a very tight fit and took some time to get right in spite of using copper grease. More difficult than video for sure. Now I just have to figure out what to do about the unsightly centerstand on the left side.
take the stand off looks cleaner and save more weight, easy to fit stand bobbins in the holes in swing arm
Great work!
Great vid George xden
Now fitted to my Continental GT. Great quality and easy to fit.
How does it look Chris? Thinking about putting this system on my GT but not sure if I prefer the twin pipe look or the single pipe.
@@chrisdavies3566 I had Scorpion cans on mine and prefer the single pipe.
Nice, any tips on fitting, any issues with the left header clamp?
@@ChrisKonings Had no issues at all fitting the system all done in about 30 minutes, just made sure the left pipe clamp was in an accessible position for tightening.
Best one yet 😃
Great work fellas 👌 surprised there is a cat in the front pipes, cheeky petes. Must add some weight. Love the stinger but I’m going to wait for your 2-2. Maybe ready for my good lady to get me for Xmas? Ahem ahem Mrs D.
good affordable prices good. 10/10 boss
OK, so I ordered and recieved this exhaust, was easy to fit and my gosh how much lighter it is than the original and you definately notice when riding!
The sound is perfect for my taste, the baffle is in and its loud enough without being obnoxious, I really love it. The fitted baffle hole does make the tail pipe exit look too small for the bike.
My only dislike/problem is the fitted baffle itself, since running with it for a few days now, the baffle rattles on idle (held in place with a circlip not bolt) and there is about 1/2mm to 1mm of play and no way of stopping other than having to go and buy some high temp silicone and stick the rear of the baffle to the silencer.
Other than that it's a great exhaust and I am extremely happy with the overall package, I wanted the cannons but this weight saving won me over, plus the cannons are too long in my opinion.
My only problem
I have a BS exaust also 5 kg both sides great, update for the bike and great sound ,greadings from Germany..... 🤗
Heavily lightened 👍
Performance or not it just looks way better 👌🏼
Damn, I just ordered some S&S slip ons, now I want this system haha
Same problem buddy 😓
Sold my S&S slip ons and got myself some of these!
If the 2-into-2 system completes development, you can use the S&S cans on it.
Installed mine today. Nice to have a good how to video to follow along. My conti sounds awesome with the 6-Hole baffle. Bike feels quicker and stronger 👍
Reminds me of my 1982 Triumph Tiger Trail 750. A mechanic made up a set of high-set pipes with hot-dog mufflers.
Great video looks great /sounds great stay safe 🇬🇧👍🏻
Big thumbs UP!
i love those wheels!
Sounds perfect...perfect.
Bloody hell...this makes me want one! An RE that is!
Get one! They are a fantastic bikes I have had big sports bike all of life I have been thinking about getting one for some time they are not as fast as my normal bike but they are so easy to ride and on the back roads they very good.so I would go for it life's to short!
You wouldn't regret it. My 650 is a little gem - willing motor, nice gearbox and light clutch. Goes where you point it - it's a Ronseal kind of bike!
Pwoli saanam!!!
Fantastic value for money! Not taking the p*ss on pricing.
Wow awesome 👍👍👍
What a wonderful day, UA-cam recommended your video
A remarkable machine made better
Really think this looks great on the Ravishing Red, sure it'd look good on the Baker Special too but don't think it's right for the chrome version. On the basis of "if you don't ask you don't get" I'd like to put a plea in for the 2-2 polished stainless. If you can find a way of getting a balance pipe in there too that'd be great as every hp counts!
Yes coming soon.
Amazing sound and a work of art.
I recently fitted your luggage rack on my Interceptor and I can't recommend it enough. Really well made
I'm seriously considering buying this exaust but will it fit with the RE compact engine bars that I fitted to my bike.
Take care and ride safe.
Good question I hadn't thought of. I have the compact crash bars too. Will the system fit?
@@georgehesse7396 George told me it wont, unfortunately.
If I had this bike this would be the only mod needed
Ahhhh, I have the engine protector bar, so now need to decide whether to remove it and have the stinger or leave and have the cannons! But the weight saving alone is huge, I love having two exhausts BUT the weight is pushing me to the stinger. 12kg lighter!
Update: I succumbed to the weight saving over looks, full Stinger ordered and some tec black brake and clutch levers!
I'm going Spain for a short vacation and I am so much more excited about fitting the parts to my bike and can't wait to get back home on the 7th Sept!
Looks awsome cant wait to see the other duel exhaust that is in development..Also what is the cost to make my own ROYAL ENFIELD just like the one you guys have...with all the parts you offer...
This Exhaust system looks amazing & well built, the technical details explained by Sir is really simple and effective,am eagerly waiting to buy this for my interceptor, but sir Many technician's & Mechanic's say that changing the stock bend pipe will leads to valve seal damages & hence reduced life of head, I kindly request you to please explain the Reality about this Issue ,
No way will this exhaust cause valve seal damage !
Beautiful system that matches the styling of your particular bike and urban sports style. Don't think a 2 into 1suits standard trim.
How's the emission standards met in the new system with lower amount of material used!!
And an FYI the Indian version has not picked up there.. we believe this may have potential. Do post more about this on the twins, if that's feasible. Cheers
I know you've mentioned before that it wasn't on the agenda, but now the 2-1 exhaust is completed, is there any chance you could develop a similar looking 2-2 exhaust which is more low profile than the OEM one? I know the performance won't be as good as this, but the 2-2 style looks very period correct and in keeping with the bike. Cheers!
That was the question I was about to ask! My prime concern is to reduce the weight,I already got rid of the OE silencers and the bike feels way better. A pair of light weight ,free-er flowing front pipes would be top of my list for the bike.
Or maybe a 2 into 1 into 2 to get performance but old school look
And that sit lower to allow saddle bags.
Hi
yes we have a stainless 2-2 big bore system in development
Ther were plenty of two into one systems in the 60s
Great work sir! I was wondering, I have the small compact engine guard fitted on my Interceptor. Would these exhausts still be compatible on my bike?
good work yr parts better price than mr h
Brilliant video, pipes look great and I’m very tempted. My only concern is noise, are these much louder than the stock pipes?
We offer several baffle options so you can have it as loud or quiet as you want.
I want one!
I'm going to buy the interceptor 650 someday it's so sexy
What is the noise level of the stinger compared to the standard system? Would also be good to know how the noise development between 2000-4000 rpm is (DB) Thanks.
hello, thank you for everything you do. I would like to know, please, if shortening the exhaust pipe can influence the engine? thank you.
Before start up I always wipe any oil off the pipes, then it doesn't burn in. Almost invisible fingerprints turn black when the pipe heats up and are then difficult to get rid of.
Love the exhaust! Really well designed and engineered. I've watched all the videos you've put out on this bike, but could you be a it more specific on the headlight? You said it's a small LED, but some sort of link or specs would be awesome.
If it wasn’t for that oil cooler, could the left header pipe wrap around the front frame tube? Is there sufficient space between the front frame tube and the front wheel/mudguard?
Is there anywhere else that oil cooler could be mounted? Where are the oil outlets and inlets located on the engine?
luv the all that mods, do you have it in stock?
Good job!!
When I installed this I weighed all the original bits and the new exhaust and I got 32lbs lighter, plus it looks nicer and sounds nicer! What more can you ask for?
My clutch cable rubs up against one of the pipes now, do I have to get a longer clutch cable? I have a GT 650.
What things will that exhaust prohibit someone from fitting on? Will it work with engine guards and a bash plate? Just wondering. Looks very nice
Great Job !! Please suggest how to add engine protectors with stinger exhaust. Thanks
@TEC Is there anyway that you can make the Interceptor sound as nice as the Bonnevile that youve done videos on? This sounds good, but the Bonneville sounds throatier. Great channel!
Nice
Selling my kidney for this RE and this exhaust i really love the thumping sound of it
Great sound. Is it compatible with the engine bars? Thank you, very inspiring
I've just finished fitting this exhaust. Easier than I thought but a couple of sticky bits to be aware of:
1- an instruction sheet with a diagram in it would be great. Everything is fairly easy to work out but it would give more confidence to know the bolts, clamps, gaskets (especially the graphite one) are all utilised in the correct way in the right place.
2- put it together before fitting. This allows you to understand how it'll all fit. The right hand down pipe into the centre section was V tight on mine and even with a bit of lube it took quite a bit of brute strength to slot them together.
3- putting the springs on fine, but it will ping off first time so take the advice on the video and stick some glasses on.
My centre section didn't have a spring fixing for the end can. No seriously I liked and it's just not there. Fitted it without and it seems ok..... Tell me if you think this is bad. TEC will this be ok?
4- started it up and looked for leaks. There is some light "smoke" that comes off the pipe. I thought oh no it's leaking but give it 5 mins and it all burns off. If you still see smoke you might have a leak... Also the grease I put around the joints took a few minutes to burn off, so give it a good few minutes before you panic.
Sounds marvelous. I didn't put the baffle in as I left my circlip pliers in the garage but it crackles wonderfully.
Looks really great too. The left side of the bike now looks a bit bare, I might have to take the centre stand of too as without the silencer there to guide it it does stick out a bit and imho looks a bit of. Still more weight saving.
DNA filter next
Sound is awesome😍 are they euro 4 homologated?
How good is the 865 big bore kit from S&S for these motors? What about their 750 kits? And are there any dual front rotor kits available for them?
It would be nice if also made a scrambler type pipe 😉
Hi! I just recently installs my 2-1 exhaust on my GT 650 and noticed that the clutch cable is pressed against the exhaust pipe. The rubber coating has burnt off since. I was wondering is there a fix for this or should that not be an issue?
Use a zip tie to gently tie it back somewhere?
Hi! I want to ask you about "first running procedure". You said that we have to start it cold and wait round 15 minutes to let ECU to remap itself. What if I did not do it this way? Doest it mean it won't remap? Can I turn it off wait until it gets cold and start it again for this "15 min procedure"?
