Gotta love that boxer rock to the left when the engine is rev'd.
SO GLAD you guys are doing this! Please do this for other bikes as well, MT09 next please! And thank you!
Freakin' awesome and I like how they wrapped them all up quickly in the end. These Revzilla guys know how to do things.
Awesome video! I don't even own a GS, but I watched the entire video just to listen to exhaust sounds.
My favorite Revzilla guy Joe Zito.
Nice work on the comparison reviews brother.
Thank you!!! Just ordered my arrow now black with many thanks to you guys!
Excellent presentation - nicely done and much appreciated!
Also, thanks for the well recorded audio. A lot of exhaust videos do not record them consistently for an accurate comparison.
Great video! R1250GS owner here. Haven't seriously thought about a new exhaust, but the sound comparo really got me thinking...
Great comparisons, great video. Thank you sir.
I know the manufacturers provide HP and Torque claims for their pipes but it would be great if you’d have mentioned that in the vid. Great job 👏
I’d go with the Yoshi.I honestly don’t hear a significant difference with any of them.
I’ve got a Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust mounted on my GS 1250 adventure with three sound options which you can select by a little button on the handle bars. It sounds great, absolutely a big fan of this exhaust!
Great comparison video!
Great quality video. Appreciated.
Nice comparison. I wish there was a db comparison as well... just some numbers to see how loud these exhausts are...
Brilliant. We should celebrate the unique and great sound of the Boxer over all the 4 pots. Remus sounds and looks the best.
Great video. I have an Acropovic pipe and love the sound. I would have likes to see a test between these pipe that shows if these pipes gives you a little more HP/kw and how much if any.
Subs on youtube never fails to bring a laughter. «Hey Im Joann»
I'd love to see more exhaust comparison videos please.
Let's hear some for the 2019 BMW s1000xr exhaust sounds Comparison. Nice video.
Great comparison fellas!
Dang. That yoshi really impressed. Light. Cheap and it sounded better than all of them...
Yoshi for the win. Cheap, lite, sounds good. That Remus is easily the best looking though
Remus sound probably the best IMO, But yeah, Yoshi for the win.
Yes agree Yoshi for the win, best sound in my opinion also for this bike and color I would take carbon finish one. Only if I could afford one :)
Totally agree.
This video is nicely done comparison of Exhaust sound. Was very helpful. Please let me know if there is any exhaust for triumph rocket 3 R
Great presentation. Have you done tests on them burning the rear right indicator?
Great video! BMW S1000XR next up please! 😃
I have the Akrapovic on my BMW GS and I love it sounds great looks awesome!
Brian Morse agreed.
its too big imo
Best sound Yoshi. Best looks Remus.
A brilliant video👌
Man, that Arrow is enormous.
Very good video. Pricing should be part of these in addition to sound. Joe is super credible as a host. Thanks!
REMUS!!!! Great video! Thx
Mr. Joe- Installing baseball cards with clothespins would give about the same sound improvement as those alternate exhaust systems. I think I'll stay stock on my bike.
Stock pipe is the winner for me. I owned two GS and GSA, never considered spending money on a new Exhaust!
BMW GS is one of the few bikes where the stock exhaust will survive the first year of ownership
Going down the road the stocker sounds great. Big old can though. Most get covered with a bag anyway.
Really good review, it very comprehensive for an average buyer.
For more technical / high-performance nerds, they will find it missing some horsepower and torque gain information.
Can you make an exhaust comparison for my Zero DSR Black Forest next?
I would love a video like this for the mt07
plenty of exhaust comparison vids for MT07:D
i had the akra exhaust that sits under the bike on my MT, looks cool and sounds good too, if its too quiet for your linking it has removable muffler to make it extra loud:D
Has the BMW R1250GS Crash Protection video been published yet?
I like the arrow best with yoshi second
Let's be realistic guys!! I own an R1250 GSA and i would never considering spending a single penny for a new aftermarket exhaust. I think it should be a great video if those exhaust tested on the S1000 XR. Doing mainly off road and on road long trips, i need something durable and silent.. i'd rather pref to spend this amount of money for other aftermarket parts. P.S. Nice video anyhow.
The stock is perfect for my ears
I had the Remus 8 slip-on and it sounded amazing but it was just too loud. Even with the baffle. Best sound while staying reasonable, volume wise, was to keep the OEM slip-on but replace the header pipes and remove the CAT. Of course I had to get a PCV and dyno but now my GS sounds perfect and feels amazing.
what headers did you use?
To be fair with the factory exhaust, the sound loosens up and gets a little louder after a couple of thousand miles.
Thanks for input
Is it me or is that Akra really sounding the way it is? Sound is on another level...Remus looks cool though...
Imo it sounded shit
Reminds me of a 4 stroke power generator, with newer emission standards we can kiss sound goodbye
How is the vibration after the installing akrapovic ? Do u feel it once u reach 130 and all objects look like circles on mirror? I need some technical advice in here please
The stock pipe has the deeper sound, probably overall best to my ears. But I’d I had to choose I’d go with the Yoshi.
I would never wast my money on an aftermarket pipe for my GS, there are plenty of other more important things to wast my money on.
Thanks.
Went with a Leo Vince carbon fiber and took the baffle out...now the bike has the right noisy growl. That said, boxer motors don’t sound nearly as good as twins..it’s just the way they are. My 990 with akro exhausts sounds like an Italian sports car..now that’s a good sounding bike...
Love how the bike twists when it's revved due to that engine configuration!
I personally would probably leave the stock one on there because these aftermarket exhausts might make the "tour-ability" a bit worse
Do you mind sharing why so?
No appreciable affect on tour-ability. Unless you consider a slight drone. Which considering the pure joy of the musical note and awakening of this great engine is bliss. You decide what’s important.
@@torrid94 my reasoning would be highway drone. But it's all a delicate balance between sounds and volume levels that bring joy and ones that get really annoying. I would buy luggage and other gear first, but it's my personal preference
Remus looks the best.
Yosh or Arrow for sound and weight.
Akra sounds like a cartoon Bhole on the GS. Sounds great on my sportbike.
Fair enough. Couldn't we just combine the look of the Remus with the sound of the Yoshi?😂
Can you all do that for sports bike
Do any of these products void a warranty?
Please start using normal numbering system?
Remus weight is incorrect. It weighs around 11 lbs not 9 lbs 10 ounces. There is next to no weight savings with the Remus (and, yes, I found the spec for the version and materials used in this video).
I see BMW boxers still has the odd torque feedback when on throttle
The akra with no throttle up is the best!
Maybe it’s just me but frankly, I think the stock exhaust does just fine
Miss the sc project and jekyll
I’d buy the Remus
Stock and Yoshimura 👍
The R1250 uses wide band oxygen sensors so the fueling system is already far better then anything available aftermarket. Also, aluminum is lighter then titanium.
Only Akro sounded unique ... deeper rumble . The rest all sounded pretty similar to me
The akra easily sounds the best! Pity it's the heaviest
Straight up that Akro wins me over. That just sounds sweet!
Great compariston video, Akra sounds best to me. To install the springs you can just use a lace to pull it in place if you dont have the tool.
I have the same bike. I ended up with a SC-Project muffler on my R1250GS exclusive. The Akra sounded too close to stock. I love the sound of my SC-Project in black. The sound is just great when using the gear assist pro and otherwise pops/crackles as well. Not too loud - but deeper and louder than stock. I love it !
Yoshimura👌🏽
What about the jekill and hyde exhaust ? I've got one on my 1250 Gsa and it's a 3in1 exhaust with a wonderful sound
What's your experience on this one? How does the 'loud/deep' one sound?
@@SIMONVDH Expérience is very positive. In open mode it's closed to akrapovic with à very good sound (hoarse). In close mode sound is very quiet (more than the original one). In medium mode, fòr me it's the perfect position if you need to use highway for a long periòd because sound is present but not too annoying. Only problem of this exhaust is the price (akra x2)
@@smolone31 thanks. I have the option to buy a second hand for €800. But that is the same price of a new SC projects for example...
I go for arrow
A dyno run with each one would be very useful. Not every exhaust adds to HP, most of them decrease performance although we believe the opposite
Bos also makes a nice exhaust for the GS. there’s also Termignoni and SC Project, but the latter has issues with scorching the rear right turn signal. There is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to exhausts for the GS, but since they all sound like ass, pick the one you like most on looks. I kinda laugh when people harp on the weight on the can when their GS is usually weighed down with shiny luggage and protective armored pieces. Go with the coolest looking one according to your aesthetic tastes
So because people put a bunch of extra weight on their GS they shouldn't care what the exhaust weighs? Strange thinking. Yeah, people are going to put lights, panniers etc on their adventure bikes so if weight can be saved somewhere else it is all the more important.
@@suburbanhobbyist2752 I don't think people will be very concerned about saving a couple of kilograms of muffler on a 250kg adventure touring bike.
SC??
SC project???
Hp corse exhaust - best
am i not allowed to install an aftermarket slip on muffler even with a baffle if in california??
eric the akrapovic is homologated so you can use that. The others, though, I’m not sure.
Arrow and Remus
Stock sound is good enough.
I'll stick with the stock muffler.
After market mufflers is like buying bottled water.
Only place GS sounds good is the pops in hard downshifting during deceleration. Any other comparison is just asking, "what kind of fart do you prefer?"
Am I the only that loves the stock exhaust? In any case, if i was forced to change exhaust, i would probably pick the akra!
When riding a 1200 or 1250 the stock exhaust sound good. Quiet when you want but comes alive when you gas it up.
It seems it is impossible to get the boxer engine to sound 'sexy' or get a good guttural note no matter what muffler is used.
The akra looks the best & sound the best but is hard to justify the cost over the stock muffler
you should not only focus on sound, some of these slip ons, especially the cheap ones, will make you lose a good amount of hp
I've got 2 BMW flat twins. IMO, that engine configuration should be kept as quiet as possible. There are no redeeming sound qualities from any flat twin.
Agree. I just keep the stock exhaust on my GS. It's for long hauls and neither my wife or I likes to have hearing damage.
@@HangOnHangOff Hearing damage is more likely to come from wind noice than from exhaust sound
Amen to this. Just enjoy the smooth, linear torque of these german sewing machines.
I keep the stock simply for the fact that I find it a waiste of money.
@@frankeichhorn7979 You should hear my Tuono with SC pipe :D I ensure you it's louder than the wind.
Link to the crash protection guide?
Keep watching the channel, it will be released within the next coming weeks. -Pat
Why not a lower price option like grmoto
My takeaway from this video - they all about sound the same, keep the original exhaust 😎👍🏻
Yoshimura The Best 👌💪
Yosh for me.
This guy looks like binging with babish
I have a GS and the stock muffler sounds OK. Quiet when you want it to be (but still audible) and comes alive when you get on the throttle & revs. Perfect. An when on the bike it has a reasonable note & tone.
I have ridden GS/GSA's with an Akra muffler and the 'noise' novelty soon wears off.
With the 360 degree firing order of the boxer motor, it will never have a good exhaust note, no matter what muffler is fitted.
Anyone spending money on one of these overpriced mufflers is doing it for form, not function.
Yoshi or Arrow 👌🏼
Did I miss the prices?
Since prices can change without notice for us from the manufacturers, we just list the current pricing on our website. Feel free to check them out here: rvz.la/3cLmHSx - Pat
Arrow for me. Good medium.
The GS sounds like if a garbage fire was a sound
It sounds slightly I mean, the tiniest bit better when you're on it, but I agree that exhaust sound is not a good reason to buy a GS.
@@imbologna tbh on a GS it's not a big deal. Now the R18 on the other hand is another story, who's gonna buy a harley clone that sounds like a diesel truck :/
Arrow the best
akrapovic!
They all sound the same to me.. Remus looked the best in my opinion.
Putting a loud slip-on on a GS is like installing a huge wing on an SUV.
