- Posting from the US because these aren’t well known here. The only content is from guys who just use Enfield parts and don’t actually help you understand the bike. Hopefully this video does something like that.
When you do any modifications to exhaust or air filter start the bike up (DO NOT REV IT) let it idle for 30 minutes and the CPU will self adjust to the new setting. After 30 minutes turn off the bike and DO NOT START IT FOR 30 SECONDS.Job done.
Of all the exhaust videos i been searching, THIS takes the cake.. gonna try same setup this weekend.. Thanks mate 👌
Great informative video, love the exhaust hack, wel done! all negative comments are probably from people inolved in upgraded exhausts, or just plain annoyed that they payed for one lol ! love it well done
What did you do about your main stand as the catalytic converter has the rubber stops on it for the main stand? You would need to probably get a bar with rubber stops on it so you can still use the main stand as this is very useful when doing a service or changing a tyre. You'd also probably need to get an exhaust chrome extension to retain the original look & length, otherwise it looks a little odd with the exhaust being so short.
Exhaust was done today, sounds amazing, thanks buddy :)
Upload a picture or video!
@@JSNorman Will do bud no worries
I ordered the full Red Rooster system, gona take out the center stand stop and sell it on lol

Too bad you didn't do a video for it. This week I got rid of the heel shifter and replaced it with a toe only shifter from Tec bike parts; should have done it a long time ago.
Just found your video, I have done the same mod to my exhaust. One item that came up immediately is that when you take off the cat you lose the rubber stops that the centre stand hits on when retracted, without the stops the centre stand now comes into contact with the chain. I was wondering what you did to overcome this?
Awesome video, a rare find for a foreign bike. I just picked up the exact bike you’ve got in October. I love the sound you get her but man I’m just worried about jacking up the ECU without wanting to spend the 200 on a fuelx
I understand. It’s tough dropping $200 on a tuner. You really can’t change anything in terms of performance without addressing a few other areas. The nice thing is the bike is a blast without messing with it.
Absolutely, I ended up pulling the trigger on it. The sound improvement alone makes it worth it. Again, appreciate the video!
Hi, can you give me more information about the gasket part to buy?
Thanks and incredible video 💪
I used a high temperature gasket maker.
Super exhaust note👌♥️🥰
I have a 2021 Fireball red meteor with a DNA filter/cover and GIVI rack. The rack is from Hitchcock's. The only change I wish could be done are real forward-controls. I'm in San Diego
Any performance hiccups from removing the catalytic converter?
Nope.
been curious to see someone try an emgo shorty exhaust on these bikes.
Hey can u tell me how much percent the sound will increases ,if u delete the cat,is it worth ?
Hi, Friend, great video you had made.
I am thinking of doing this exhaust mod. But i hav some query. Requesting your suggestion as you have first hand information.
1) some are saying against removing catalytic converter as it will cause engine problems (valve issues) and milege and pick up drop., as exhaust getting free flow and so the engine gets only lean mixture. Have you come into any issues after this catalytic converter removed and new exhaust mod??
plz mention the differences you got in all aspects.
Plz repl. Thankyou
Look up Baxter cycle. They have it all here in the states.
Try hitting the rear brakes after that. Although it looks cool, it’s not practical as the rear brake pedal starts touching the exhaust when applied.
No problems for me.
What you did with the exhaust is awesome. I was searching and trying to decide if Hitchcock’s free flow system was worth it and I came across this. Looks incredible too. I like the shorter setup. It sounds better obviously, but is it obnoxiously loud when riding it? That’s one thing I never liked about aftermarket pipes.
I never turned any heads when it was stock. But now, if I get on it pretty good, I can get some attention. You still can’t really hear it above 35-40mph. So I definitely think it’s a happy-medium.
I’ll probably post a side-by-side comparison video when the weather gets warmer.
@@JSNorman that’s good to know. My first bike had straight pipes and it was all I could hear when riding it. I like that you kept the stock exhaust. I wouldn’t change anything, except I think catalytic converters on motorcycles are kind of ridiculous.
Sounds GREAT!!!!
May be the British heritage.....it's an Indian bike ..if not for indian people it would be dead
Same could be said about indian motorcycles if polaris didn't step in.
Calm down old chap
How you fix the mainstand limiter?
where did you get the fork gaiters?

i just fitted fuel x pro and found quite a difference, exhaust seems louder smoother better pick up especially from low revs. increased torque. I maybe getting slightly better results than you because i have fitted Hichcocks full stainless system. im guessing they did a lot of testing before finalising it. yours without at least a decat straight pipe is rather short and may affect back pressure so its not ideal. Im at map 6 at the moment.
I’ve always been partial to the shorter exhaust. Any mechanic/bike guy hasn’t been concerned with how it’s running. I do understand what you’re saying though. I’m bouncing between 6-8 on the maps.
@@JSNorman forgot to say also free flow air filter and larger intake already fitted. I must say although the rather expensive stainless system is very lovely it does keep a rather classic kind of look. If one looks 👁️ through the new silencer it is completely straight through but has a sound absorbent surround. Only things I don’t like is the price 😂 and the fact it is not tucked in close to the bike to say the least. I tried to adjust this by rotating it a little with the 2 head flange bolts loose. But that put the whole exhaust out of line down the side of the bike. So I ended up putting it back again. It is definitely not too loud and horrible with the supplied baffle in although some seem to like it that way. I really do think Hichcocks got this system spot on and must have done a lot of refining.I had a very short straight through end on home made decat pipe and it was terrible popping and banging. I did like it a bit but did not suit the running of the bike. Also by changing to the new system I got rid of the narrowing down part where original front enters into your silencer. So stainless system is big bore all way through!
@@DLoneRanger I was very close to getting the free flow from them, but it would have been close to $500 with shipping. And the pea shooter back end is just a little too classic for the Meteor. I do appreciate the information though!
@@JSNorman maybe later then or Christmas 🎄 🎅 mine really does sound lovely at some point I will do a video on my channel
Happy riding m8
Is it a full exhaust or just a slip on ? Oh nevermind I rewatched the video lol its the stock pipe. Sounds awesome
If you weren't fan of the chrome why did you pick the stellar edition? I have the fireball matte green for the reason that there is no chrome, everything is matte black
I really liked the red…
Bro which bar end mirrors are u using!
so if i just did the same to my exhaust with no other mods would i need the fuel tuner? or would it be alright
From my experience, riding with the de-cat exhaust and without the tuner made the engine run quite lean. Whenever you mess with something, chances are you’ll have to mess with something else.
@@JSNorman i just watched another video and apparently when changing the exhaust/air filter, turning it on and idling for 10 mins let’s the ECU recalibrate and automatically adjust the air/fuel ratio. unsure if this is 100% true for all models as mine is a 21” meteor 350
@@clarkmclauchlan4217 I did that as well. The bike will run, just not as well as it could.
Great exhaust hack, no need to buy anything else except for a gasket. How's the fuel consumption now with the cat delete?
I have not noticed any change in fuel consumption.
The other issue with decatting is you lose the centre stand rubber stop, as it’s mounted on the cat. 😯
True, you can get a modified one from Hitchcock’s.
@@JSNorman thanks for the tip, unfortunately I've already ordered my red rooster pipe direct from India 😟
wait, so there’s other way to attach the centre stand if I decatting?
Nice bike saludos desde Colombia
¡Gracias! ¿Ves Enfields en Columbia?
Couple of issues, not a British bike - Indian, you did not cover the issue with removing the CAT - as it has the stop for the centre stand. Hitchcocks do a decat pipe and modified centre stand for a decent price.
I just took the center stand off.
And if you take a look at the India red rooster exhaust from India it solved the issue with the main stand in a very simple and elegant way
@@kevindarkstar I got the look I wanted without having to spend any money though.
It started in Britain, it’s a British design
@@hwy1310 Might be true of the Bullet of old, these are far removed from the old Enfield's
no new videos? do some riding videos
I’m waiting on Hitchcocks to release their performance camshaft. That’ll be my next update to the bike.
Not a British bike....! Indian....! Daaaah..
@@johnkelly2279 can I say British style?
Too bad you have no understanding of the advantages of breathing clean air.
“No understanding” is a bit of a stretch.
