Exhaust Modification for KLX

[LED Kev]

I have new done the bars, rear sprockets, seat is in progress , bike is getting destrsricted so i am now thinking of the exhaust.

Any suggestions from any one.

Also, if i buy an after market one - is it worth it, do you really get much of a performance increase from it

cheers Kevin

It'll sound good which will make you think there's a performance improvement, but realistically, not sure it will make a material difference for trail riding.

From what I gather (I have a friend in Indonesia who did a lot of mods to his KLX) changing the header to a larger diameter and getting an after market (locally made) end can makes a big difference.

Original exhausts are built to let the bike pass the legislations -this makes them very restrictive and also extremely heavy due to all internal baffles etc, with an after market end can you will lose 2-4 kilo and let the exhausts out a lot quicker (and noisier).

According to my mate doing the header and can changes made the largest impact of all the mods he did to his bike.

Well, I decieded i liked the noise, so went for a complete system

Decised on the HOME MOTOR (Thai system) - everyting installed for only 5K







Excellent work and service and includes a removable baffle so you can choose laod or throaty

It also feels like it goes faster

Hi Ally

Sorry I am not around from here, Its near the X center; GPS Position: N18 54.606' E098 55.069'

I ordered it the day after the toy run and they fitted it on sunday in about 40 mins

Thanks very much.

Looks very professional Kev, does it make a performance difference?

Hi phil

Yes they did a great job

I think it makes a difference - it's a lot lighter than the old one and I think the expansion parts helps.

As I have added a bigger sprocket and desrestricted the bike it hard to see a massive change with each addition, but I feels it responds better and has better pick up

One thing is for sure, it is completely different from the original bike
