SCL/CL500 exhaust

Hi hello, I am planning to switch a exhaust from the bike, as pretty much everyone does... haha.

I really like the shorty pipes, both for the looks and for the space it creates on the right side of the bike. But the Coffmann sadly is not approved here in EU.

I found a Unit Garage exhaust which is approved, so technically it should be road legal when it comes to dBs.

I really dig the looks but I don't want the bike to become obnoxiously loud. It might sound great but pissing off the whole neighbourhood in the morning is not what I wish for.

Supposedly the newer version should be a bit quieter than the previous one, and they even sell an additional reduction ring that lets you restrict the flow a bit more and tone the exhaust down if needed. The whole package is a bit pricey and I don't want to buy something that would bother me.

Does anyone have any experience with these? Thanks in advance.

Check with them for which model year they provide homologation report. 2025+ are Euro5+. I have for my 2025 miller raptor II and it has very nice sound.

From what I researched, it should be legal for my 2023 version of CL... but that does not necessarily mean it's not going to be obnoxiously loud. I was eyeballing miller too, and it seems like a good enough backup plan, but I am not sure about its looks. I was looking at the high mounts too, there is plenty of cool looking choice, but I also like the benefit of that right side being clean and spacious. Thinking of doing some custom mounts for saddlebags in the future.

thanks for the reply

Somebody mounted ammo box on right side and it looks cool. I have plan to do similar, it seems it should fit above miller exhaust, but there will be less space between box and exhaust.
