5/5

Sound is just thunder (IKAZUCHI) !

[How is it used?
I installed it on a 2021 Ninja 400.
I purchased this product not for the purpose of performance improvement, but to personalize the exhaust sound and appearance.

Was the one you received as per Image?
The exterior was as shown in the Image.
However, I was surprised when I held it, the lightness is more than Image!

Was the installation difficult?
This was my first time replacing the Exhaust System, but there was nothing in particular that troubled me.
Although Manufacturer recommended that we have it installed at a store, I think anyone can do the work if they read the Instruction Manual carefully.

How was your experience with it?
Sound at Idling is the best!
Of course it feels great when you blow it up, but it feels even better when waiting at traffic lights or driving at low speeds because of the heavy bass sound!
BlackTitanium is also a mat color, giving it a subdued appearance.
We like the sound, but we are more satisfied with the cool look of the product.

[Included Parts:were they on?
There is nothing else to buy besides what is included in the package.
The only thing I would say is tools.

[Was there anything that disappointed you?
I have not found anything disappointing or unsatisfactory so far.

Overall, I am satisfied with the Large change!
If I ever switch Motorcycles, I would buy these Items again! View detail

Want to ride it; buy this. Want to rev it at a traffic light; buy the racing version.

I own the race version of this exhaust, plus the optional baffle, and now this "Government Certified" variant. So, I have tried them all on the Z H2. This version is louder and better sounding than the ridiculously heavy and quiet stock exhaust, while not being obnoxiously loud. The black one (my other is titanium) looks much better on the green/black Z H2 (the titanium's blue tip really doesn't work with the green). The silencer itself weighs about 2kg (the race is 1.5kg and 1.7kg with baffle), which is a massive improvement over stock and a negligible difference to the race version. It sounds good most of the time (deeper than stock, with a nice growl on the throttle) with the exception of fast idle when warming up, where it does an unfortunate impersonation of castanets; not really a problem as it goes away after warm-up. As I have both variants, I am using the race's connecting pipe (silencer to stock headers) as it does not have the catalyst that is present in the govt certified version. If you don't want the catalyst there to melt your right foot, you can gouge it out, or ask Trickstar nicely to give you the race connecting pipe (which is otherwise identical) instead. I have never used the cat. connecting pipe, so can't comment on its effect. On that subject, Trickstar is not particularly forthcoming on the details of their products, so after reading this you will know more than you could possibly learn from their website, which, in my view, is not acceptable when they are asking us to part with so much money for these items. Compared to the race version, this is considerably quieter. However, the bike also runs noticeably better with the govt certified exhaust. By "better", I mean the idle is smoother, power delivery is more linear and it seems more torquey (which could be my imagination due to the smoother power delivery). So, clearly, the bike is not fueling as well with the race exhaust. While the exhaust noise is less, I can hear more of the engine and induction noise, which is nice as it's a good-sounding engine. I'm not talking about the supercharger chirp (although that is also more apparent) but the engine's delicious turbine-like howl, which I can't hear with the race exhaust. I put the race exhaust back on my bike this morning, just to remind me why I forked out so much cash to replace it, and within a few kilometers I was looking forward to reinstalling this one, which I did as soon as I got home. I definitely find the bike more enjoyable to ride with this govt certified version. I did a 2200 kilometer ride with this exhaust on last week, and the race version would have been quite annoying over that distance. View detail

An intermediate Pipe was sent to me that was not adapted.

It was fast from the time I purchased it to the time it arrived, and it was shipped in two days. I was satisfied with the quick response up to that point, but when it arrived, it was a big surprise.

The product was well packaged, no scratches, and looked as if it contained everything I needed, but once I assembled it, the middle Pipe and Silencer did not fit together, so I wondered how to put it on or if I actually needed to install it on my Motorcycle. The next day, I asked a motorcycle mechanic friend to help me install it, but the middle pipe did not fit with the silencer. When I asked the mechanic's boss, he told me that the intermediate pipe was different. The part of the middle pipe that attaches to the silencer is not a mountain, it is just a pipe. So when I installed it, it was loose enough that I could hang the attached spring by hand.

When I contacted Manufacturer, they said the intermediate Pipe was wrong, but they said they would send the missing item directly through webike.
So I emailed webike for a return or exchange, but I have not heard from them. I also tried to call them, but there was no sign of an answer. I'm sure they're busy, but this is a high-priced product, so I hope they'll take care of it.

I'll keep an eye on it for a while, but I feel like I've been tricked by a fox. I recommend that you buy from a manufacturer or motorcycle store that has a good aftercare program, not just because the price is low. View detail
