Feedback Needed on Radiant Cycles Shorty GP Exhaust

I’ve been looking into upgrading my bike’s exhaust system and I came across the Radiant Cycles Shorty GP Exhaust. I’ve heard that these setups can really enhance both performance and sound, particularly for those of us who prefer a compact style. However, I’m curious about a few things:

Performance Improvement

  • Has anyone installed this exhaust on their bike? What kind of performance improvements have you noticed?
  • Does it really make a difference in power delivery, especially in the mid to high RPM range?

Sound Quality

  • I love a good throaty roar from my bike, but I’m worried about how loud it might be. How does it sound compared to stock? Is it too loud for daily riding or just the right amount?

Installation Tips

  • How difficult is the installation process? Are there any specific tools or skills required? Any tips for someone who might be a bit of a novice?
  • Is there anything critical to know before diving into the install?

Durability & Build Quality

  • Have you had any issues with the exhaust after installation? I’m looking for something that will hold up well with regular use, especially in varied weather conditions.

Purchase Options

  • If you recommend this exhaust, where have you found the best deals? Are there any trusted retailers that you’d suggest?

I’m open to any feedback – personal experiences, general advice, or even alternative exhaust recommendations. Looking to make a solid choice here!

I’ve had the Radiant Cycles Shorty GP Exhaust on my bike for about a month now. The horsepower increase is noticeable, and the throttle response is much sharper. It’s definitely worth the investment!

That’s great to hear! I’m thinking about getting it for my bike as well. Did you notice any change in torque after the installation?

4

Yes, the torque has improved significantly. I can feel it in the low-end power; it pulls much stronger out of corners now. Makes a rides a lot more fun!

That’s awesome! How is the build quality of the exhaust? Is it holding up well?

The build quality is top-notch! It’s lightweight, and the finish still looks like new. No rattles or issues at all since I installed it.

Perfect! But how about the noise level? Is it too loud for everyday riding?

It’s definitely louder than the stock exhaust, but in a good way! It adds a nice growl without being uncomfortable for daily rides. Everyone comments on how great it sounds.

That’s reassuring! Still considering it, but I want to make sure it’s not obnoxious.

Definitely! Just make sure to have the right tools and take your time. It’s a simple install and really enhances your bike’s performance and sound!

Thanks for the advice! I think I’ll pull the trigger on this exhaust. Hope it lives up to the hype!

I recently installed the Radiant Cycles Shorty GP Exhaust and the sound is incredible! Way deeper and more aggressive than the stock exhaust. It really opens up the bike’s character.

15

That’s awesome to hear! I was debating between this and another aftermarket option. How does it compare when you rev it up? Does it get raspy or stay deep?

16

The shorty GP has a nice growl when you open it up. Definitely more pronounced than stock! I’d say it hits a sweet spot between sporty and refined sound-wise.

17

Love that description! I want something that sounds aggressive but not obnoxious. Does it drone a lot on the highway?

In my experience, it doesn’t drone at all. You can ride comfortably without fatigue, which is a huge plus for longer rides.

I’ve been curious about the weight reduction too. Does the sound volume improve the overall riding experience, in your opinion?

That’s great to know! I’m picky about annoying noises, so I’m glad to hear it. Does anyone know how it holds up over time?
