Buell Jardine vs. Hawk Exhaust

This is a comparison of the Aluminum Jardine RT-1 slip-on exhaust vs. the Hawk Exhaust by Randy Hawkins. My bike is an 07 Buell XB9SX Lightning. The bike was tuned using ECMSpy and Megalog Viewer for the Jardine to get rid of decel popping.

I Think the Hawk exhaust sounds like an V8 lol..

@TheXENitz At higher RPM it sounds like a NASCAR on two wheels!

Hawk appears to be much louder to the ear, is that true?

[Blaylock1988]

@luisbaltazar1 No, I think it is a little bit quieter than the Jardine. I was able to set off car alarms with the Jardine, but no longer with the Hawk. It is better this way.

@kb4488 haha, check out my other video: Buell XB9SX Tail Chop and Radiantz LED Tail Light

Hawk in person sounds like crap, plus they are always needing painted, Jardine has a nice bark to it but be prepared to repack it several times a year. Drummer SS was my choice, still has the best sound to me.

hawk sounds best

[Tappedout1000]

Tht Hawk sounds awesome! I love tht deep throat sound!

[TheXENitz]

@Blaylock1988 must be awesome!

Hawk sounds too much like a harley with drag pipes

[gotboost2jz]

Jardine sounds much better IMO. Much smoother, both at idle and under throttle
