Is replacing a bullet silencer good for the health of your engine?

When you think of Royal Enfield, the thump and roar sound of the exhaust is the first thing that comes in your mind. The craze of an after-market bullet silencer is not new among Royal Enfield enthusiasts. But with strict pollution control rules in India, stock silencers of recent bullet models are designed to minimize gas emission and exhaust sound. It is often advisable to change your stock silencer with an after-market one only if your bike has traveled more than or at least 5000kms. As it may mildly affect your engine’s performance if you tend to change the silencer much earlier than the aforesaid limit.

• Provide more versatility.

You will find more versatility in after-market silencers then stock ones in terms of shape, size, weight, and finish. With few variations and modifications to the type of material used for exhaust pipe construction, you can alter the overall performance of your bike.

If you are thinking of replacing your bullet silencer with a modified one always remember the role of back pressure. This is the most important factor which affects the power delivery of your engine. The lesser is the back pressure, the louder the sound of a silencer. Always make sure to check the amount of back pressure when you purchase an aftermarket silencer. If your Royal Enfield silencer doesn’t provide enough back pressure, then it is going to hamper your engine’s performance in the future.
