Triumph Scrambler 400X Yoshimura Exhaust Install: The Sound It Was Missing

Stock Sound and Initial Impressions

• 🏍️ The Triumph Scrambler 400X is introduced with its stock exhaust, described as "little puttery, a little low, not terrible" but lacking inspiration due to emissions regulations.
• ⚠️ The stock sound is characterized as having "low expectations" and is a point of dissatisfaction that the video aims to fix.

Yoshimura Exhaust Unboxing and Design

• 📦 The Yoshimura exhaust arrives, and upon unboxing, its design is noted as being different from the "stereotypical Yoshi thing."
• ✨ The exhaust features a striking gold accent that is expected to look very good on the motorcycle.
• 🛠️ Yoshimura is praised for providing all necessary hardware, individually packaged, making the installation process straightforward.

Installation Process and Weight Comparison

• 💨 The old dual exhaust is removed, revealing it to be significantly heavier than the new single Yoshimura exhaust, estimated at 60% less material.
• ✅ The installation of the new Yoshimura exhaust is described as super simple and straightforward.

New Exhaust Sound and Performance

• 🔊 The first cold start with the new Yoshimura exhaust is performed, with the idle sound noted as "not ridiculous" but desired to be deeper.
• 🔥 After warming up, the exhaust note gains character, transforming the bike's sound to what it "needed."
• 🚀 A test ride confirms the transformation, with the bike's sound described as evolving from a "small little kid" to a "small little kid that started going to the gym and started eating the protein."

Final Review and Recommendation

• 👍 The Yoshimura exhaust is highly praised for its improved sound and aggressive look.
• 💡 While parallel twins often transform with exhaust upgrades, this single exhaust makes the Scrambler 400X sound "a little meaner and a little deeper," which is a definite improvement.
• 💯 The install is deemed incredibly easy, leading to a strong recommendation for Scrambler 400 owners, especially over the OEM option.
