Great product! 👍🏼

Overall, great product. Only issue was seating piping to stock exhaust. Used a hammer with a shirt wrapped around it as I don’t have a mallet. Worked well.For $90 I don’t think you will find a better exhaust. Looks great and sounds fantastic compared to stock. It also weighs less.I tested stock exhaust then no muffler, after installing I recorded with and without dB killer. Sounds amazing without. Highly recommend

Pros
  • Lightweight construction for improved handling
Cons
  • It may not be compatible with the bike's electronic systems

Worth every penny (2019 Ninja 400 (the one with fairings))

I bought this exhaust at $70. This thing is A+ I am really impressed with it! I'm not sure if they updated the down-pipe diameter because mine fit snug but smooth, there was no need for pipe extenders or mallets anywhere on this install like mentioned in previous comments. I was able to line up the exhaust and secure it in about half an hour or so with a 10mm socket wrench and a pair of pliers. Fair warning the package did not come with instructions but its pretty simple to figure out. The…

Pros
  • Incredible addition to my bike!Sounds great! Loud and that warble !! Take out the baffle!😄
Cons
  • It may give your bike an unbalanced, top-heavy feel

Very easy install! Just look at the pics from the other peoples posts. One thing I did was buy the exhaust expander. I only need to turn a few times! Don’t want to over do it ! For the other piece of pipe. I just sprayed a little chain lube on and used a block of wood and tapped it with a hammer to go down. After it was on it was easy to turn. You must line up the pipe inline where the springs connect for proper fit. Mine was turned so I had to re adjust . Once aligned perfect! Also there are…

Pros
  • Reduces weight of the bike for improved fuel economy
Cons
  • It may not fit properly on bikes with aftermarket fairings or bodywork

Perfect sound. You can't go wrong with this slip-on.

I've had this exhaust for almost a year now and I have nothing but good things to say about it. First off the sound, well, it's what I love most about my bike now. Before it sounded like a sewing machine, now it sounds alot meaner and beefier. The welds have held up great on my exhaust, unlike some other reviews have stated. The install was very easy. I have no experience on motorcycles and from the time I unpacked everything and got finished installing it was roughly 15-20 minutes. Needless to

Pros
  • Definitely makes the bike sound better
Cons
  • It may not improve fuel economy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks and sound like it cost several times more.

I've had the little Ninja 400 for 6 days as of the time of this review. I just installed muffler this evening so I thought I would give a veteran rider's opinion. 1st and foremost mounted with the baffle in it sounds and looks great. It's a deep thumper like sound but not annoying loud like a full race pipe or too dirt bike like as many of the other pipes are. This is how it should of sounded stock in my opinion. Another good reason not to remove the baffle is the fueling is already lean off…

Pros
  • Easy to install.
Cons
  • It may not give a significant weight reduction

More than Expected!

This product sounds amazing, compared to the OEM on my 2020 Kawasaki Ninja 400. Wasn't sure what to expect, however this did not disappoint. I would like this to last only time will tell! A matching heat shield would benefit this to be sold as package deal. However placing order for one now! The pending order took forever but once shipped it arrived fast; Thanks UPS.Thank you seller and all involved getting it here!

Pros
  • great sound! The springs are a bit hard to install, but the rest is pretty straightforward.
Cons
  • It came Missing the db killer and i dont really care for the loud straight pipe sound

Mid pipe diameter too small for 2018 Kawasaki ninja 400

I bought this for my 2018 Kawasaki ninja 400 to replace the stock original muffler. it’s called a ‘slip on’ for a reason, but it DID NOTTT SLIP ON! The mid-pipe that comes with this did NOT fit and had to be modified/stretched. What should have taken me 30 mins ended up taking me half of the day, plus I had to pay more out of pocket to have the mid-pipe modified and then installed on my bike. Sounds and looks good and also a decent price. I would like to add, since I’ve been riding with this…

Pros
  • Great sound compared to the stock muffler
Cons
  • It may not be compatible with other aftermarket modifications

Amazing slip on for the money

Although I accidentally purchased this slip on which is for a ninja 400 for my old ninja 300 on accident, I was able to make it work with no real issues and its a fantastic sound and look for only $70 and even better it has allowed for my 300 to spit flames which is pretty dope too

Pros
  • Provides improved handling and stability at high speeds
Cons
  • It may not match the bike's original aesthetic

Fits perfect ninja 400

I got to say. For 90$ is 100% worth it. The quality is good. Fit perfect in my ninja 400. Looks like this middle pipe fits super easy. Only 5 minutes to install. Sonds loud and nice and looks clean

Pros
  • Enhanced exhaust note for a more aggressive sound
Cons
  • It may require specialized tools for installation

For the money you can't beat it.

We were stuck waiting for the Yoshimura full system to come in so in the mean time we got this and it surprised us with the sound quality and fitment.

Pros
  • Good for the price you get what you paid but definitely it sounds way better and louder
Cons
  • It may not be street legal in certain states or countries

Sounds great on my review.

Was a real pain in the ass to get on. Chose to beat the mid pipe on rather than get the pipe expander. Other than that installation was simple.Sounds great. To me, absolutely worth it. I'm not racing or looking for horsepower, just wanted a better sound than stock.

Pros
  • Compliance with EPA and CARB emissions regulations
Cons
  • It may not improve exhaust flow efficiency

Nice and loud. - my new review

Much better than the stock tip. Very loud with a chunky sound. Video doesn't do it justice. Can't do much better if you're on a budget.

Pros
  • Improved throttle response for a more agile ride
Cons
  • It may cause the engine to lose power or stall

What more could you ask for?!

Lord oh mighty! This baby is amazing! Much louder without the baffle! No need to spend more than $100 on a exhaust! Thanks for attention.

Pros
  • Increased horsepower and torque for improved acceleration
Cons
  • It may generate a louder exhaust note than desired

Great for the price

Bought this due to the price. Didnt/don't expect much. The sound is pretty good. Overall quality seems to be as expected. Only thing I didn't like was there were no instructions. Though I was able to figure it out from looking at pictures of other people's ninja 400s with it on.

Pros
  • Good sound for good product
Cons
  • It may not be as durable as the original exhaust system

$90 Never sounded so good

The ninja 400 is my first bike and I thought it sounded good stock. The second you pop this on It's a whole new world. My favorite is in second gear on deceleration you get so many burbles and small pops. If you go rid of the cat or got any set of headers it would be insane.It's loud without the baffle but It's a good trade off. IMO the bike stock is way to quiet almost dangerously quiet.Installation was a breeze. if you use grease to slip on the mid pipe it will make your life so much…

Pros
  • Lowers the overall noise level of the motorcycle
Cons
  • It may not be as easy to detach as the stock exhaust system

Good value and easy install

Easy install. Watched a couple youtube videos to get the general idea. Bought the Harbor Freight pipe expander but didn’t need it has everything slipped together without a hitch. I am running with the baffle and it is a little louder than stock which is fine with me. I mostly bought it for the weight savings, some extra room for my right foot on the pegs and the cool factor. Don’t know if it has improved or reduced performance as I didn’t feel much of a change in acceleration.

Pros
  • Enhanced design for better heat dissipation
Cons
  • It may create an unpleasant drone while riding

Now that sounds like a bike

Bought a 2021 ninja 400 a few months ago. This is my first bike and wanted to start small. After a few people saying it sounded like a scooter I did some research on bolt on exhausts and found this unit. I watched a few videos online and was prepared for the install. Took about 10 minutes. Wow what a difference. Sounds amazing. I am running it without the baff installed but that's my preference. It's not ear popping loud or annoying it just Sounds how the bike should have stock. The factory…

Pros
  • Easy maintenance with simple cleaning procedures
Cons
  • It may create an uneven power delivery

Did I really pay under $100 for this awesome upgrade?

Looks awesome and sounds great! Had it installed and was back on the road all in under an hour. Can’t beat this one for the cost, in fact, no one believes how little it cost for the quality and sound.

Pros
  • I was very impressed with the sound this put out, made my little ninja 400 sound great!
Cons
  • It may affect the warranty of your bike

Fitting issue fixed!

This exhaust sounds great , they fixed the fitting problem everyone is talking about mine went on w/o having to beat it with a hammer and wood didnt have to push on it with alot of force awesome for the money. Only negative is they sent the wrong decal for the exhaust i ordered the yello and white one but they sent the other brand kinda dissappointed.

Pros
  • Match perfect with no adjustments.
Cons
  • It may not be as visually appealing as other exhaust systems

Sounds good, but failed after 3 months.

sounds good, a little difficult to install and didnt have any instructions, but was able to figure it out. In the beginning I would recommend it. Had it for 3 months now and the welding failed when I was on a ride and the neck that slipped on to my existing pipe separated and now need to either have it re-welded or replace the exhaust.

Pros
  • For $68 dollars, what is there to complain about?
Cons
  • It may require frequent maintenance or cleaning
