Red Rooster vs AEW vs Gursewak vs Stock: The MEGA Interceptor/Continental GT 650 Exhaust Battle

Are you looking to upgrade the exhaust of your Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 or Continental GT 650 and don't know which one to choose from the many available in the market?

Well, I happened to chance upon the three most prominent aftermarket options available for the Royal Enfield Twins on my ride this Sunday: AEW, Red Rooster and Gursewak.

And the only thing then to do was to line them up and make you hear them.

Red Rooster Performance or RRP as they are also known are a Bengaluru-based performance tuning brand who have made a set of chrome pipes for the Interceptor/Continental GT 650. These cost Rs 19,000. With the baffle they don't get unreasonably loud. RRP can be contacted here: http://redroosterperformance.com/

AEW or Ashu Engineering Works is a Pune-based company that have been designing exhausts for Royal Enfield for long. Their exhaust has a brushed finish, unlike Red Rooster and are a bit more bassy too. They also happen to cost the least in this trio. Rs 15,500.

Gursewak from Delhi look like jet engines from the back, the inside diameter is that big. These don't have the option to install a baffle and are the bassiest of the lot. The ones on the bike that rode with us were brushed finish and were the size of the stock exhaust.

Gursewaks suit the Continental GT 650 more than the Interceptor 650 in my opinion because they seem more racy and purposeful. Cost is again Rs 19,000. You can reach out to Gursewak here: http://gursewakexhaust.com/

And finally, the benchmark. The stock exhaust that these aftermarket units hope to replace. While I think the stock sound is the most mature of the lot, it is a little on the quieter side and the design is not the most appealing either.

This was just a last minute video we shot with my phone and not under the best of conditions. I plan to shoot a video comparing all these exhausts and their pros and cons very soon.

Do leave me a comment below on what you would like to see in that comparison and which of these exhausts do you like the most and why.

As always, thank you for giving me your time.

Ride safe and have a nice day.
