2003 Suzuki Hayabusa | Devil Full Exhaust | Walk-around | Cold Start | Idle | Rev | Redline |

Here is my 2003 Suzuki Hayabusa. Just recently installed this Devil 4-2-1 full exhaust system. I actually had purchased the Devil dual high mount Full exhaust system (4-2-2) in the same carbon finish, but the ebay seller returned it because apparently I did not respond in time to their question asking if I wanted them to send/ship it to me, which of course I did, that's why I purchased it in the first place. As you can imagine this was extremely frustrating, as I had been searching for that exact system for awhile, thinking I'd never see one for sale, being that the dual high mount option was rarely purchased (from what I can tell based on scarcity of them in the used market compared to the single pipes, probably due to a higher cost when new and the high mount being a less traditional design/look) and haven't been in production since early-mid 2000's, I believe. Devil only makes ATV and UTV exhausts now, looking at their website.

Technically speaking, the first-gen Hayabusa makes a couple (maybe even a few, lol) more horsepower running a 4-2-1 (single muffler) system when compared to the 4-2-2 (dual mufflers), but honestly I'd much rather have the dual mufflers for the look and sound, especially because the bike came with (albeit heavy and quiet) dual mufflers from factory.

Before installing the Devil full system, I had put on two bolt-on 'Scorpion' brand mufflers, but they were just as quiet as the stock ones, with a slightly different (maybeee deeper) rumble at low rpms, and a very noticeable loss of tone and aggression in the high rpms, taking away that signature Suzuki scream and rev-limiter/redline bounce sound. A shame, really, as they weren't exactly cheap, and the reason I bought them in the first place (besides the fact that they were bolt-on instead of slip-on) is because one of if not the best, most unique exhaust tones/sounds I have ever heard was from a long Scorpion muffler on a Triumph 600T, which if I'm not mistaken is a 4-cylinder, not a triple, so the unique quality and characteristics wouldn't be due to the number of cylinders. Man, that bike/muffler combo sounded so good.

Anywho, I think the bike is stock (of course not counting the change from factory tires) other than the Devil full system. No extended swing arm, no underglow (well, actually, there is an LED controller that's not hooked up underneath the drivers seat, lol). Just replaced the rectifier, and the fork seal is bad on one side, but it's a $700 part, and I'd want to do both if I was going to do it, so that will have to hold off for awhile. The bike runs well, and should be pushing right under 200HP with the addition of the full exhaust.

Thanks for watching!!
Take care,
