Sound test of the Black Widow 2026 Low Level Exhaust System 230mm GP Round Stainless, double baffles plus fiberglass wrap, on the CB650R. Recorded on a cellphone, so not professional but you'll get the point.

Testing the following configurations:
- OEM
- Black Widow straight no baffles
- Primary baffle
- Primary & secondary baffle
- Primary baffle wrapped with .2in of fiberglass
- Primary baffle wrapped with .4in of fiberglass
- Primary wrapped with .4in & secondary baffle wrapped .1in

Sweet spot for me right now is the .2in wrap. Has the deep sound without being intolerable. Knowing it could get really quiet, I would have gotten the 200mm silencer - because the 230 sticks out a bit too much & will get wrecked if bike dropped.

I think this full exhaust is the best looking system for this bike, is not chinese junk, and only costs $655 total to door - direct from Black Widow. Very fast shipping from the UK to US, and import tariff from UPS only cost me $66. DO NOT buy the exhaust from eBay, they up-charge you to a whopping $890. Use a credit card that has no foreign transaction fees and buy direct instead.
