Healtech ESE SW with stock exhaust

Does anybody have the Healtech ESE SW with the stock exhaust? Or even with a slip-on?

I'm looking to improve the exhaust sound to more open/throaty (but not too loud). With the extra switch to open/close/auto the exhaust valve, it is an interesting idea to me, but what's the reality?

Assuming you're discussing the GT. The reality is no slip on will make a sound difference unless you remove the Cat and Res by opting for a full exhaust replacement. Most riders here I believe are using M4 or Brooks. I opted for Yoshimura since I thought the others are 'wake up the neighbors' loud but the Yosh from my experience is a perfect blend of sound and performance. Also as one member here pointed out (which I really like) Suzuki and Yosh is like peanut butter and jelly :cool:

With a Full exhaust system replacement (regardless of brand) you will require a retune of the ecu. I recommend the use of the Healtech ESE even though you 'should' be able to tune it out but for some reason on this machine it may still turn on an error code without it.

Good Luck. Kick stands up, rubber side down!

I appreciate the shoutout and honestly, if I was to do it again, I might get the Yoshi system instead. Don't get me wrong, the M4 sounds great, but I think I'm getting old or something because I'm catching myself thinking it's a bit too loud. The DB insert works well to tame it down a bit, but I would still love to hear the Yoshi system in person sometime, somehow.
