Cafe Racers are mean stripped down machines which you can lean and hug the tarmac with. They might not be bedazzled with rhinestones but they are classy none the less. The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 is the perfect example. The Continental GT 650 comes with 5 different color tones, but now you can even tweak the pipes of the beast. The custom made exhaust from AEW Performance is tailor-made for the GT 650, and will give you the mature raunchy sound your cafe racer deserves.
5 Shades of GT
Why purr, when you can roar
Royal Enfields have always been a style statement, and even as a child, we could make out the thumping of a Bullet even before we could see it. Now that we are reliving the era of the cafe racers, let's look at the exhaust options you have for your Royal Enfield Continental GT 650.
In this video, the first GT, has a stock exhaust on, while the latter one is the custom exhaust made by AEW performance. So what difference can we expect from the custom exhaust?

The custom exhaust is shorter and less bulky than the stock. This improves the mass distribution of the cafe racer and makes it even lighter.
The AEW custom exhaust has a meatier sound and the tonality improves at higher rev range. You can notice the difference even when the 650 is idling.
The loud pops and crackle of the exhaust are achievable with this custom exhaust.
Yes, I know there are many exotic sports and after-market exhausts (the likes of Akrapovic, Yoshimura, to name a few) which sound even better, but from a cafe racer standpoint, this bad boy from AEW would do just right. The Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 adorned with this new exhaust would make a lot of heads turn and might even redefine the THUMP.
