Beautiful Exhaust
(GA) | July 22nd, 2025
The Jekyll And Hyde Exhaust for my 2024 Harley Davidson Sportser S really compliments the bike. Not only does it sound a thousand times better but looks stunning. I would give it ten stars if I could.

What an exhaust
(Quebec, Canada) | June 17th, 2025
I've had a few bikes but never replaced their exhaust because of our local laws... But comes Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde to the rescue. It is pricey but, the build quality, the look, the sound and the ability to change the sound level is well worth it in my opinion. Speaking of sound, it is quieter than the oem exhaust in the Jekill mode. The hybrid mode sounds sporty without being to loud but, in Hyde mode..... watch out! It is very loud, although quiter than certain other brands but, the low rumble sounds soooo good. VERY happy with this purchase! Thank you for an amazing product

Finally, the exhaust is available for the HD Low Rider ST. Really anxious to receive and get it installed. I do have the exhaust on my BMW R18 and couldn't be happier. Thanks J&H!
Exhaust has never sounded so good
(Virginia, USA) | March 27th, 2025
I had my jekill and Hyde installed here in the USA. The staff and installers was nice and knowledgeable. The “Vox” is magnificent, it’s the beast, it’s the perfect fit for tame and wild. The sound on the Indian Scout 101 has never sounded better. I say that having had S&S and Dean Speed exhausts on this same bike. There’s no comparison.

Vox exhaust
(Canada) | March 20th, 2025
Hello, just very happy and trilled with my new exhaust system. It's a Vox exhaust for the 2025 indian scout 101 and the sound is just badass. Fully recommend, worth the price. Put a smile on my face every time.
Beyond satisfied...
(Canada) | February 10th, 2025
I was putting off buying a Jekill & Hyde since almost a year now and when I changed bike for a brand new 2024 Road Glide, this was my first choice. Let me tell you, those sound clips and videos don't do this exhaust justice. Some sound clips (from this site) and some videos on Youtube are good but nothing great. In person, it's night and day! Valve closed is very much like the stock exhaust, just a tiny bit more sound and a little deeper note. Valve opened, it's a beast. A really deep and rumbling sound, like a Harley should come from factory. Most microphone can't keep up with that and this is why clips/videos don't do it justice. Open, it is pretty loud, even by my standard but wow, this is how it's meant to be! They really earned they're name, a cool and refined doctor, and a beast to unleash when you wanna have fun...

Very happy with purchase to BMW GSA 1200. Sounds great. It was easy to install and it was shipped exceptionally fast....even thru holidays!!!! Highly recommended
Pan America
| December 17th, 2024
Yep, I'm happy. Love the system! It's all good over here. Looks amazing, sound is just what the Dr ordered. One should account for travel in suspension as clips holding cable can be a little close to swing arm. Looks good till you sit on it. Glad I caught it in time not to damage much but paint.

Like an orchestra of sound and beauty!
(Manhattan Beach, CA) | December 5th, 2024
I just had the J&H exhaust installed on 2024 Indian Challenger Limited - the verdict: I LOVE THEM! When looking at the exhaust, yes they are expensive, and one would have to wonder "do they really work"? Well ... they are very much worth the cost and YES, they really work. for perspective, I own 7 bikes of all types and all kinds of exhausts from stock to custom (Indian, Guzzi, Honda, Harley, Triumphs - I own or have owned them all), but my J&H's have to be the coolest system I've ever seen or had. On my Indian, I initially installed a very well known and popular brand of exhaust, but wow .... they were annoyingly way too loud. On prior bikes, I enjoy the free flowing and yes "louder" exhausts, and I've found that at cruising speed, they would calm a bit ... so it was enjoyable. But not so much with this bike or those "other" pipes. They just droned on loud, and ruined my longer rides. I then purchased their "quiet baffles", but ... not much help. Then comes my new Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde pipes .... I love them. And it's not a gimmick, they work exactly as they explain them, and even better. In quiet mode - Dr. Jekill, they are actually even quieter than stock ... riding down the highway at 75 mph, all your hear is nature and natural wind. In loud - Mr. Hyde, they sound so ridiculously good. Loud and proud for sure, but good loud, not annoying loud. In dynamic mode, it's like they say, right in the middle - choice is a wonderful thing I've never seen on a motorcycle quite like this. Even the tech's at my Indian dealership said "they are the best sounding pipes I've ever heard" - and I'm sure they have seen and heard a lot. So ... long story short, the pipes are beautiful, the team was thoughtful when I called and ordered them and they explained them too me, my dealer installed them and said the install went perfect, and now that I'm riding, they sound so incredible ... I'm just so beyond thrilled and stoked! Sometimes you just want to cruise and enjoy the sound of the world and wind, sometimes you don't want to disturb the neighborhood piece, and sometimes you want an awesome growl and the best sound and power - it's so nice to have it all at the touch of a button - that really works!!!! I'm a raving fan, can you tell!?! You'll love them!

Ive purchased already two other exhaust systems from other manufactuers and once received they were either wrong or missing items. Feel extremely excited for this one feel big man upstairs deterred me from those to do things right the first time and purchase this exhaust here. thank you fellas!

Quality Unmatched
| May 24th, 2024
Wow. Love this exhaust system. first of all the sound when it’s in the rumble mode is perfect. People know when your coming and heads turn and try and get a look at what your riding. Then you pull up next to them hit the button and the next second your bike goes into docile mode. But I have to say the quality is absolutely the apex of engineering. I put the system in myself and it took about an hour and half. The video on the internet walks you right through it. The manual that comes with it is one of the first ones that actually spells it out simply. I worked with Chris on getting it delivered to me and they couldn’t be any nicer but actually extremely knowledgeably about what they are selling. I would highly recommend this product to anybody who wants the best system on the market. David

replacement servomotors
(Costa Rica) | May 13th, 2024
I installed my J*H exhausts back in 2015 on my HD Softail Classic Heritage. After almost ten years driving in tropical conditions one of the servomotors failed. After on-line consultation with the factory it was recommended to rather change both servomotors. Same were ordered on-line and arrived without problems in Costa Rica and have in the meantime been installed. Excellent customer service & after sales service and will continue to support this brand for many years to come
Pipes for any occasion

These pipes truly live up to their name, going from loud to stealth with push of a button. Highly recommend!
A Must-buy
(Dallas TX) | May 1st, 2024
From the moment the Jekill and Hyde exhaust arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. The packaging alone set a high standard—pristine condition with an impressive presentation that promises quality. The contents inside did not disappoint. The installation process was a breeze; the instructions were as clear and straightforward as assembling a set of Legos, which speaks volumes about Jekill and Hyde's commitment to customer satisfaction. The true joy came with the first roar of my Triumph Speedmaster after installation. The sound is absolutely fantastic—deep, rich, and exactly what I was looking for. It's clear that Jekill and Hyde take immense pride in their craftsmanship, and it resonates with every rev of the engine. I'm thoroughly pleased with this purchase and I'm certain that my future bikes will be equipped with Jekill and Hyde exhausts too. For anyone looking to enhance their motorcycle's performance and sound, this product is a definite must-buy, you will not regret it!
Great sound options!
(Massachusetts) | April 30th, 2024
Excellent craftsmanship! Installed on a 2024 Fatboy 114. This exhaust is by far the best sounding exhaust when in Hyde mode. I’ve listened to every exhaust and have owned several. This one sounds angry in Hyde mode. Dynamic mode sounds real nice too. Great when you want to relax or take the lady on a nice ride. Jekyll mode is good for neighbors you don’t want to aggravate BUT like I said put it in Hyde mode and bike sounds like a beast :) Ascetically, the exhaust looks great on the Fatboy as well. Great customer service too, I reached out to them to work with my Harley Dealer and they shipped it to them for the install.
