I have ordered the ceramic black link pipe for my Stealth exhaust. Can I get it sooner than 4 weeks?

Stealth orders, like all exhaust orders, will be despatched based on your shipping choice. If you opted for the upgraded ceramic black link pipe, this can take up to 4 weeks before despatch due to the ceramic coating process. We do have a number of ceramic coated link pipes in stock so if you wish to check on turnaround time for your machine, please get in touch by email or call the office.

What is a media blast finish?

If you live outside of the United Kingdom then you do not have to pay UK VAT (currently 20%).

What is the decibel rating of my exhaust?

It varies between bike models. Our road legal exhausts are manufactured to remain under the UK road legal limit when the baffle is fitted. With the baffle removed it will be louder. Where possible, there are noise ratings on the exhaust option page for your bike model. The basic theory is the smaller and / or shorter the exhaust, the louder it will be. Please note that packing material will wear out over time and your exhaust will get louder.

What type of sealant do I use when fitting?

You can use everyday bathroom and shower sealant as long as it is silicone based. Just use it sparingly around the inlet of the end can and also inside the pipe which mates up with the OEM system. We also stock Wurth silicone sealant which you can add to your order if you prefer.

I have damaged my Fuel exhaust. Can I get it repaired?

Yes, if you require your Fuel exhaust repairing, we can offer the service to do just that. Please email if you require details.

Back to Top

Do I need to get my Fuel exhaust repacked?

Yes regular repacking is recommended. You must get your Fuel Exhaust repacked by us to maintain your warranty.

We recommend a repack around every 2 years or 12k miles, whichever comes first.

Exhausts get louder as the packing material wears out so it will become noticeable.

Do you make bespoke projects and one-offs?

At present we are not taking on any bespoke projects. We can manufacture exhausts to any length required however certain sizes mean that the exhausts can only be built as race cans.

Can I get a high level version for my bike?

We do not produce many high level exhausts unless the standard OEM fitment is mounted in that position or they are shown as available in our webshop.

Does my Fuel exhaust come complete with everything I need?

Yes, each exhaust is supplied with a full fitting kit and easy to follow instructions. All you need is the tools to fit it and a small bit of silicone sealant!

Will I need to rejet or remap my bike when I fit a Fuel exhaust?

No, you should not need to rejet or remap your bike when fitting one of our exhausts providing your bike is as standard. On the odd occasion, some bike models may require some slight adjustments to the standard set-up but this is rare.

As a general rule, when fitting aftermarket exhausts, a dyno test is recommended and if you do choose to rejet or remap, you will see further power gains and improved throttle response.

Our exhausts are designed to fit on motorcycles in standard condition. If you have fitted an aftermarket air filter or already had your bike mapped to a previous exhaust, you will need to get it adjusted to suit the new exhaust.

How easy is it to fit a Fuel exhaust?

All our exhausts are supplied with easy to follow fitting instructions. In the unlikely event of a problem, we are only at the end of the telephone.

What guarantee is supplied with a Fuel exhaust?

We offer a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects on most exhausts purchased directly from fuelexhausts.com or on orders placed over the telephone. For the guarantee to be valid, you must get your Fuel exhaust repacked by us based on the schedule noted in the ‘Do I need to get my Fuel exhaust repacked?’ FAQ above.

Carbon fibre exhausts are guaranteed for one year against manufacturing defects on v-twin and single cylinder motorcycle models.

Parts and consumables such as clamps, gaskets, baffles and mounting brackets are not covered under the guarantee.

The guarantee applies to the original purchaser for that bike and is non-transferable.

Will I need to change the exhaust for an M.O.T?

If you have purchased a UK road legal exhaust then providing the baffle is left in the exhaust you should have no problems with an M.O.T. There are exceptions to this rule, eg. Yamaha MT-10 which is road legal with the baffle in or out.

If you have purchased an exhaust from our race range, then there is no guarantee that this will pass an M.O.T although it is now down to the M.O.T testers discretion. There are a few bikes which are still road legal with the F1R Race fitted and this is detailed on the appropriate bike page. Most F1R Race exhausts are not road legal and are stamped with NOT FOR ROAD USE and will fail an M.O.T.

Back to Top

Is the dB killer / baffle easy to remove?

Yes, the bolt can be removed easily using an allen key on all our exhaust ranges. Occasionally users drop the baffle bolt inside the carbon outlet on the Diablo exhaust. The Diablo range uses a zinc plated bolt and it can be traced out to the hole using a magnet.

Back to Top

Are these exhausts road legal?

If you have purchased a UK road legal exhaust then yes, it is UK road legal when the baffle remains in place. The British Standard reference for road use is stamped accordingly on each exhaust. They are not road legal outside of the UK.

If you have purchased the F1R Race exhaust, unless specified otherwise on the page, it is not road legal and will be stamped indelibly with NOT FOR ROAD USE.
