Status report. About 250 miles on the Barkers in the last 2 days. And it’s badass. Sounds killer. And definitely improved performance. Highly recommend.

To avoid that type of cracking every once in a while, it is good to loosen the exhaust bolts header back and then tight them back up starting from the header to the muffler. This can happen to any exhaust. Hyoed to see some more drz content dude. Made me want to go for a ride.

I talked to Dave (the owner at Barkers) and he suggested I do a 1x3 instead of a 3x3. I was hoping to get your opinion on this because you’re who I look to for advice for my ‘24 Drz400sm and I don’t have any friends 🤷♂️ I ordered a black pipe with blue label and blue tip. Thanks for your videos!! This video convinced me to go Barkers instead of anything else. I’ll make it my profile pic after the pipe gets put on next month. I got a jet kit and a k&n filter as well. Thanks again for all of the time and attention to detail you put in your awesome videos!

Thanks man! Well I’m sure he knows his stuff! Ha. A 1x3 would essentially be just removing the snorkel. That near the size of the opening with no cutting. SoCal Supermoto sets his bikes up this way also. You could start there. Kind of hard to put material back once you remove it. You could start with the snorkel removed. And if you need more air, open it up. 💪🏼

I have been thinking about changing out the exhaust in my DRZ400s, but I would only do it for performance improvements and fitment with my skid plates/radiator guards as I spend 90% of my time off road on trails. So I wonder if that Barkers header would fit under my protection?

I believe it would. I have rad guards. And it doesn’t interfere. And the way the head pipe comes out up high, it would probably clear guards.
