Here is the Jawa exhaust note, if you wanted to hear it up… Also inserted is a video which compares the stock vs modded exhausts…
You may or may not know that one of the biggest reason of Royal Enfield’s massive sales is the exhaust note of its motorcycles. That is why you often hear from their owners that their motorcycles are ‘for men‘, ‘macho‘ and what not. So, exhaust note does play a crucial role in motorcycles specially if we are talking about leisure motorcycling.
Jawa, which has fielded its products in the same segment in which Royal Enfield plays, was also known for the exhaust note of its motorcycles – 2-strokers back then. The new Jawas have ticked a lot of boxes right – including the specs, retro classic looks, feel etc, but how has the exhaust note panned out? Let us hear this video from Autocar…

This modified exhaust note without the DB killer sounds real good, looks similar and it appears that Jawa will offer it as an accessory. But do note that it may not meet the decibel levels so it may not be road legal.
