The decision of whether to replace the Red Rooster silencer with the stock silencer or continue using it ultimately depends on your personal preferences and priorities. Here are a few factors to consider:
Sound and aesthetics: The Red Rooster silencer is known for producing a louder and deeper exhaust note compared to the stock silencer. If you enjoy the enhanced sound and find it appealing, you might prefer to continue using it. However, if you prefer a quieter exhaust note or if the loud sound is not suitable for your riding environment, switching back to the stock silencer might be a better option.
Legal considerations: It's important to ensure that the aftermarket silencer complies with the local regulations and noise restrictions in your area. Some places have specific laws regarding exhaust noise levels, and using a non-compliant silencer could result in legal issues or fines. Make sure to check the local laws and regulations to ensure compliance.
Performance and fuel efficiency: Aftermarket silencers can sometimes have an impact on the performance and fuel efficiency of the motorcycle. While the Red Rooster silencer might provide a marginal improvement in terms of power and torque, it could potentially affect the fuel efficiency of your Royal Enfield Classic 350. If maximizing fuel efficiency is a priority for you, switching back to the stock silencer might be a better choice.
Warranty considerations: Installing aftermarket components, including silencers, can potentially void the warranty provided by the manufacturer. If your motorcycle is still under warranty and you're concerned about preserving it, using the stock silencer is advisable.
Consider your personal preferences for sound, local regulations, performance, fuel efficiency, and warranty implications to make an informed decision. Additionally, you may want to consult with authorized Royal Enfield service centers or experienced mechanics who can provide guidance based on their expertise and knowledge of your specific motorcycle model.
