Slip-On Exhaust Tip for Yamaha Bolt (2014-2024) Black with Baffle

High-Flow Shorty Slip-On Exhaust Tip for 2014-2024 Yamaha Bolt (VN07)

What it Does: The Shorty GP Slip-On Exhaust Tip replaces the heavy, restrictive factory silencer on the 2014-2024 Yamaha Bolt to streamline exhaust gas scavenging and deliver an aggressive acoustic profile.

The Stock Yamaha Bolt Exhaust Bottleneck

The factory silencer fitted to the VN07 chassis is exceptionally heavy and relies on multi-chamber internal baffling to stifle exhaust noise. This design builds excessive parasitic backpressure directly off the 1.72" to 1.75" primary collector, causing thermal retention at the rear cylinder exhaust port. Furthermore, the bulky stock canister introduces excessive unsprung-adjacent chassis weight on the right flank, dulling low-speed lean transitions while completely muting the mechanical firing cadence of the uneven 60-degree V-twin crankpins.

The Engineering Solution

This compact GP-style slip-on addresses both thermal retention and backpressure with a direct-fit straight-through configuration. Fabricated from high-grade stainless steel with a high-temperature black finish, this 9-inch unit slips directly over the OEM header pipe for a secure mechanical seal using the supplied heavy-duty band clamp. The assembly features an integrated, removable dB killer catalyst baffle engineered to create optimal backpressure for low-end torque maintenance while suppressing harsh high-frequency rasp, producing a measured sound output of approximately 95 dB. By dramatically reducing exhaust restriction, hot exhaust pulses evacuate the combustion chambers rapidly, decreasing head temperatures under sustained load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit the VN07 Bolt?

Yes, this is a direct slip-on fit for all 2014-2024 Yamaha Bolt models utilizing the factory 1.72" to 1.75" outer diameter header pipes.

Is ECU re-flashing or fuel tuning mandatory after installation?

Fuel mapping adjustments are recommended for optimal air-fuel ratios and horsepower output, but the factory closed-loop EFI system can safely operate with the included baffle installed.
