Jardine Exhaust system

[Tal]

I have been browsing around looking at exhaust systems and the Jardine headers took my fancy as being fairly similar lines to the factory look. I like the way the header pipes come straight down and then curve. Different photos on a google search prompted me to send "Jardine" an email and I received this back yesterday.

Thank you for your interest in Jardine.
Sadly we have discontinued the Rocket 3 system and no longer have any pieces parts these days hanging around.

Your best bet would be to find a used one for sale on Ebay or something similar.

Best of luck to you,

So, for any potential lookers wanting Jardine...there it is.
I'm not saying I was ready to buy but wanted to see if the system was still available and to share this with you guys.
If anyone has this system on their Rocket, what do you think of it?

That's old news ....I've had the jardine system....it is LOUD

Yes it is loud, but the baffles are removable, and you can wrap them tighter to tame the noise to a pleasant rumble. Being muffler wrap though it will burn up in time! You may be able if you search find some new old stock. As little as year ago, there were a couple kits lurking around. Surely they've been scarfed up by now, but you never know. And yes, there's alway Fleabay.

I have jardine on my R3T. When I got it installed from the dealer, the whole dealership came out to listen to the sound of it. I love them, they are not too loud but when you give that throttle, it turn heads. The chrome quality is not the best, I got rust the very first year. I called them but they refused to do anything about it. Sound wise, I really love them, they make the Rocket sound like a Rocket. I don't find them too loud, I would say they are just perfect.

I combined a set of Jardine mufflers with the CES headers and like it and I gained 8hp

@Mittzy did you sell your reconditioned Jardine headers yet after deciding to reuse the mufflers?

I have a set too but just the headers. They do come with a complete set of chrome heat shields with even more coverage than the stock R3 ones which are pretty complete coverage too. The pipes themselves do surface rust underneath the chrome covers, mine came from Kentucky USA. I got them because they were cheap I offered US$100 and paid US$75 post to Australia as I may get another Rocket for a chair someday.

Folks say due to the design they are not as good flow and performance wise as other aftermarket headers but better than stock. They do not fit up directly to the stock collector though, so either second hand Jardines or a single RHS muffler would need to be matched up to them.

@Tal If you want them they are yours at cost plus postage and Paul would be able to make a link and or a single pipe to suit.

Yeah, I meant the Y crossover pipe piece, is that what is attached directly to your CES and did you have the CES made especially to match or get an joining adapter/custom piece made?
