To meet emission rules, most new motorcycles have a catalytic converter and an oxygen sensor. The exhaust also shapes the engine's character and sound level.

- A leaking [exhaust gasket](https://motorsikletparcasi.com/en/glossary/gasket) between header and cylinder causes popping and ticking; renew it whenever the exhaust is removed.
- A holed or rusted silencer raises the noise level.
- With aftermarket (performance) exhausts, check noise limits and homologation (road-legal approval).
