Back in time
Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde
A bit of history
Every success starts out small. Even though Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde is now an established brand within the motorcycle world, it was only a little more than 20 years ago that Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde was merely an idea.
Back in 1997 when the first Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde systems were created the word ‘custom-made’ was the most appropriate term to describe the products. It did not matter which bike you rode, if it was a big cruiser or a racing rocket, an exhaust would be built especially for your bike. Because of the success of these exhaust systems and a good nose for business Jacques van de Kerkhof decided he wanted to invest in The Jekill and Hyde Company, under the condition that it would be professionalized.
From custom to legal
The next step for The Jekill and Hyde Company was to build an exhaust that would be 100% legal and in compliance with European law. The engineers kept working hard on this, but never got to this point, until Jacques met Mario Müller. Mario already had a lot of experience as an engineer in the motorcycle industry. This cooperation finally resulted in the creation of an exhaust system that was 100% legal and in 2010 the European Type Approval was finally obtained. With still only 4 employees working for the company it was time to conquer the European market. The system proved to be successful, especially in countries where the law was strictly enforced regarding illegal exhaust systems, a Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde system was the ideal solution for all those who wanted to experience the ultimate riding feeling, without being afraid to end up on the wrong side of the law.
Branching out
After Europe the step was taken to also provide the rest of the world with Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde | The Exhaust. After offices were set up in Germany, Switzerland and France, the company branched out in Canada, Singapore, Japan and more. Besides exploring new markets, the palette of brands The Jekill and Hyde Company develops exhaust systems for, keeps growing. Where there was first a focus on large big twin bikes like Harley-Davidson, Indian and Victory, it also became clear that more brands could use an upgrade with the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde sound. First the R-series of BMW got added to the roster and subsequently it became possible to equip your KTM with a Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde | The Exhaust.
A lot has happened in the short time from an idea to a well-known brand and a lot has changed, yet the main principle has always stayed the same. The Jekill and Hyde Company still produces exhaust systems with three distinct personalities and keeps giving the motorcycle rider the ultimate riding experience.

"Legal with perfect sound."
Sascha Koerner | Harley-Davidson Fat Boy
"Just WOW! I've had a motorcycle license since I was 18, but I've never bought a bike. My dream was to buy myself a Harley by the age of 40, but it didn't quite work out. But shortly before my 41st I did. The Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde system simply rounds it off, it is pure riding pleasure when you are out and about in Mr. Hyde mode. That's how a Harley has to breathe. Just yesterday, I rode to a gas station, and when I came out again, my bike was being inspected by another Harley rider. I just said, can I help? His answer: just wanted to see what you're riding, it sounds mega, I got to have it. I can just say thank you! Legal with perfect sound."
"No comparison to the original sound."
Andrej | Harley-Davidson Sportster
"Just awesome, no comparison to the original sound. I would never go without a Jekill again."
"Roaring sound and pure performance!"
Walter Wais | Harley-Davidson Sportster
"Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde is the best investment in my bike so far!!! It adds 100% more driving fun. I can adjust the volume according to my needs, and at the push of a button a roaring sound and pure performance. And the best of all it's street legal. Many thanks to the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde Team - great job keep it up!"
"I am a person with emotion - the sound of the motorcycle has to be top notch."
Frank Schelper | Harley-Davidson Breakout
"I've hesitated for a long time to buy a Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust system. This year I finally got the heart to configure and order the exhaust system according to my wishes. After the exhaust system was mounted on my Harley-Davidson Breakout and I picked up the machine, and I was fascinated by the sound after the first 5 km. I haven't regretted my decision since. It's also a wonderful feeling not to be out on the road with an illegal exhaust system anymore. I will continue to enjoy the sound in my ears every mile. This is another reason for me never to buy an electric motorcycle, athough I am convinced that electric motorcycles also have a certain charm. But unfortunately I am a person with emotion - the sound of the motorcycle has to be top notch."
"I can't get the grin off my face anymore!"
Stefan Senkfell | Harley-Davidson Fat Boy
"The best decision I've ever made to have this mega exhaust fitted! There is simply NOTHING BETTER !!! Should be standard on every Harley - I can't get the grin off my face anymore!"
"Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde makes the hair on the neck stand up."
Sportster Forty-Eight Icon | Harley-Davidson Sportster
"When I bought a Harley Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight, it quickly became clear to me that I had to replace the exhaust system. Of course, only one exhaust system was an option for me. The quality, optics and of course the sound of the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde is simply unique on the market and all of this is still 100% legal. I would also like to highlight the great selection of end caps at this point, which allow each customer to customize. The change from the original system to the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust system, transformed my Harley's sound from a lawnmower into a black beast. As soon as the infamous button is pressed, the hair on the neck stands up. Emotions and moments of happiness that Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde gives every motorcycle rider with their products. "
"Legal, but still a beautiful deep Harley sound."
Harley Dutchies | Harley-Davidson Sportster
"I got to know Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde at a motorcycle fair. I was impressed by this exhaust system from the first moment. But after a test drive I was sold. Wonderful to drive being able to play with the sound. The fact that it is legal, but still gives a beautiful deep Harley sound was the deciding factor in choosing Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde and they are also beautiful under my bike, also not unimportant. My bike passed the strict RDW inspection and I can confidently cross the (German) border without worrying. "
"The sound is really perfect!"
Stefan S | Harley-Davidson Fat Bob
"I have installed my second J&H system, first on my HD Custom and since 2018 on my HD FatBob BJ 2018. What can I say, the sound is really perfect, not too loud, but also not too quiet, a bass tone, that fits the bike perfectly. I also looked and listened to other manufacturers, but then decided in favor of J&H. The advice and after sales service at J&H is great and I personally recommend all my biker friends to buy from you! The BEST! "
"This is exactly what a Harley-Davidson should sound like!"
Alessandro Silverfox | Harley-Davidson Sportster Iron 1200
"From my point of view the best sound by far. This is exactly what a Harley-Davidson should sound like, nice and bassy. The Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde increases the driving pleasure by 100% and if you want to be a little gentler on the road, you always have the option to choose between the 3 levels. In addition, the quality and service are unbeatable, in my opinion the BEST system on the market. I don't want to be without them on any machine and would recommend them anytime."
"The unique powerful sound I was looking for."
@dysnrider | Harley-Davidson Sportster
"Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde offers the unique powerful Harley sound I was looking for. Which is more bassy, but still civil enough for daily rides. Even the possibility of adjusting the valves with just a push of a button is very comfortable on longer tours. You get something for the price and it's worth it."
"An experience for my ears and soul!"
Andreas "Harley-Sportster-Lifestyle" | Harley-Davidson Sportster
"It's just awesome I can ride my bike to work at 5 a.m., without getting into trouble with the neighbors! But when I'm on the open road, press the button on the handlebars and the valve in the muffler opens, the show begins! The best sound you can imagine, bassy, muffled, every meter I ride becomes an experience for my ears and soul! Without worrying about a traffic control! I can only recommend: get a system, it is worth every penny."
"Thank you for this simply ingenious exhaust system."
André (@Bluebobber48) | Harley-Davidson Sportster
"I will never forget the moment when my 48 was brought home to me and I pressed the button for the first time. There was an incomparable, bassy sound, as it should be for a Harley. An absolute dream for every Harley rider. For me it is optically and technically by far the best system on the market and I would buy it again 100%. The look is perfect and the riding pleasure is absolutely unique. Thank you for this simply ingenious exhaust system."
"100% legal and yet the full Harley sound."
@strandfahrer | Harley-Davidson Street Bob
"So, What I particularly like about the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust is the deep sound, the quality and that the valve is inside the silencer. I also think it's great that you can change the look of the exhaust afterwards by replacing the end caps. 100% legal and yet the full Harley sound is absolutely great, especially in Germany."
"I feel like I'm the king of the streets."
@mawi_davidson | Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight
"When I ride with my motorcycle I feel free. And when I ride with my Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust I feel like I'm the king of the streets. And when everybody looks at me and give me a thumbs up I know I made the right decision choosing this exhaust system."
"Perfect finish and street legal."
Martin Brunner | Harley-Davidson Fat Boy
"Very good exhaust system - perfect finish and street legal. And Smartbox 2 is awesome!"
"Choose your own style."
@marc_stone82 | Harley-Davidson Sportster Forty-Eight
"If you are looking for a high quality and exactly finished exhaust system which can be modified to your own style you have to choose Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde! On top you also get the possibility to change your sound levels easily by a push of a button."
"A must-have on your bike!"
Thomas Peerlinck | Harley-Davidson Streetbob
"I have my Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust for one year now, 6.500 km on the 2019 Street Bob 107ci stage I with S&S teardrop intake... and VERY HAPPY! Amazing sound, deep, dark and loud, but quiet when necessary (neighbours, city center, horses or small kids around...) all this legal with certificate. This head-turing piece of art is a must-have on your bike!!"
