Your ride back
Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde | The Exhaust is a completely legal exhaust system that complies with European laws and is ECE, EG-BE and TÜV approved. The reason for this is that every Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde system contains a smartbox: this electronic control unit is the brain of the product and contains software that reads CANBUS signals coming from the motorcycle’s ECU.
By committing the system to the parameters set by EU legislation, the Smartbox will seamlessly and subtly intervene if necessary. Riders don’t have to worry about breaking the law in any situation; the system is always legal no matter what sound mode is selected. Our exhaust systems are fully compliant with the latest EURO norm. We care deeply about the environment, so all of our exhaust systems are built to achieve air quality standards.
That being said, we must also understand that we live in a crowded society where we have to accept that we also need to be considerate when it comes to the people around us, people that are maybe not at all charmed by the sound of a rumbling motorcycle. That is why at The Jekill and Hyde Company we offer you the possibility to adjust your sound to the moment. By doing this you can continue to carry out your favorite hobby, without disturbing others.
But do not just take our word for it, ask the proper authorities. Before we release a system it gets thoroughly tested by them and only when they approve it, a Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde | The Exhaust becomes available for your bike.
What do the authorities test? To be 100% legal an exhaust system must meet the set requirements regarding emission, sound and performance.
The specially developed catalysts in our mufflers make sure that this requirement is met. Then there is performance. A Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde | The Exhaust gives you up to 5% more performance while riding with your valve opened*. This is also the legal which ensures that when the valve gets closed to loss of performance barely noticeable, ensuring you a safe ride. Next up is sound.
Finally there is sound. Our software is programmed to intervene subtly and almost imperceptibly when the parameters set by the legislation are reached. This ensures that you are 100% legally on the road in all riding modes. The system comes with a credit-card sized certificate that has your unique exhaust number on it, and states that the system is fully street legal.
*After a tuning this percentage might vary.
They are the people who develop the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde exhaust systems and make sure they are 100% legal: the R&D team. The research and development team designs, develops and tests the exhaust systems. From the moment a bike rolls in, they have the first look and start working from there. All have their specialities, whether it is the performance of the exhaust or the programming of our smartbox. Their collective effort creates the Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde as you know it.

"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."
"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. "
"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."
"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! "
"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 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!!"
"Very good exhaust system - perfect finish and street legal. And Smartbox 2 is awesome!"
"Exquisite fit and finish, well laid out packaging and installation instructions. The adjustable exhaust sound level works flawlessly, and is very convenient to adjust to your mood and environment. The exhaust note is a nice mix of volume and bass tone. To me Exquisite fit and finish, well laid out packaging and installation instructions . The selectable exhaust noise level works flawlessly, and is very convenient to adjust to your mood and environment. The exhaust note is nice mix of volume and bass tone. To me the best sounding R1200 exhaust to date."
"Love my Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde! Street legal, more power and 3 great sound modes with a push of a button. And my bike is 1,5 kg lighter too. Totally worth the investment!"
"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."
“Dust, mud, extreme weather ... I ride a BMW GS as it is meant to be! A motorcycle that breathes adventure must occasionally go off the paved road and offroad! “I used to drive with an exhaust that had only one mode, which means that there was only one sound. This was not really contributing to the driving experience. Driving with a closed valve on the paved road and opening the valve off-road really adds an extra dimension to the driving experience; it feels like I have 3 different exhausts! It is a great concept: if you show it to other people, you get a lot of positive feedback."
"Mr. Hyde position (valve open) is also ideal if I am quietly riding through traffic jams. The heavier sound is more noticeable and combined with a small speed difference it has a huge effect on the reaction of cars and trucks. A clear plus for safety!”
"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."
"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!"
"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!"
"In town, I use the quiet, Dr. Jekill mode. As soon as I leave the city I press the button and switch to dynamic mode, the middle position. I find this sound mode very comfortable. But if the situation asks for it, for example when drivers sticking too close to my license plate, the valve opens to the Mr. Hyde mode. And that sound impresses! With my wife on vacation, only dynamic mode is allowed. But if I am alone then..."
“I love to ride along the shores of Gérardmer Lake (Vosges, France). A beautiful place full of walkers, cyclists and sports enthusiasts. When I drive here I always use the Dr. Jekill mode, which gives me the possibility to ride in stealth mode and not disturb anyone. But when I make my way back on the meandering roads of Col de Bonnefontaine I switch to the Mr. Hyde mode to enjoy the delicious rumble that echoes through the mountains around me and at the same time warn oncoming traffic that I am approaching. Great right?”
"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."
"The name really says it all: Dr. Jekill & Mr. Hyde! Apart from the great workmanship and the fantastic quality, it rounds off the entire look of my R1250GS Adventure TripleBlack perfectly. Then there is this button that turns beauty into a beast! What really impressed me is the possibility to be even quieter than a series with it. And every now and then there is this itch in the left thumb, with the subsequent grin on the face. "
“The Mr. Hyde mode allows me to communicate better with my motorcycle. Due to the different sound modes you get more feedback from your motorcycle, which helps, among other things, to signal when something is wrong with the motorcycle. For example when the tires have to be replaced. Mr. Hyde mode really wakes you up during a long drive or when I go off-road; it activates and motivates you. It gives you a real fighting mentality."
"When you close the valve then the exhaust is quiet but sounds very smooth. Perfect for off road rides in nature or near residential areas. But when you open the valve and open the throttle, then the GS has a beautiful sound. Loud but not too loud, just perfect. It has a nice and dark sound."
"I'm very satisfied with the exhaust! Every time I start my bike and let the deep bass sound rattle, I get goosebumps. It motivates my inner beast to get the best out of my Scout and enjoy the wonderfully pleasant and rough sound- only then I can fully enjoy a perfect motorcycle ride."
