Replace a rusted, dented, or internally-broken exhaust the correct way with the Genuine Royal Enfield Silencer Assembly Kit – Part No. 888209, listed as “Silencer Assembly kit TB350 & 500” for the Thunderbird platform.
This is the OEM silencer kit intended to restore factory-like fitment, backpressure and exhaust note without the common issues seen with generic aftermarket mufflers (misaligned mounts, leakage at joints, harsh resonance, early rust). On older Thunderbirds, a tired silencer can cause excessive noise, reduced pickup, rattling baffles, and visible corrosion, especially if the bike has seen rain or long highway use.
Royal Enfield’s Thunderbird parts catalogue shows 888209 as “Silencer Assembly Kit TB 350 / 500 cc” and indicates the silencer assembly is served in the kit (Ref A2), supporting that this is a genuine kit-level replacement rather than a random universal can.
This listing is deliberately restricted to only the models confirmed below. If your bike is not a Thunderbird 350/500 (NTB), do not order unless your microfiche/parts diagram matches 888209.
