I have... nothing positive to say, so I'll just leave being glad I'm not riding near you.

ok,I am going to bite and ask why?
Too loud?

You'll find that most folks on this board like tasteful modifications. Nice gentle exhaust tones etc.

My assumption is, that since Tim isn't a fan of un-muffled exhaust he doesn't quite prefer your modification.

LoL....I kind of figured that was the case.
Its really not too bad when cruising,but does get loud in the upper rpm range.
The pipes are baffled.
But to each their own.

Gatta go with kreylin on this. If that's not too loud, you need or will need your hearing checked, soon. My can is a little loud, that will be heard for miles. Lets see how the cops like it first. Looks good though.

I'm not putting judgment on you or your choice...


But for me, yeah... that's WAY too loud. I do prefer a good sounding tone, moderate noise level at the max. I don't mind hearing the exhaust, but it should sound good. If people are turning their heads with nasty looks when they hear it, instead of giving a grin... yeah, it's not a good sound.


That's not to say I haven't done something like that. Extremely loud exhaust, having to use aspirin after a ride with ear plugs, making Harley riders with straight pipes check their bike is still running when I pull up beside and then gape wide eyed at me cause they can't their own bike anymore... been there, done that... and learned from it.


It will get old... Hopefully before you damage your own hearing, gain too much unwanted attention from the Po po, or worse... some vindictive neighbor that can't handle the interruption of their normal lives every time you crank that thing up and starts doing revenge stuff.


Just don't be that douche that spends more time over revving the engine at stop signs and parking lots than riding the bike normally now that you have a loud exhaust. If your are, then I will secretly wish it ends like this...


*warning - turn your volume down!*

OMG was he trying to blow it up? Sounded like it was at redline. Something I heard or was told was to never rev out an unloaded engine.

[GSXFJim]

Ya, wow... that's loud.

I hear guys with this style of exhaust riding by my house in second gear all day long.. I just want to open fire on them.

Well said Krey,and I can appreciate it.
No,I am not like the guy in the video you shared....that was just crazy!
I am used to loud exhaust on just about every vehicle we have (supercharged Focus,Turbo Focus,5.0 Cougar with 150 shot) and really like the performance oriented sound.
I have a lot of respect for the neighbors as well and will start the bike at a distance if it is not a appropriate time to fire it up.
This is a vastly different forum than I am used to.
Very cool that even though we have different tastes in exhaust,it didn't resort to a flame thread as so many other forums would have.
Will probably post another video once it stops raining,I really dont think its that loud,but I could be wrong.

[soulpatch]

well then allow me. Sounds like shit.

Too loud for the bike and the exhaust note is not fitting. What you have basically done is akin to throwing speakers into the back of a minivan and blaring the exhaust note from a modded charger or something.

The exhaust is too loud and does not fit the nature of the bike. And this all is coming from a guy who had D&D cans on an SV 1000 but those cans at least fit the part of the bike AND the SV1K is naturally loud as hell anyway

Even my current 675 race bike is unbaffled and yet not that loud as yours. It sounds the part without being brash. I would murder you if you lived in my neighborhood...

[steves]

You were a lot skinnier then.

[soulpatch]

At that time I was hovering around 175 so a solid 30 pounds lighter...

Downingtown,huh?
You practically are my neighbor.
Can appreciate your candor,but don't appreciate negative comments such as 'sounds like shit",especially If you took the time to actually read the thread,I did just mention,the bike really isn't that loud in person (pipes are baffled) and I was going to re-shoot some video,right?

[92xjunker]

You posted for some comments, take what you are given. Short cans ARE loud, some feel the same but, keep it mild in their replies. I have to agree to one point, which is a peeve of mine. The exhaust doesn't fit the bike. It's a TOURING bike. But, in the end it really doesn't matter what we think, it's your bike do with it as you see fit.
