Title: Quiet Megaphone Exhaust Post by: erik822 on May 13, 2008, 02:28:21 PM The title is obviously an oxymoron, but all the same...
Does anyone know of something that looks like a classic megaphone exhaust, but actually works as a "muffler"? I've seen some DP megaphones, but I'm under the impression that they do very little actual muffling. I have a '02 900 i.e. Title: Re: Quiet Megaphone Exhaust Post by: knightrider on May 13, 2008, 05:26:45 PM i dont think many ppl that want that look, want quiet, i guess your the exception ;D sorry cant help, maybe a baffle could be installed if you find a set.

But look at the termis for the sport classic they have plugs in the end that are removable . These make the bike loud or quiet and look good.

They're a bit louder than stock with the throttle wide-open, but cruising and relaxed riding are nearly the same. If you take the attenuator out, they are absolutely deafening. Talk to pjs parts if you are interested.

It's a pretty deep sound, and it still sounds really good (not as good as LOUD [evil] ). But even with the baffles in, they occasionally still set off car alarms. I put them in when I know I'll be out late, and don't want to overly disturb the neighbors when I'm coming home.
They have a slightly fatter profile than the DP conti replica megaphones, and they're shorter too.

While not "quiet" they're not obnoxiously loud either - I've been running them on my M900 for a couple years, and have been nothing but happy (and they look great as well).
