Title: silencers
Post by: bob cunningham on February 21, 2009, 02:02:45 PM
I've got a nearly-stock '99 M900.  Would like to have different silencers, but have specific requirements:  (1) must be as quiet as or quieter than stock, (2) must be carbon fiber or polished aluminum or SS, (3) must be no larger than stock, (4) must fit headers without mods.  Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks

That's a tough one.  You should just polish your stockers then.

Quieter than stock huh?


Maybe you should pack tampons in your stockers, polish 'em, and call it a day.

quieter than stock??  not gonna happen.

they are designed as tight as possible and still give decent performance.  any quieter and you restrict exhaust flow so much the engine will probably not run too well. 

bikes run FAR better with cored/free-flowing cans.
