Hey guys, so:
if i want to do a can delete for my pipes and just leave the bike straight piped because i think it looks cool, what would i need to make sure the motor still runs properly and is there any thing i can buy that can just quiet it alittle because its so loud i'd def get pulled over for it and its an 8K dollar ticket where im from...
thanks

You'll have to tell us what bike

If you're looking at a ticket that's near or more than the cost of a number of bikes... why do it? It seems that where you're located is pretty serious about having approved exhausts

wha-whaaaaat???!! :o $8000? Where in the hell do you live, Librarytown?

I have straight pipes on my 99 750. It is loud but no louder than the choppers here in nyc. Though I will be making a short extension with a home made baffle to take the sharpness off of the "bark".

monster 796

its called a fix it-ticket. that means that i have until the court date to take care of the problem but i'd have to pay a ticket fee (400 bucks) and all court fees...

My pops has a 357 custom chopper and my monster was louder than it without the pipes  ;D i personally just love the way it looks, it adds so much more rawness to the bike in my opinion, just to big pipes. the monster to me, has a f*** you attitude ya know? it just doesn't really care about except its owner....sorry lol, i tend to personify all my vehicles...

im 20 minutes from the g dub, up in allendale. its right near paramus

lots of folks have done some variation of what you are thinking. check out Nakids bike over in "the OFFICIAL Bikes of the DMF" thread. or you could go with something like the Exbox..

Huh?  AFIAK there is no noise regulations on motorcycles other than must have a muffler in New Jersey.

well, this would be that...no muffler and i've had two car mechanics tell me about the ticket.

SO...you run without the mufflers...you put em back on if you get the ticket and get it reinspected and after you are done...take em right back off...

yeah, that part isn't the problem. its more or less that i dont want to harm the motor. I don't how much airflow is changed by removing the exhaust. Obviously they have an affect on the flow, if i remove them im afraid of the engine running to lean, and losing mid-range torque or just burning or bursting a valve in there. ya know, because right now the bike is computerized to work with the exact stock set-up and if i change that, i also would probably void the warranty which i wouldn't want to do, and godforbid I make the beast with two backs the motor somehow...i'd completely ruin my day.  [bang]

Another option is to take a set of exhaust cans, chop and core them so they are essentially straight pipes that LOOK like you have a muffler. But with how you are running it now you should have the FI adjusted.

no motorcycle inspection in nj...

yeah i just don't like the way the cans look to be honest

you are finding any reason to ditch them eh? lol

i ran open udder which is a bit different from straight pipes for 5,000 miles. did it harm the motor? Not that i can think of. I found other ways to destroy it. it did move my torque curve way into the unsuable range. i dynoed it at 82rwhp or something to that number, but it was a much better with the exhaust on. If you really wanted to get rid of the looks go with boomtubes or exbox.

The Udder

i ran my s2r from 500 miles to 5k with just the udder,...no issues other than some hearing loss. switched to the ExBox, and have been pretty happy with it ever since.

can you go into alittle more detail of an "open udder" i dont know what that is haha is it loud?

you still havent said which model/year/engine bike you have..

i did, check the 4th post reply down...but its a 2012 monster 796

I wouldn't run it without the mufflers then. I've done it for a test. there are issues.

pickup boomtubes and get a tune with powercommander or a reflash.

Ok, where do you recommend i get a reflash? do i just go to the dealer?

Dealers will not do it. Bike shops will. there are liability issues and conflict of intrest if you go to a dealer.

i would go with a PC before i go with a flash to be honest, those new PCVs can tune down int othe O2 range now i believe.

A good place to start is with the sponsors on this site.
I had Moto Wheels in Sac. CA do my reflash, good price and
lighting fast service.
