Not too loud. I think you are right about the measurement. It will be lower outside of the garage. You at least have a muffler. I have heard the bobber run and I have to say, the un-baffled BoomTubes on my bike are way louder....

 Your bike in very loud. Everytime I hear it I can't understand how you can ride it like that. I'd be interested to see a measurement of your bike at idle.  coffee

I liked the sound of the straight pipes on your S2R8!   Evil

My SIL are 105 dB.  Loud but still sound good!   waytogo

I just had a chance to re-measure it ouside and without the confines of the garage it was only 97.5db at idle.   cheeky

to put this in context, what are decibel levels for idle with arrow or termi full system?

If your ears aren't bleeding then it's probably fine.  Grin

have you checked at 2800rpm?

Just trying to see how they compare to 'normal' a/m cans.

if i read that right, then i dont see it as being too loud...  your bike has something there to muffle the sound, but my bike has nothing (04 800 with just the headers, no mufflers), and i dont think mine is too loud.  in fact, at highway cruising speeds i hear my intake OVER the exhaust.

So I guess it's not too loud as I originally thought. Dr. Desmo just came by the house to check out the new exhaust and he thought it was ok. I think his exact words were "Thats the best sounding 2V I've ever heard"  Grin

 I finally got a video so I thought I would share.



 I'm not really sure how I feel about the video. It's much deeper and sounds seriously pissed off in real life.  Grin

 Let me know what you think.

Some of may have been following the "How loud is too loud" thread regarding my new custom exhaust. I finally got a video so I thought I would share.

What's all that rattling  Huh?

Do you need to get your valves looked at? It sounds like something's broken  Undecided
