Termies too loud

[FIFO]

Unfortunately Gino Asking for help here on how to make your exhaust quieter.

Is like going to the pub to ask for advice on how to stop drinking if your an alcoholic.


But on a less serious note i have seen something on the main forum
and some pictures of  Termi baffles recently get searching .

if you have the cat still in place the termis shouldn't be THAT loud, with db eaters in as well, it may end up close to standard as far as noise goes, nice to have the option though.

If it's slip ons like what i have then you are being a sook. They are bloody quiet! Not much louder than the stock pipes.

or some mivvs - meanie will back me up!

Well regardless of whether your opinion has any merit, I'm not sure calling Gino a "sook" is neither polite or appropriate.

Gino, I'll take a step and apologise for the post above  - our little corner of the DMF usually shows more manners, especially to new members.

BTW, welcome to Oz Monster!

Ok thats all cool. I can handle the flack , but its not me , neighbours ! between the open clutch (and thats staying !)and the termi's, their going to kill me .Sounds like i need a baffle , but dont see anywhere in there its going to bolt on even if i had one .yep a picture of one would be good.Anyone got a spare they want to sell?

[loony888]

see, there's the flaw in your thinking. neighbours? who cares about neighbours! none of mine talk to me, i've even got rid of them on either side of me recently, and while the new ones seem nice i've already had the dirty looks and unapproving scowls. lifes far too short to care about what other people think, besides, if they don't like it they can always move..........

p.s, if your termis have a hole on the underside of the outlet, that's where the insert gets held in place with a grub screw.

ok i,ll go have a good look and what part of "kill me " didnt you get !

Oh thank god.  It's not just me that has neighbours who hate 'that loud bike'. I feel normal again.

What? Speak up man, I can't hear you 

My neighbours don't mind my loud pipes at all. I am quite a polite neighbour though.
I'll start the bike, let it idle for about 30 secs, then roll down the hill. As long as I don't rev it hard I'm not upsetting anyone.

[wrxmy99]

correct me if I'm wrong (I don't have any baffles or noise reduction device)...but don't you look at the outflow pipe and termi's have a hole on the bottom where the baffle is screwed?

My Ti Termis don't...and that's the way god intended them to be 

[craigo]

I push my bike up the driveway and halfway down the street if I am starting it before about 8:00am, then go warm up down the road at a servo. After 8:00, pricks use lawnmowers and whippersnippers and leaf blowers, so I reckon it's fair game starting up wherever.

Baffles from the 696 look like this, but you get the drift: [images sponsored by IZ_Cam©]



There is a little allen key screw that goes through the bottom of the muffler to hold it in. They would be relatively easy to fabricate if you know anything about metalwork.


They cut the noise in half but they make the bike sound shit imo. I reckon it would have to cause some sort of performance drop (might just be a mental performance drop, can never tell)

Yeah I know what you mean. I do the same, and sometimes if I'm leaving real early or coming home late, the engine starts / gets cut up the street!

Ok, I'm going to help you out, my bike is quite enough that it does not piss off the neighbours, and I want to make mine louder...so we will have to swap bikes OK

But i'm in Love and its hard to swap when your in love !
