Ha ha. Love is blind. Love can also be deafening. Try being married to my wife and you'd understand.  Evil

My dirt bike was WAY 2 loud, so I made a end piece from a stainless steel elbow that I cut to suit. It interupts the straight through flow without being restrictive, and drops the noise down abit.
 

baffle in place.


baffle removed.

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. 

You need to lighten up Goldfish  Vino!

The slip on termi's are barely louder than the stock pipes. When i spent $3k to put slip ons on my S4R i was very disappointed at how quiet they were. That's just the nature of slip-ons whilst the cat is still in place. Mine compared to the S4R w/full system (or in fact any Duc with a full system) is chalk and cheese. You can't even hear my bike over theirs  Sad

gino - I feel your pain with the engine rattle. Winter warmup is the worst as i am out the front rattling my bones to pieces trying to get the temp up before setting off. For me the exhaust isn't the problem, it's the engine that i wish i could quieten down. Have you tried going back to the stock pipes at all?

Well ok, that's your opinion, and you're entitled to that.

Your point is certainly valid regarding the noise levels, I just didn't see the need to put it in the way you did - it only distracted me from the point you were making.

Anyway, back to the thread.

can't rememebr the northern bloke.....sprayed the inside of his clutch cover (full carbon) with a sound deadening paint which kept it quiet....that and they make more noise when they are warn, and aftermarket ones because of the precision are a lot quieter I've heard.

I put mine in neutral and roll into the garage! and then ride her gently in the morning for the first 5 minutes!

You guys are funny with your 'tread gently near home, but everyone else can get stuffed' attitude ... what are you afraid of a little confrontation or people knowing the truth? laughingdp cheeky

See my lovely wife is the caring, sharing type ... she reckons everybody should get equal servings of custom shorties.

For me (being the shy and quiet type) & Betty its all about getting in touch with nature and all those sweet little chirps.
