Boom Tubes On

[zenjim]

Finally got some Boom Tubes to replace the Arrows destroyed when I got rear-ended. I got the ones that have some baffle in them and are not loud comparatively to other Boom Tubes. Apparently the ones with no baffle will cause miscarriages from 2 blocks away. Having said that, they still set off car alarms and are very loud, but you hardly notice once you get past 90 mph. 
One of the cool things about these is that it will allow me to add some saddle bags for the long trips. Couldn't before with the tail chop and shotgun pipes. Also, 80% of my commute is lane splitting, and at slow speeds, people hear you and get out of the way.
I know when I was thinking about this I couldn't get enough pics, so here she is:





That's my girlfriend's Ninja 500 in the background. She took her first road trip today!
And the Gixxer 600 is under wraps behind that.

That's too funny!
I guess I will have to be careful when I  get mine.

man these are looking good! i have my stock exahust back on cause open udder was way to loud for me. i notice a big difference. people dont move out of the way now.

500 or 250? I used to have a 250 in that very same paint scheme.

After he pulled off it sounds like he hit a wall of empty garbage cans.......Thats not too loud. Try working on a 1480 Kawasaki pro stock drag bike with  straight through Kerker exhaust. You will know what loud is. It was ear splitting loud to the point where you ears and throat hurt  from the reverberations of the thing at 6k It would rev to about 15k. L O U D E S T  P I P E S  E V E R . I loved it!

Mark sells them in 4 configurations; quiet (same as stock), normal (what I got - 91 db @ idle, from 108-109 db running), loud, and insane (125 dbs!). I may be putting my Duc in a video for my band in which case I'll probably use some nice mics to get the Booms on tape. Or hard disk I guess nowadays. If I do, I'll post.

i was working in a generator room once this massive backup diesel power generator. I dont know how loud it was, but i was wearing earplugs underneath earmuffs, and it was still loud as make the beast with two backs. it was a huge straight 6 engine. I think it was someting along 20liters or something. the  engine it self was about 10 foot tall and 20 foot long. (it belonged to a hospital). You got stomach aches just from being around it too long. Needless to say it was cool as shit. too bad it doenst go anywhere. lol

Search for Accidental Coolness on iTunes. That's the CD title, band is Sweet Liberty.

Honestly we haven't played out much since our guitar player had his testicles removed got married. But we're releasing a second CD soon and that should change once he gets his balls out of her purse a little more motivated with the new music.
