I am considering ordering a H Comp exhaust for my new to me 796 ABS I just got. I am wondering how loud is the Rodan Box one. I will be riding with a passenger sometimes and will have bluetooth audio installed in both helmets so we can talk whenever. I just don't want the exhaust to over power the sound in my or my GF's helmets. Any insight would be great!!!

VERY loud.
I believe there is a sound clip on the H Comp website... also on the forum.

Are they just as loud or louder then quiet boomtubes (baffled). Not sure what to think of the video clips. I know not all recording devices are of equal quality. Also there are a few that are in a garage type structure and walls cause sound to echo. Do you have a Rodan Box installed on your bike if so is the sound too much at highway speeds? |

Well I have heard the Rodan box in person and at speed- it is very loud, for anything more than short rides I would say earplugs/earbuds need to be worn.
It is easy to slip a $10 baffle in the pipe which still retains the same growl, but tames it enough to not be overwhelming.
Don't mistake me saying it is loud for not liking it- it sounds amazing and looks just as good!

curtis:
I have just over 1 year of FHE with the Rodan box exhaust. At highway speeds the exhaust is not that loud, so you might be able to communicate via bluetooth no problem. As 2-Skinny points out, you could also create a homebrewed baffle if it was too loud; I believe DoWorkSon has done this for his.
If you decide to go this route, pay special attention to the cable routing for your rear signals. I have the CW fender eliminator and just discovered the insulation on the wiring for the rear blinkers has been melted, presumably by the exhaust. I am waiting for the motodynamics integrated tail light to come off of back order in August to rectify this issue.

I PM'ed DoWorkSon and he told me what he did to install the baffle and it seems super easy. So I will go that route. |

We want pictures and sound clips. I wish I had that too...LOL.... when I get back in the states I want to make a audio clip and see how it turns out. I was wondering which is better not in looks but function Titanium or Ceramic coat. Also will the Titanium change color after it heats up and cools down enough? A even better question can you drill into Titanium to make a hole? |

My ceramic coated Rodan box is cool enough to be touched within minutes of turning off the engine.

Well Ryan informed me that the Ti ones aren't available so I am getting the Ceramic coated ones now. |

Does anyone know how to make the baffles that are referenced that DoWorkSon did?
